How to explain your NPD parent to a friend with Dr Liz

Transcript

Hi, Dr. Liz here with conversations for effective living, and then the Hypnotize Me podcast. And today’s video is a quick one about emotional neglect. So you’ll often hear about this term, particularly from children of narcissistic parents. And I see a lot of them in my practice. It is one of my specialty areas. And often it’s very difficult for someone else to understand that that hasn’t had that experience for them to understand like what’s so bad about this, this and this. Okay. And a quick explanation of this neglect is not getting the good things of parenting. And often this will happen when you have a narcissistic parent and you don’t get the good things of parenting. You don’t get the parent who lights up when you walk into the room or the parent who even notices often that you’re there. Who, when you wake up in the morning, they say, good morning, lovely. Like it’s such a wonderful day because you’re in it, right?

Like a narcissistic parent often won’t give those kinds of things. They don’t give like the kudos. And you’re so wonderful. Often it’s more of a process of how the child reflects on them versus like the child is beautiful and wonderful in their own. Right. Regardless of how it reflects on you as a parent, because we can’t control that our kids do all kinds of stuff sometimes. So it’s not always a reflection of the parent. So that is one explanation that perhaps you could use if you are struggling with this and your friends just really don’t understand and don’t get it. All right. Remember, there’s free stuff at my website, including a hypnosis for emotional stability. And you can go over there and check it out and get it for free.
