524: Why You Keep Attracting Narcissists (A Perspective You Haven't Heard) with Ehsun Anwar

With this relationship renaissance that is happening right now comes the opportunity to redefine, heal, and allow ourselves to truly be seen, heard, and felt by another. Because we cannot bypass certain parts of ourselves and our partners and expect things to work without DOING the work. (Trust me, I tried.)   Something that often shows up when healing in a relationship is the mother and father wound. Ultimately, our parents are our first relationships and they define how we show up in future relationships whether we are conscious of it or not. This means we are repeating the patterns that were reflected to us by our parents, whether they are good or not.    On this week’s Highest Self Podcast, I am joined by Ehsun Anwar to talk about the mother and father wounds as well as the narcissist and empath dynamic. We talk about how each of these traits can show up in your life plus ways you can heal from them.    In this episode, Ehsun and I explore… What our upbringings taught us about our parents What the mother and father wound is How curiosity leads to healing How the mother wound shows up in men and women How the father wound shows up in women and men What the root of narcissism is  Why people are attracted to narcissists Why narcissism was once considered sacred The balance of masculine and feminine energy What both the feminine and masculine yearning is And SO much more!   This is one of those episodes that will leave you feeling refreshed with insights to remind you that you are not alone, that you are worthy, and that you are validated in your emotions.
