Parental Narcissism: Three Trying Traits that Negatively Impact Adult Children of Narcissists

February 6, 2023 by Chelsea Robinson Leave a Comment

Without further ado, here are three ways that narcissistic parents wreak havoc and incessantly impact their adult children:  Immune to Emotional Maturity and Empathy  Narcissistic parents are immune to your emotions yet want to dictate and tell you how you should feel; they diligently dodge and bypass any roads that lead to your emotional needs, and, overall, they can be extremely emotionally … [Read more...] about Parental Narcissism: Three Trying Traits that Negatively Impact Adult Children of Narcissists

Mini-Me Madness: Exposing Engulfing, Narcissistic Parents and Establishing Boundaries during Adulthood

January 3, 2023 by Chelsea Robinson Leave a Comment

Some parents dream of and pursue parenthood for secretly selfish, self-absorbed reasons; it’s just a fact of life. Some parental figures strut into the world of permanent parenthood with a grossly grandiose sense of self—wondering what’s in it for them, wanting to leave a lavish legacy, or waiting to be nurtured by their adult children in old age. Some parents, however, don’t wait until the golden … [Read more...] about Mini-Me Madness: Exposing Engulfing, Narcissistic Parents and Establishing Boundaries during Adulthood

Trauma Markdowns and Narcissistic Abuse Fog

December 5, 2022 by Chelsea Robinson Leave a Comment

“If I had one dollar deposited into my savings account whenever anyone downplayed their trauma, I’d be a millionaire by now.”  “If a stranger handed me twenty bucks every time someone contemplated whether or not their trauma ‘counts’, I’d be set for life in no time.”  Know that there’s no such thing as a trauma club gatekeeper, and keep in mind that it’s not up to me or others to pound the gavel … [Read more...] about Trauma Markdowns and Narcissistic Abuse Fog

“Mother knows best,” they say.  Have you ever questioned the possibility that such a bold statement could’ve come straight from the maternal mouth of ‘mother dearest’?  What if these words are just a ploy to make the world bow down and mindlessly adhere to the matriarch’s narcissistic regime?    Whatever purpose this declaration serves, we know that it can be detrimental; it prevents the world … [Read more...] about Mother Dearest?: Understanding Covert Maternal Narcissism

Racial Gaslighting (Mass Manipulation), Self-gaslighting, and the Grey Rock Method

March 2, 2022 by Chelsea Robinson Leave a Comment

It’s one thing to deny and downplay one person’s lived experiences—twisting their words and reality like a spine-chilling contortionist and shoving them into a deep hole of self-doubt via gaslighting.  It’s another thing to undermine and minimize painful experiences linked to entire racial groups. Now that’s what you call mass manipulation, rearing its ugly head in the form of racial … [Read more...] about Racial Gaslighting (Mass Manipulation), Self-gaslighting, and the Grey Rock Method

The Victim Façade (Continued): The Narcissist, Gaslighting, the Gaslightee, and DARVO

January 27, 2022 by Chelsea Robinson Leave a Comment

“The truth hurts,” they say.  Instead of accepting reality, people tend to apply avoidance strategies—hoping that doing so will magically erase roadblocks in the long run. When you navigate the world using a fragile ego as a compass, the truth doesn’t set you free; it propels you into a state of fury or even leaves you trapped in an abyss of endless, internal agony. For some, acknowledging the … [Read more...] about The Victim Façade (Continued): The Narcissist, Gaslighting, the Gaslightee, and DARVO
