The Basic Needs Cycle Breakers Often Ignore (And How This Wrecks Your Mental Health)
About this episode
The episode discusses how growing up with a narcissistic or borderline parent can lead to neglecting basic self-care needs and its impact on mental health.
When you grow up with a narcissistic parent or a parent with unmanaged borderline personality disorder, you often learn to deprioritize your own needs. Over time, that conditioning can make it surprisingly easy to overlook the most basic ways we take care of ourselves.
