This podcast delves into the distinction between being a victim and a survivor in relationships with individuals possessing Cluster B personality traits. I stress the significance of acknowledging one’s victimhood before transitioning to a survivor mentality, using my personal experiences with a covert narcissistic partner to illustrate this journey. Healing and change are portrayed as internal processes rather than relying on support from the Cluster B individual. I highlight the challenging dynamic victims/survivors face in these relationships, navigating between inclusion and exclusion in the Cluster B world. I underscore the importance of acceptance, healing steps, and moving past the initial promises of toxic relationships toward embodying true survivorship. Peace be with you!
