RSS Feed In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Dasha about growing up under the authority of a narcissistic father whose image was protected by an enmeshed family system. After her mother left, Dasha became her father’s emotional punching bag and learned that belonging depended on keeping her needs small, excelling, and helping the family preserve his heroic image.
