Episode Description from the Publisher

Why do narcissists struggle to compliment the people closest to them? In this video, Lee Hammock explains how withholding praise, affection, and validation can become part of a toxic relationship dynamic. A narcissistic person may minimize your accomplishments, criticize you after a compliment, praise strangers while ignoring you, or make you feel like you must earn basic kindness. Learn why their lack of affirmation is not proof that you are unattractive, unsuccessful, or unworthy. Recognizing this pattern can help you stop chasing validation from someone committed to withholding it.Book a Coaching Session: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]🔥 My Books: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://a.co/d/2WNtdKJ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]🎙 Listen to the Mental Healness Podcast: [⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://youtube.com/@mentalhealnesspodcast?si=AVcJfHa16HZReqHL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠]
