Stop Calling Yourself an "Empath" (You Are Just An Enabler)

Are you an "Empath," or are you just addicted to chaos? If you keep attracting Narcissists, it isn't bad luck. It’s physics. In this 15-minute episode, I'll dissect the Human Magnet Syndrome and expose the hard truth: The "Nice Guy" or "Empath" is often just a Covert Narcissist in disguise.

We break down the neuroscience of why you can't leave (Intermittent Reinforcement), the manipulation tactics used against you (DARVO), and why you might be an "Echoist" who has lost their voice. We also explore the spiritual arrogance of the "Savior Complex" and the Biblical archetype of Ahab & Jezebel.

If you're tired of playing the victim and ready to understand why you're addicted to your own suffering, this episode is the mirror you need to look into.
