Richard, I'm wondering if you removed my comment, and whether that was because it contained a link?? If so, I'll comment again, without a link this time. Thank you
Thank youuu Richard!
How much does it cost, and is this the new e mail ✉?
@@annettegardiner7270it’s free - yes it’s the new email list
@@MirAndHer nobody working on or with access to any of my RUclips account removes comments but we get complaints about removed comments daily - I do not know how utube chooses to remove them
I knew my relationship with my ex was like being in a cult. Just one leader and one fool.
The narc is the representation of the archetypal battle between good and evil, Christ and the devil. They literally channel the devil and know your issues and this is a calling to empower the Christ heart within you to rid yourself of evil for good.,. So reframe it to be something positive, like free therapy, instead of some huge wounding process. If u stay wounded and wound up from it darkness wins.. Blessed be.❤
In the US it's mostly narcissists working at psych places especially government ones
the trusted positions in society
I experienced the most toxic work environments in these places. Narc managers were the norm.
I grew up in a cult called: My Family! Mother was the cult leader. There are big similarities between the ways that narcissistic families and cults operate. There are a few helpful articles to be found online, and I'm very much interested in hearing more about this latest course from Richard Grannon ;) Have just signed up for the new mailing list :)
Is the new email 📧 the same as getting the manual?
Wait do you mean the same my family they made documentaries on?
@@devankurmitra4118 nope, not heard of the documentaries. I was simply referring to my own family.
@@MirAndHer oh there's a cult with the name "the family" too, were you raised in Christianity
Oh. My. Goodness. This was eye-opening! I went from a church cult into my first narcissistically abusive relationship - and then 3 more! AND finally realising the depth of the narcissistic patterns in my family and how deep that programming went. Holy moly! Thanks to you I chanced upon Covert Narcissism.....and that unlocked the whole thing. What a carnival. Thanks for what you do.
The irony of the narcissistic urge to post first comment
Both my parents are narcissists. This video is SPOT ON! 😮! Thank you, Richard ❤
It is very much a cult like mentality, all or nothing thinking, worship me, don't question etc. I'm always on the lookout for course/resources to signpost people to so would be interested to learn more about the course.
Can you drop me an email over on helpdesk@spartanlifecoach.info please
The link between cults and individual narc relationships is the narc family + enablers. In my experience the narc family behaves like an organisation - with a clear hierarchy and roles - language is also codified and has a surreal quality when they talk (they seem to understand what they mean, outsiders don't always....). The children, god help them, are the real signs of what's going on. Peace to all on their journey
“It’s the cult followers themselves that are showing up as that cloud of nanobots.” - wow 🤩 a great insight Richard! It reminds me of “the Borg” in Star Trek. Love 💜your mind. Thanks for delivering this in very digestible clarity.
"Reaction seeking machine" My mother would always attack me verbally whenever I was quiet or not exhibiting the same emotions as her. "What's wrong with you, why are you so quiet!!" I hate her for filling me with the hate that I feel towards her. She's such a vile coward.
I pray that soon the courts and laws across the world will also start to reflect the education being exposed.
It is the absence of a loving and admirable father that makes people vulnerable to cults, in my experience.
Yes, We and all humanity, need our Men❤️
it's also to a large degree how narcissism takes root...
Mothers as well, many men are emotionally damaged due to the parent they did have.
Femenist destroyed the family
@@scandinaviansunset and it is my desire for them to have muscles
YES!!! IT ALL HAS THE SAME PATTERN AS CULTS!! I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
Wow! Omg my friend. After one narcissistic relationship after another, I had a dark night of the soul, and started my healing journey, for the first time realizing I was deeply codependent and the role I played in these deeply abusive relationships. As I started healing and doing nervous system work, I suddenly started to develop panic attacks … when I went to religious services. You see I was part of a high control religion and I didn’t know it. And healing from narcissistic relationships, opened my eyes to the gaslighting and control of the cult I was in. Healing codependency woke me up
I think this is such an important discussion! Most of our current woes stem from this. Imagine if we could get along with each other instead of demonizing each other according to the whims of monsters….might notice the real problems….
Thank you for this! I do think we should use "deprogramming" also in the narcissistic sphere. I feel like this is what I am doing with myself, step by step, over and over again, till I have less and less the need to be in narcissisticly abusive relationships. Actually I overcame the need to be in a relationship with any narc (thanks to you @Richard Grannon too!🤗🙌) but I am still automatically attracted to and attracting them. It usually takes me a few days to a few weeks to identify them as such (after at least 4-5 years of intense work on myself &the issue). But not being attracted to them at all anymore is hard work of what you just said: DE-programming myself. It is so deeply entrenched into our deeper feeling&behavious patterns. :-(
Some people think we are all naturally attracted to narcissists- due to them being charming, energetic, in first meeting. They know how to suck people in with love bombing before they start with the devaluing, manipulation and abuse. It takes all of us usually a little tjme to see their true behaviour, so you're doing well.
Dr ramani talks re this - her advice is to go slow, so you can see and be aware.
My last two female "friends" are both disrespectful and manipulative- with the first, i got sucked in to spending regular weekly time wjrh her and it was too awkward to get out. Luckily, eventually she got so annoyed she stomped off ans told me i could call her in a few weeks (supposedly after Id decided to comply out of neediness)! I blocked her number for a few months so i didn't have to think about her.
(She had also found another new friend a few months prior, so i was hoping she would withdraw from me. I don’t know how many people she simply churned her way through!)
The next new enthusiastic friend, i pegged it very fast that it wasn't quite right. She's still in my life, due to having some work to do together, but i was so non responsive to the love bombing (you're my friend etc), that she isn't constantly at me.
I still have to do a bit of regular pushback. Will be glad when i can get more distance.
(The other thing with this second one is i had these strong esp time feelings at times thar she was telling me a lie, though there was zero evidence not a twitch or anything, and the stories were plausibly real. So when i got the chance to ask "how do you know that, who told you"? "when did you see her?' Then it was obvious. She was also super slick at covering her tracks with a quick response (that didn't really make realistic sense).
I basically never believe anything she says now, and try to verify elsewhere if it's important.
I did one of your courses on recovering from narcissistic abuse, Richard. And since I followed it almost slavishly for a long time I actually recovered. So thanks for that. Now I only watch you occasionally when RUclips recommends something (another sign of recovery). But on what your saying here: What I did during this "recovery" work is, in my opinion, much more accurately described as deprogramming than "recovery". So I think that is the proper language and that ought to be used due to the severity of the conditioning, and not the least since you also sometimes have described the narcissistic relationship as a form of internal colonisation (another very accurate term).
There is another exit plan, not the obvious one. Look at a happy family photo of the times you were happy before the cult / narcissist got involved and let it sink in, parallel it to your current situation and repeat each morning. Hope this helps someone
At Episcopal Church Camp on Petite Jean mountain in Arkansas, my wacky, wise, openhearted Godmother presented a grueling retreat on how cults target young adults and how to recognize their tactics. They went so far as to serve us a high carb, high sugar diet so we would experience that light headed sugar rush and learned that is ONE of the many tactics cults use to lower the defenses of young people. I am so thankful for the Jewish people of Helena that gave me my first glimpse of normalcy and loving families and to the Episcopal Church for it's ecumenical faith and teaching me a few life skills, like questioning reality beliefs, authority figures, truth isms. We were even given tshirts with Strength in Christ through Questioning printed on them.
You've nailed it Richard. Excellent.
Yes, this makes a lot of sense. There's a brilliant book called A Piece of Blue Sky by Jon Attack about Scientology, but it can be applied to all organised religion, and the splitting aspect of the sinner/saint dichotomy plays out in both the familial and societal sense. The woman who abused me is a "good Buddhist" and I'm the mentally ill one. Although, she did buy herself an autistic diagnosis and tells people she's a "high functioning autistic" to divert from the obvious fact she's a malignant, controlling emotional manipulator, but she makes good cheesecakes. See, I don't do the splitting.
I so want to send this to her, but pearls and swine, ya know. That, and the fact this is my healing journey alone.
Looking forward to you expanding on these insights, and thank you for your steadfast effort and patience. You may have saved me some jail time ❤
So sorry to hear about the abuse you suffered 😥 Hope you are feeling better now. I wanted to tell that sending video to this manipulative women will not make any difference. And might make things worser as she might feel exposed, so will try her best to hurt you. At least it is from my experience what could happen. Wish you all the best!
@@DavidFincherFanOh, I definitely wouldn't break the 4 years of no contact just to point score, no. It's just so glaringly obvious to me that she has a cult mentality in both aspects (personal and religious). No Christian, Buddhist, Muslim or Jew etc., who was also a pearl clutching narc would ever acknowledge the fact, and it really doesn't matter anyway, this journey is about my emotional, mental, spiritual wellbeing. I can't and shouldn't try to control anyone outside of my own mind. I'd be just as bad as they are.
I took 43 years of psychological manipulation, so it's still early days on my healing journey, and sometimes, just sometimes, I want to punch her in the cu...ticles 😂
Love, love, LOVE Fincher btw. APC's Judith vid 💋👌
😅😅
They know what they are doing. Sending them anything won't change their behaviour, it just means they'll have it in for you more. (I had a friend who told me a group she was involved with got her committed to a mental institution for a week as delusional when she got upset while drunk and confronted or started to rant about her coercive ex, accusing him of rape.
I appreciate your comment about her getting the diagnosis as an excuse to abuse - i feel a lot of people use all sorts of excuses to get away with bad behaviours.
Wow! What a fascinating revelation! Can you believe there was even MORE to realize about the insidiousness of the nature of of the cult/ narcissistic narrative? Wow! I think you are on to something here! Wonderful! It’s got my brain connecting dots now too!
I really like that Richard is doing videos relating to splitting a lot. Because the term gets repeatedly discussed, I actually start to comprehend (and remember) what splitting means. It's a fun way to learn something - simple repetition around entertaining topics.
In the book Combatting Cult Mind Control, Steve Hassan referenced an article where researchers figured out that there could be a one member cult. The reference was in the first edition, and I don't know if it's in the second.The article was short and a breakthrough. Domestic violence shelters were also figuring out this dynamic. But this becoming widely known is new. I am so glad Richard is developing this idea of the micro and the macro. I also did research on this dynamic in the larger culture as it played out in the 1800's. The working title was Sovereignty and Dominion, and I didn't finish it.
Exactly!! I had a spiritual teacher Hindu YogaSwaami +22 years ago teach me to go to Webster dictionary of definition of “ cult “ = Great devotion to person, idea, object or work ( such as film or book” end quote. So one can conclude that maybe we begin to define for ourSelves what a cult is and make sure if we have been subject/BE/ CAUSE we’ve all been Subject to programming, we can choose where we place our “ great devotion “ or Cultish behavior toWards. Logos therapy matters🥰♥️🙏🏼♥️
I downloaded and read it. I grew up in a religious cult and all the rest…
It’s Brilliant. Truely. Thankyou. And Well done.
Understanding narcissistic abuse after my divorce is exactly what helped me to realize that I was in a cult religion. I'm so grateful to be out of both abusive relationships!
I would like to be on the new mailing list. The splitting really boils it down. Thanks
Thank you for your time and thoughts…..and ALL your hard work.
You truly are changing the way people see and understand narcissistic abuse. God bless you for saving our children’s hearts, souls, and sanity, Richard. 💪🔥❤️☯️🖖🦋
I totally agree….I did notice the similarities as profound…..I think using the term deprogramming is appropriate ……Even though it was one on one…..
Yes. Leaving my my soon to be ex is definitely like having left a cult. My kids are still in the cult.
Christianity?
I knew of a family of psychopaths who later they seemed to be a cult.
I’ve been involved with at least one business run exactly by this principle. That business not only had it’s employed as copies of the owner, but only did business with likeminded business owners.
I could go out on a limb and say the entire industry, a sporting industry has gone the same way, in my opinion after attending a trade show in 2019.
Though I’d been in that industry for a very long time, it had been over 20 years since the last trade show I attended and I had started those shows in the mid 80’s.
I never felt so alone in a convention center.
This was 5 years post npd romance dissolution.
How far do these networks go?
This one goes way. way up.
Direct connections with governing lawmakers.
exactly, when I got out and the fog cleared, I KNEW I had come back with intel.....that this dynamic occurs on the micro, macro and every point in between.
Fascinating! Thank you for posting.
Psychology is a cult in itself.
All criteria from "cults inside out" match in so many cases.
Public confessions are my favorite part where students of psychology make tests on themselves and share them 😂
I was in a "polyamorous" relationship with my narc, and i was discarded almost 2 months ago. Your videos have helped me tremendously in my healing work. Thank you.
Victims of narcissists are like electrical outlets. They are unfortunately incapable of unplugging themselves, which is the joy (even artificial) of the narcissist.
Thanks!
Yeah, like texts and Internet searches.
I had been calling my family a cult years before I learned he was a narcissist. As I’ve been healing I have been saying I have to rewire my brain. So this all sounds very familiar to me.
Im thankful for this knowledge.
Wonderful stuff. Been pondering this for some time. 😉
I'm struggling Rich...
Spot on
Very interesting 🧐
Id like to hear your ideas about the LGBTQ I2 ECT Community, the use of 'in-group' words eg pro-nouns and how pro-nouns and other aspects reflect cult ideology?
This is exactly where i landed
I would say narcissism could be split as could you think with either your heart or head and if you are in internal turmoil you won't process events well and you will present as more supplicant or narcissistic or both but as shallow.
I'm having a wake and bake day have a good day all!
Puro y duro... 💙🤍🇩🇴
Do palm strikes work on narcissists? Just kidding, been watching you since street fight secrets.
Headbutts and elbows do, hands are best used for grabbing/ clinching 😁
Cult of one.
There is a.recent amazing series in Spain called La Mesias that depicts all this in such a sarcastic terrorific artistic way that I really feel pity for all Who did not watch it yet😅
First🎉
Have you recovered fully from your narcisistic relationship and have you been able to create a loving and healthy one afterwards?? Or are you single?
Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. John 15:13-14
Yup probably why Judas went to the Cross for Jesus...the ultimate "cult" leader..
Narcs love to troll and Harass people
Vídeo after video you look hotter😅
He knows lol.
😂😂
F O
isnt he the creepy predator from the vice documentary
Grannon deleted my comment?
Grannon you are talking out of your arse.
Flying monkey, this comment would be better with some refutations of the points you disagree with, otherwise, you, Sir, are the arse just being pedantic. Ad hominem attacks are the laziest form of argument, have you tried the emotional literacy course or do you just visit these videos to spread division? Just curious.
@@fromkeajra😂 bravo !
Good 4 you. Showing your true colors.🙄
As someone "across the pond" can you can safely speak to some American topics. Mr. Grannon, will you please speak to America's NPD Trump being the cult leader to his MAGA following?
