I like Darlene she is one of those therapists that has seen the depths and felt the depths of her own pain and with that came the ability to own it and set her free from it. That is very refreshing. The interviewer said the words "I" and "like" 1025 times, I'm kidding, she is beginning her journey and its all good.
Darlene has so much great information to share about codependency. It really opened my eyes to so many inner needs I have in my heart from growing in a narcissist environment. I wish I had started this journey years ago. I am almost on my 60s but I guess each person has their own aha moment.
I’m 59 and had a year of therapy when I was 30 and never had any experience with narcissists till I married one 4 years ago. We have lived apart 3 of the 4 years because we can’t get along. And it has nearly drove me insane because I would come away feeling confused and beat up. No matter if I took half the blame and wanted to meet in the middle she never has had empathy for that mutual regard. now that I’m using new words and discovering the narcissism she is not happy. Les has saved my life, I can see clearly the total absence of empathy and never an apology that I felt was her bad behavior being owned by her. Very few apologies at all and if any very strategically used, merely a tool.
Darlene's book on shame has been eye-opening for me. I never knew how much shame alone affected my relationships until I began her book. I always thought it was just depression and anxiety. Her book on shame has also helped me recognize and curb my co-dependent behaviors. I recommend it
When you get your value from Jesus Christ and not others and put Him first and live the way God calls us to, thats how we find healing and a healthy emotional life.
Many, many people haven't had the privilege to be introduced to Jesus Christ in an addicted or abusive family. Look around to see how many are not being raised with faith in God anymore.
The point of an interview is to elicit information from the subject. Lilli talked more than Darlene. Her non questions were about expounding her personal issues and "knowledge." This was a missed opportunity to learn from Darlene, a forerunner in the nascent area of codependency therapy. Lilli definitely filled my dislike tank.
Thank you!
Thanks for the information, insights and excellent analogies
I wish all people with broken hearts hear this episode

Thank you, and I'm so happy that it helped you. I too had no idea!
Good job ladies!
She’s the absolute best
Letting another persons behavior affect you and obsessed with controlling another persons behavior
I wish she could be my therapist! I want out but don’t know how to get out.
Follow the steps in my books. If you're with an abuser, see "Dating, Loving, & Leaving a Narcissist" (or abuser.)
