In today's video I discuss how the scapegoat child may cope with the narcissistic parent's devaluation, deprivation and control by wishing they could become someone else. This is different than having an ideal self. An ideal self is still thought of as part of who you are now. In cases of severe narcissistic abuse, the child may imagine a day when they can like themselves by becoming someone different. This offers the child hope at the expense of feeling connected to who they really are. The latter is not an option because their narcissistic parent makes the experience of being who they are feel so wretched. I will describe this strategy, how it is adaptive, and offer a way to surrender the wish to be someone else.
Knowing the truth about your strength is a critical step in healing from narcissistic abuse.
