Daniel Fox Explores the Glorifying, Belittling, and Abandoning Cycles
🔇 SPEAK DIRECT to our specialists and experts at https://experts.wisemind.com
In this session, Daniel Fox explains the "glorifying, belittling, abandoning" cycle often observed in narcissistic relationships. In this dynamic, narcissists alternate between idealising their partner, belittling them to invoke shame and self-doubt, and threatening abandonment to exert control. These behaviours exploit the partner's core vulnerabilities, creating emotional confusion and dependency. The glorification phase provides false hope, while belittling and abandonment reinforce emotional manipulation. This toxic cycle also extends to professional relationships, including therapy. Fox emphasises the importance of recognising these patterns, fostering self-awareness in clients, and breaking free by addressing maladaptive behaviours, core content, and building healthy relationship expectations.
