You’re about to get excited, about a story, an idea, a person, and something inside you hits the brakes.

“Careful. You’re getting carried away. You’re too much.”

That alarm didn’t come from nowhere.

If you were the scapegoat of a narcissistic parent, your energy was treated like a problem, until your nervous system linked excitement with shame.

Now it shows up as holding back, overthinking, pulling away from what you enjoy.

Have you ever felt “too much”?

You’ve read the books. Watched the videos. You can explain exactly how a narcissistic family system works.

So why do you still feel like there’s something wrong with you?

If you grew up as the scapegoat child of a narcissistic parent, understanding the abuse is only part of the picture.

Your sense of self wasn’t built from information, it was built from repeated relational experiences that trained your nervous system to see yourself as defective in order to stay attached.

In this video, I explain:

• Why insight alone doesn’t lift the scapegoat spell
• How attachment needs shaped your self-worth as a child
• What “relational disconfirmation” is and why it’s the key to real change
• Practical steps to start breaking the scapegoat spell in real life

If you’ve ever wondered why you understand everything intellectually but still feel worthless on the inside, this one is for you.

Does this resonate? Drop a "❤️" if you’ve felt that gap between understanding the facts and actually feeling worthy. Let’s support each other in the comments.
