I remember the day when I realized that my mother stopped physically abusing me because my dad got sober and asked myself, "How did I not know this sooner?" That day, I realized what a monster my mother was.
So glad I found this. It's so insightful, because I'm dealing with the dilemma of listening to my intuition vs self doubts as "it's your fears, you isolate yourself, you're not living life..." Believe it or not, it's extremely difficult no matter how old you are.
Just starting watching this. The cult I was in ( ICOC) did the same type of manipulating. Took me 17 years to get out. But it can't be prosecuted because the founder, Kip McKean never trafficked women. But the lifelong emotional damage he did to THOUSANDS of people is abominable. He started a new cult in Los Angeles and it breaks my heart for those people. He does EXACTLY the same tactics.
WOW what AMAZING podcast, was married to a narcissist for 28yrs, now soooo EDUCATED ON this, well well DONE for taking this on, had to go through the courts for several years but TG i really think judge saw through him, thank you so much for this, it's HORRENDOUS what a Narcissist puts you through, God bless you, and God love people left behind, knowledge is power.
I was in a 40 year marriage to a narcissist/sociopath. I was lucky enough to get a private judge and amazing lawyer who fought with me for 2 years to detach from this monster. These professionals saw right through him, but we still had to go through all the legal bullshit to get to the end game. My FREEDOM! Congratulations to you for getting away as most women, after so many years, don’t. ❤
The healing of Nature-Mark's description of sitting at the ocean after such an experience, and the ocean bringing him back to earth and back to his true self is the most moving for me.
First step is to start sticking up for each other and stepping up when they see someone treating them bad in any way, and if you suspect something speak up and tell them. Then no matter what never cave and stick to your values we need our culture to be like this across our planet, sadly we've got to change those up top first.
Thank you for the podcast and interview. Beginning to see this is a problem in the esoteric spiritual community. I am extricating myself from that community after depersonalization and dissociation thru spiritual gaslighting.
It's not just that community...its in the judicial system... lawyers.. so.e police... councellers... Therapists.. They are literally EVERYONE. My narc was son of a doctor... so people thought he couldn't be bcos he came from a good family. I'm lucky to be alive and hopefully will have a roof over my head. He is now totally exploiting our adult child.... and our adult child is his one man cult. The woman he is with is also I suspect a narc feom what I know of her...she was his mistress when he was with me..its descusting the world of narcissism and no profession is safe feom them...not even families.
Well, it’s the potential problem with any community. Fortunately not any spiritual community is toxic and manipulative. But sure, as lang as you are still prone to not being able to look through and withstand manipulation, it’s probably best to step back for a while 👍
This is probably the most important and validating talk I’ve listened to on Narcissism. I just had a shock when someone in my life revealed just how extreme their viewpoint is (only one person’s needs matter). Thank you for exploring the severity of the shock when someone’s foundation and reality is suddenly shattered. I’m feeling physical symptoms from experiencing this recently. The good thing is that I’ve been through this before and have enough life experience to know that this too will pass; I will heal, and life will go on, giving me new opportunities to try again, choose again, and hopefully this time be a little bit wiser for the experience. Most importantly though, who do I choose to be today and will I fight the demons inside myself?
I told Joey, Straight Up, I do not want to marry him, but to be good friends. He thought a friendship was good. Over time, his complaing increased. I put up boundaries with him.
Thank you for this very painful topic that many will not talk about. It's not easy mentally, emotionally, and most of all physically. It hurts but it reminds us that we are alive. Because you can truly gets so completely lost it's crazy. But doing our best to stay focused to not get sucked in and continue to strengthen ourselves mentally. That is the main goal DAILY. I'm grateful for where I am in my recovery not all the way healed or out but know I'm not completely lost. PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL.
💕💕💕💕💕 I have faith we will all heal and find our spiritual ascension with the right way as well... I still get flashbacks from the cult I was unwittingly in and it's getting healed
Thank Goodness You guys agree about the whole POSITIVE word I have grown to hate the word. The worst thing ever said to me after my son died, was well something always positive comes out of something bad. NOOOOOO wrong. My son got sick and died. That was also 3 months after I left my Narcissist ex and was told the same by many. Be positive it’s over, yes I physically left BUT the scares run deep.
My narcissist ex would always say “be positive”. It didn’t matter what was going on, I couldn’t anything less than positive around him. You just can’t share anything bad with him. Thank God it didn’t last long.
This is an amazing conversation. I have to admit to being fascinated and drawn to documentaries and stories about narcissism, cults, psychopathy, and the like. I am so glad to hear you bringing up the insane amount of material that is being produced for tv right now. I do notice the pattern because pattern recognition is a large part of how I understand the world, but its not something I consciously thought to do. I'm thinking about it more consciously now. I agree that victims are often portrayed as fools or as naive, and this is such a loss of an opportunity to share those peoples' strength. The one series I have seen that presents the victims as powerful was _Love Fraud_, which focused on the women who all fell prey to the same narcissistic con man. It didn't bother to show much about him outside of his role in the situation. These women are heroes and they are strong and smart. You get to see that and the perpetrator looked, to me, like a buffoon. Very well done.
I know that you two need no ego boosting but I enjoy hearing such intellectual compassionate people!! It bothers me that people think only gullible dumb people get pulled in by cults or narcissistic people!! From your videos and from watching these documentaries, it seems that it is really good people that want to make a difference and want self improvement!! I think narcs love to target these kind of people because they truly want to break them down!! I think in reality they can’t believe that people really care about others because it is an emotion they can’t feel so really they are searching for something too or more like “hunting!”
WOW! This is an amazing show, I was in something that is billed as "self help" (that I cant go into) and while its not a perfect fit there are many similarities.
Brilliant podcast. I really like listening to the men who are willing to speak out. I feel their input is invaluable. An intelligent, empathetic man who is strong and can share his feelings is like gold dust for society. Too many telling boys and young men that they have to suppress their feelings and that they're not a real man if they're not aggressive and top dog. Insightful
Mark is so fortunate to have a partner like Bonnie. I am an INFJ empath and also a singer/musician and can see right through a narcissist. I have a strong enough sense of self that they cannot con me and they know it. I have guided my husband through many challenging situations with the narcissists he deals with in his world. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!
Interesting what Bonnie did! “I have so many things going on; I have so many fears. I’m just going to go be still and be with myself.” Reconnecting with herself is such a good practice! 10 days. It was when I spent 2 weeks away from an ex that I also began to see more clearly and found the strength to leave.
Thank you many things cleared my mind and questions ..i thaought im cursed so many narcism i incountered ij my life...its big help in our healing ..indeed life is beautiful after your free from abusive narcissts abused...Godbless
Always love to listen to Mark Vicente. Yes, this was a cult, but these people were seekers, they wanted to become better people. And kudos to them! Ask yourself: am I in a cult right now? Currently we have a cult leader that has 50% of the American people as followers.
It's a very difficult road to go down when is the person you are trying to help, will not see it as help but an attack. I've been trying to help my sister, her counter attack was vicious and gave me PSTD. She's her own worst flying monkey but I think the family is getting to her, it's like water dripping in stone though. We can't give up, just be persistent we have to rescue her children. One has already died for her love of & allegiance to the narcissist.
Thank you both for such an accurate description and report on the dynamics of true cult behavior. AND thank goodness for the Bonnie’s-of-the-world! I went from being a devout Bhakta (devotee) to the whistleblower for not only my former teachers but for the entire umbrella and space of the non-dual culture within which many are covering for the existential harm at the hands of my former teachers. For the longest time I resisted speaking up about this dynamic as I felt it would affect their entire trajectory of ‘awakening teachings. YET…if anyone is harmed or left out…there is no integrity. Now I see that integrity is more important any so-called awakening to Wholeness. One can be awake to Oneness and *still* be operating in the most cultish ways exerting controls over the sovereign lives of others. The thing that forced-my-hand…aside from being silenced (under threat)…was the *deliberate* separation of my family for the purpose of ensuring that the lies of those teachers would *never* become public knowledge. integrityintruth.com/systemic-collusion-in-the-non-dual-field/
Once I put 2 n2 together, I realized he was Narcisstic. I had decided to cut ties with him. He did tell me that he is not good at Relationships and he cannot change. I decided to keep Joey on as a friend. I met his Mom first. Joey always complains. I was sick of it but because I am a good person, I. Tried to understand him. I know, I am to nice, A People Pleaser. He lives in Redding, CA.
It´s terrible, if nobody seems to be interessted in your `story´, when you finally managed to get out! People try to find their own explanations for your strange behaviour: ´You just were sick, my familiy told me., and now you seem to become `normal´again.😪
"if you're feeling uncomfortable, it's working". Evil indeed. Thinking about it differently, would a reasonable person really jump to the "the burning means it's working" conclusion? Probably not. Worded like that, it sounds ridiculous.
idea for an episode: there are naturally rebellious children who are raised in toxic homes but see through the BS early on. how is the experience/effects different in the child who bought into vs rejected the nonsense early on? I consciously (intellectually) rejected religion and propaganda and authority at age 7. while the pain of abuse was there, I never got programmed, I simply planned the escape, met good folks, and became an intellectual avidly reading activist with empowering friendships. I admit addiction to books but never did the alcohol/ drug thing, never joined any political party or cultish org, and wondering if my early "catching on" prevented this??? is there research on children who are not vulnerable to indoctrination despite the abusive upbringing? I was born immune to mind control. but why?
Same! And I'm raising my daughter to recognize cults! I told her she is not allowed to create, join or exit with the cult - she's 15 and can see ppls intentions and thru BS. I hope she masters this skill and carries it w her thru out her life!
I know that I am not worthy of ever being with affection getting called Hurricane Frances or whatever like the premier of Mississauga Ontario was too. Maybe some of us writers from Alberta Avenue community league or from some other place some day could however with affection help Mark here with free editing for him write his memoirs titled whatever he wants. Instead of only just a biography after he dies well in the future someday. After he experienced being taken advantage of by a malignant narcissistic whatever. His testimony reminds me of a situation I was in at one of the Alberta Unemployment centers here rooms which my late sister experienced too. We were subjected to computer generated and analyzed series of questions on where we are in our career journey. Instead of being offered practical information on where we should apply to obtain more employment contracts or a full time paid job in essential services based on our past work experience and educational history we both along with everyone else there in the room were offered only value judgements on how we measured up when it comes to being in control of our life compared to everyone else in the room. Followed by near the end of that series of discussions then encouragement from the leader there to leave with one of the other strangers of the opposite sex who there was getting way more positives from that leader there than us. If I hadn't trusted my intuition when refusing to go along with exchanging telephone numbers with the man a stranger to me there too and then been able to talk things over about the same with my sister Sharon then what could have happened to me and her up in Canada too just like what was going on in m in the world with a way too flexible relationship with their value system. More than one nation besides ours thanks to some getting richer alongside the richest men. That man who approached me there with his story that sounded only like one big fat lie only because I had already affected by someone like him from the same kind of occupational title and so what he was saying didn't make any sense to me given what I learned about it that he had described I might have got taken in by his good looks and by the recognition he was getting from the leader there. That guy looked eerily a whole lot like Jeffrey Epstein not long before he got arrested for the final time. Maybe he was only one of his offspring who got adopted or whatever? Who knows. I cannot remember the alias maybe he was using just to fit in there with a better chance of getting away with more crime. So much like him it left me shaking while watching the news reports about him. That news report while the NIXVM cult was getting shut down too made me wonder if there is a network of narcissists running organized crime with not as many boundary walls anymore protecting us from their life of crime and maybe having to work alongside them too in their day job getting paid in the secular world made possible now thanks to A.I.
Dr Ramani, Nicky Clyne the actress that was one of Ranieres die hards who stayed in the cult under the group name the dossier project has just announced she is no longer under the spell of Keith Raniere. I hope that she reaches out to some of the ex cult e members and maybe she will reach out to you or you her. I know Sara Edmundson said she signed her up and felt bad. I don’t think we thought she would leave. She also touches on the sex situation and how he made her think having sex with him was for her own good, but how she feared he would make her sleep with him. She told him that was a huge fear she had. Yet she still slept with him when he demanded it. She wiped her web site of the dossier project his it She is R supporters and wiped other stuff, but I’m afraid the cult left her and others that left with far right wing political ideas, and I worry like Ginny Thomas and Any Coney Barrett who were both in cults and just traded that cult for the far right political Maga cult, that she has done the same as have other ex cult members. Roger Stone was involved heavily in that cults they had something they called the knife which was a media organization and they would get on far right wing shows and talk about how they could use their organization to fight trump being attacked by media, s like I said it’s cooked in their cult beliefs and had stayed with ex cult members. Nicky is obviously processing still. I wonder what made her realize that he was not a good person. She has labeled him “abusive” Here’s the link, I first found it in Reddit but she also left her statement on the Frank Report. www.reddit.com/r/theNXIVMcase/comments/123z3xx/nicki_clyne_leaves_keith_raniere_her_statement/?
All the inconsistency in their behavior does a lot of damage because obviously nothing was enough and they can't just decide to be nice one day and then nasty the next telling you all sorts of conflicting things, that's not how it works ever under any circumstance. I just don't think i could confront the main leader of any group that does these things like Bonnie did because it's so dangerous and scary, and at work or the education system forget it they'll immediately jump on you and make a giant fuss and example out of you i wish it was always an option but it's not. Instead i just assess the way the leader acts and then the way the other people act, and if any of them join in and the leader clearly knows what these other people are doing but yet doesn't do anything to stop them and only seems pleased while acting indifferent like they have nothing to do with any of it, then i know this is cult behaviors and the person leading all this is crazy, and you see this even in social groups which is what i've mainly dealt with. Even if the leader feins caring about it and supposedly is doing something about it they don't and then goes back to their life, and if you push more and try to bring it up again now you're suddenly the bad person and the enemy, well that again tells you what you need to know. Then i guess i'll just leave not caring what they or anyone else thinks or the fear they may try to make me feel i've never cared about that and i just get out, and then any aftermath all you can do is figure out how to deal with that later if not i'm glad when there isn't and they just let me go so they don't put themselves into question, because by making a giant fuss out of it they are.
Mark Vicente tells her in part one that his greatest wound came from his childhood and without even asking him if he had truly transformed this she jumps to point out how he's obviously totally recovered. He's not recovered and it has nothing to do with Keith, its his own misunderstanding if enlightenment
Sorry the mmmhhs mmhhs are too grating I'm not sure if its down to new podcasting. Hopefully it will change over time because I would enjoy the content better.
Mark has such a nice personality and is a very intelligent guy, it goes to show how anyone can get caught up with this
Yup. I did too 😢
Dr Ramani you are doing an amazing job and I believe everybody should listen to this podcast to increase our awareness about narcissism
I remember the day when I realized that my mother stopped physically abusing me because my dad got sober and asked myself, "How did I not know this sooner?" That day, I realized what a monster my mother was.
So glad I found this. It's so insightful, because I'm dealing with the dilemma of listening to my intuition vs self doubts as "it's your fears, you isolate yourself, you're not living life..." Believe it or not, it's extremely difficult no matter how old you are.
Just starting watching this. The cult I was in ( ICOC) did the same type of manipulating. Took me 17 years to get out. But it can't be prosecuted because the founder, Kip McKean never trafficked women. But the lifelong emotional damage he did to THOUSANDS of people is abominable.
He started a new cult in Los Angeles and it breaks my heart for those people. He does EXACTLY the same tactics.
Because I survived a 10-yr marriage to a narcissist, I was able to get out of the ICOC after six weeks. I agree. They are absolutely a cult.
WOW what AMAZING podcast, was married to a narcissist for 28yrs, now soooo EDUCATED ON this, well well DONE for taking this on, had to go through the courts for several years but TG i really think judge saw through him, thank you so much for this, it's HORRENDOUS what a Narcissist puts you through, God bless you, and God love people left behind, knowledge is power.
I was in a 40 year marriage to a narcissist/sociopath. I was lucky enough to get a private judge and amazing lawyer who fought with me for 2 years to detach from this monster. These professionals saw right through him, but we still had to go through all the legal bullshit to get to the end game. My FREEDOM! Congratulations to you for getting away as most women, after so many years, don’t. ❤
All of this very true
The healing of Nature-Mark's description of sitting at the ocean after such an experience, and the ocean bringing him back to earth and back to his true self is the most moving for me.
Awesome these two together. Cults familes couples government business. Its everywhere because we enable it.

May you find the strength ❤️❤️❤️

They use it todwavule your feelings, play down any issues and because ultimately they can't be bothered having your back
Dr Ramani saved me from multiple narcs. Thank you!
He told me I should focus on myself to get better. I agreed.

Always love to listen to Mark Vicente. Yes, this was a cult, but these people were seekers, they wanted to become better people. And kudos to them! Ask yourself: am I in a cult right now? Currently we have a cult leader that has 50% of the American people as followers.

It's a very difficult road to go down when is the person you are trying to help, will not see it as help but an attack.

Love is complex.

Followed by near the end of that series of discussions then encouragement from the leader there to leave with one of the other strangers of the opposite sex who there was getting way more positives from that leader there than us. If I hadn't trusted my intuition when refusing to go along with exchanging telephone numbers with the man a stranger to me there too and then been able to talk things over about the same with my sister Sharon then what could have happened to me and her up in Canada too just like what was going on in m in the world with a way too flexible relationship with their value system. More than one nation besides ours thanks to some getting richer alongside the richest men. That man who approached me there with his story that sounded only like one big fat lie only because I had already affected by someone like him from the same kind of occupational title and so what he was saying didn't make any sense to me given what I learned about it that he had described I might have got taken in by his good looks and by the recognition he was getting from the leader there. That guy looked eerily a whole lot like Jeffrey Epstein not long before he got arrested for the final time. Maybe he was only one of his offspring who got adopted or whatever? Who knows. I cannot remember the alias maybe he was using just to fit in there with a better chance of getting away with more crime. So much like him it left me shaking while watching the news reports about him. That news report while the NIXVM cult was getting shut down too made me wonder if there is a network of narcissists running organized crime with not as many boundary walls anymore protecting us from their life of crime and maybe having to work alongside them too in their day job getting paid in the secular world made possible now thanks to A.I.
Dr Ramani, Nicky Clyne the actress that was one of Ranieres die hards who stayed in the cult under the group name the dossier project has just announced she is no longer under the spell of Keith Raniere. I hope that she reaches out to some of the ex cult e members and maybe she will reach out to you or you her. I know Sara Edmundson said she signed her up and felt bad. I don’t think we thought she would leave. She also touches on the sex situation and how he made her think having sex with him was for her own good, but how she feared he would make her sleep with him. She told him that was a huge fear she had. Yet she still slept with him when he demanded it. She wiped her web site of the dossier project his it She is R supporters and wiped other stuff, but I’m afraid the cult left her and others that left with far right wing political ideas, and I worry like Ginny Thomas and Any Coney Barrett who were both in cults and just traded that cult for the far right political Maga cult, that she has done the same as have other ex cult members. Roger Stone was involved heavily in that cults they had something they called the knife which was a media organization and they would get on far right wing shows and talk about how they could use their organization to fight trump being attacked by media, s like I said it’s cooked in their cult beliefs and had stayed with ex cult members. Nicky is obviously processing still. I wonder what made her realize that he was not a good person. She has labeled him “abusive” Here’s the link, I first found it in Reddit but she also left her statement on the Frank Report. www.reddit.com/r/theNXIVMcase/comments/123z3xx/nicki_clyne_leaves_keith_raniere_her_statement/?
😮😮😮😮😮they absolutely not all there upstairs
Too dark!??? It’s the light!
Mark still do not talk who were behind that Keith guy.
Bonnie is my shero.
All the inconsistency in their behavior does a lot of damage because obviously nothing was enough and they can't just decide to be nice one day and then nasty the next telling you all sorts of conflicting things, that's not how it works ever under any circumstance. I just don't think i could confront the main leader of any group that does these things like Bonnie did because it's so dangerous and scary, and at work or the education system forget it they'll immediately jump on you and make a giant fuss and example out of you i wish it was always an option but it's not.
Instead i just assess the way the leader acts and then the way the other people act, and if any of them join in and the leader clearly knows what these other people are doing but yet doesn't do anything to stop them and only seems pleased while acting indifferent like they have nothing to do with any of it, then i know this is cult behaviors and the person leading all this is crazy, and you see this even in social groups which is what i've mainly dealt with. Even if the leader feins caring about it and supposedly is doing something about it they don't and then goes back to their life, and if you push more and try to bring it up again now you're suddenly the bad person and the enemy, well that again tells you what you need to know.
Then i guess i'll just leave not caring what they or anyone else thinks or the fear they may try to make me feel i've never cared about that and i just get out, and then any aftermath all you can do is figure out how to deal with that later if not i'm glad when there isn't and they just let me go so they don't put themselves into question, because by making a giant fuss out of it they are.
Mark Vicente tells her in part one that his greatest wound came from his childhood and without even asking him if he had truly transformed this she jumps to point out how he's obviously totally recovered. He's not recovered and it has nothing to do with Keith, its his own misunderstanding if enlightenment
Yep yep mhhhmmm yeah yeah mhhmm
Isn't this guy narcissist himself? I watched one video where he is saying to audince he is narcissist
Almaas is the greatest philosopher on human development
Sorry the mmmhhs mmhhs are too grating I'm not sure if its down to new podcasting. Hopefully it will change over time because I would enjoy the content better.
What a baby
Is the Dr had too much coffee? Seems a bit overly stimulated on this. Constant "yes, yep, emhm, thats right" is a bit distracting.
So no compassion for the so called narcissist .
Absolutely not!
