    The part about following emotions - spot on! Always better to follow your head.

    First I discovered narcissism and was shocked to realise I had been surrounded by them my entire life. Then I discovered what codependancy was and was even more shocked to discover I carried many of those traits too.
    A while back after being single for almost two years I met a woman quite by chance. We went on a couple of dates and I was really focussed on seeing if she was narcissistic or not.
    Today we are happily building our lives together. There isn't anything magical about it and sometimes it can be hard work but I swear as long as you can communicate openly and honestly it is possible to grow and flourish.
    Side note - she also comes from a narcissistic family and had a few codependant traits herself. But on that front she was already more mature than me and I don't think we would have got together if I hadn't already been on the recovery path myself.
    Another great video.
    Peace!

    Yep, this was me all the way back at age 6. I'm in my early 40s now, and I still haven't fully shaken it. Intellectually, I know that there's no prince charming and that being single is not an indication that something is wrong with me. However, on a heart level, I wish more than anything that someone amazing would love and adore me that way and prove to me that I'm actually a worthwhile human.

    Really good. Especially the part about what meaning used to entail and the key about emotional trauma or neglect in childhood being at the root of magical romantic thinking. I rarely listen to music or watch movies because of the unnecessary emotional nonsense they drum up. I prefer peace. Thank you, Joe. 😊💗

    Unfortunately we found this out hard way a we know now that there are normal people and there are mentally, or emotionally disturbed people , who look normal. Beautiful video, well explained. Thank you Joe ! 🤗❤

    All your work is helpful, Joe, and this is perhaps your most succinct yet comprehensive master stroke. Thank you for helping me clear my cognitive and affective distortions

    You are a great instrument sharing The Truth. The world needs more and more of your vibrations. To save humanity from this Ocean of Illusion - created by humanity. When we balance our subtle system, when we step into our centre of Pure Knowledge, reality steps in. We become satisfied, joyful, peaceful personalities without the shine of superficiality. Then our never ending search for true love is complete - in Union with our Spirit. ❤️

    The whole world is a fake illusion. My mam lived ina time . That everything was romanticised . She looked at all the old films and old songs like life lived that way . Everything was based on a lie. I now have found my happiness in God . He was the one I was looking for all my life . And little did I know he was with me all the time . Thanks for your advice .I wouldn’t be Here now . Only because God the Father of all Creation. Carried ME . Peace

    In my experience my self proclaimed soul mate was far from such after about a month the idealization period was over and gone into the torment of devaluation and multiple disengagements get out early do not stay 💯❤️🙏🙌

    Yeah, Jerry McGuire is prime example with the line, "you complete me." Dangerous and faulty movie to watch as a teenager.

    🤍 Just lovely 🌺 Thank you for this message and the beautiful visuals. I am interested in learning and researching whether one could apply psychoanalysis or other approaches in psychology as a 'way of life' or solo journey. Any thoughts perhaps? Wishing you a Blessed day in every way 🙏
