The Subtle Tyranny of the God Complex in Love
Manage episode 411317917 series 3465487
Uncover the often invisible threads that weave through the tapestry of human relationships, particularly those entangled with the grandiose God complex. I'm Dr. Bola Sogade, and through a potent mix of professional insight and raw, real-life experiences, we examine the profound impact of narcissism in our lives. We navigate the treacherous waters of self-importance and control as seen in those who, consumed by a God complex, place themselves on a pedestal of omnipotence, often to the detriment of their interpersonal connections. Prepare to confront the manipulative behaviors and entitlement that spring from this extreme superiority, and consider how it hinders personal growth and happiness.
Join me as we share the heartfelt journey of Lillian and Charles, a couple whose pseudonyms guard their privacy as they bravely open up about their struggle against the tidal waves of narcissism in their relationship. Their candid story serves as a beacon of hope and a source of strategies for those caught in similar storms. Listen to their unfiltered challenges and victories, and perhaps see a reflection of your own relationships. This is more than just a conversation; it's an opportunity to understand, to learn, and to transform the way we perceive and deal with the pervasive influence of narcissism.
