Transactional Love & Narcissistic Abuse

No Visible Bruises - Ein Podcast von Caroline Strawson

Do you know the invisible weight of transactional love?

As someone who has walked through the emotional minefield, I understand how every interaction becomes a calculated performance. 

The narcissist conditions you to believe your worth is transactional and you constantly have to prove your value through endless giving, pleasing, and sacrificing. Your authentic self disappears and is replaced by a version carefully crafted to avoid criticism and earn microscopic fragments of affection. Each day becomes an exhausting dance of walking on eggshells, anticipating their next emotional manipulation. The trauma leaves invisible scars, making you question your own reality, your own memories. But healing is possible. 

Recognising that your worth isn't determined by their validation is the first powerful step towards reclaiming your identity. You are valuable simply by existing, not by how perfectly you serve someone else's toxic narrative. Your survival is your strength.
