Are you hearing these 7 phrases from a narcissist? In this Jungian deep-dive we decode the exact language that manipulates your emotions—and how to break the spell using Carl Jung psychology, shadow work, and the path of individuation. If you’ve felt “too sensitive,” “overreacting,” or told to “calm down,” this narrative guide blends mythic storytelling with practical tools to reclaim your reality. In this 33-minute episode on Inspire to Mastery, you’ll learn: The 7 phrases narcissists use to control you—and the counter-moves that return you to Self. How Jung’s archetypes (Lover, Warrior, Caregiver, Trickster) and shadow integration expose the control loop. Why we’re attracted to unavailable people, how projection works (anima/animus), and how to withdraw it. Using synchronicity wisely (meaningful signs vs. seductive detours). A cinematic story + guided reflections to anchor boundaries, truth, and calm strength.
