Was actually something else?

In this eye-opening video, I break down the real reason so many high achievers — CEOs, influencers, lawyers, even therapists — get mislabeled as narcissists. The truth? Most of them are actually falsely empowered codependents.

They’re not arrogant. They’re ashamed.
They’re not invulnerable. They’re deeply afraid of intimacy.
And they’re not narcissists — they’re wounded children in adult bodies.

You’ll learn:
✅ The two types of codependents and why 95% of people miss this
✅ How to spot the subtle difference between narcissism and false empowerment
✅ Why your need to “do it all alone” might be the trauma talking
✅ And how to finally break free from this pattern

If you've ever felt confused by someone’s behavior (or your own), this video will radically shift how you see emotional health, healing, and relationships.

Ever wondered why you keep falling for the wrong person? Why the butterflies in your stomach always seem to lead to heartbreak?

Here’s the truth:
You’re not broken. You’ve just misunderstood your own emotions.

In this video, I walk you through groundbreaking research from neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett—and how your childhood, trauma, and worst day cycle are writing the emotional script of your life without you even knowing it.

You’ll learn:

• Why we confuse emotional triggers with love

• How your brain predicts emotions based on past pain

• Why both narcissists and victims are playing out the same shame-based pattern

• How to finally escape the Worst Day Cycle

🎯 This is not about blame—it’s about ownership. And once you see the truth, you’ll never be the same.

Are you labeling someone a narcissist... when they might actually be a falsely empowered codependent?In this episode of the Heal the Hurt Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most common—and most dangerous—misunderstandings in emotional healing and relationship dynamics. Many people confuse certain types of codependency with narcissism, and that confusion can destroy relationships that are actually salvageable.Kenny Weiss explains:🔹 The exact DSM criteria for diagnosing Narcissistic Personality Disorder🔹 Why so many people on the internet are misinforming you (yes, even the popular ones)🔹 How addiction, awareness, and consistency differentiate a narcissist from a codependent🔹 Why you can’t save a narcissist—but you can help a codependent (even if that person is you)🔹 Whether Kenny himself identifies more with narcissism or codependenceBy the end of this video, you’ll have a clear framework to recognize the subtle yet crucial differences between narcissistic traits and falsely empowered coping mechanisms.👉 Stop mislabeling. Start healing.If this brought you clarity, don’t keep it to yourself—share it with someone who needs to hear it.

For the longest time, I told myself they were just being disrespectful.
That ignoring me was their way of being petty.
But eventually, the truth hit me:
They were only reflecting back what I unknowingly taught them.
I didn’t know how to deal with conflict—so I used sarcasm. Snarky jabs. Silence.
I thought I was defending myself… but I was modeling passive aggression.
Now I see:
This child who won’t speak to me learned that silence… from me.
This isn’t about blame.
This is about owning our part in the story—so we can rewrite the ending.
Healing starts when we stop pointing fingers… and start looking in the mirror.

It’s not about the message.It’s about your story.For me, it goes back to being a kid—waiting on a mother who promised she’d stop drinking… and never did.I learned early that words were cheap.So now, as an adult, I watch actions.Always actions.That’s why I have non-negotiables around communication.Not because I’m “too much”…But because my trauma taught me what silence really feels like.And here’s what most people miss:You won’t stop getting triggered until you know what your needs are.Your morals.Your values.Your negotiables… and your non-negotiables.If you don’t know them, you’ll keep chasing people who ignore you…and calling it love.📘 If you're ready to stop giving yourself away,start your healing here:https://calendly.com/kennyweiss/single-session-350?month=2025-05📚 Purchase MY NEW BOOK: Your Journey To Being Yourself; https://amzn.to/3U1IGNZ📚 MY FIRST BOOK:'Your Journey To Success': https://amzn.to/3nfVphr🌍 My Website: https://www.kennyweiss.net🎓ONLINE MASTERCLASSES: https://thegreatnessu.com/courses🕺CONNECT WITH ME:Heal The Hurt Weekly Podcast 🎙https://spoti.fi/46FSmAjInstagram 📸 @kennyweiss.kwFacebook 👥 https://www.facebook.com/kennyweiss.netNewsletter 💌 https://geni.us/kennyweissnewsletter
