The Observe Don't Absorb Technique: Neutralizing Narcissistic Abuse

In this episode, Ross Rosenberg,M.Ed., LCPC, CADC discusses his Observe Don't Absorb Technique or "ODA."

From George Bernard Shaw astute saying, "Never wrestle with Pigs.  You'll get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it,"  Ross created the analogy of "pig narcissist wrestlers," "the physical wrestling ring," and "the emotional wrestling ring."   

ODA keeps the recovering codependent or what he calls Self-Love Deficient , or SLD, from fighting an adversary that thrives off fighting dirty, is well-skilled at fighting dirty, and is dangerous in their familiar "wrestling ring."  Winning is all but guaranteed when the victim fights them in the narcissists "wrestling ring."   

To "win" with the "pig," the codependent/SLD must use ODA and avoid being pulled into either the "physical" or "emotional" wrestling rings.  It explains how to use ODA for thoughts, feelings, and emotions, that are a result of narcissistic abuse or systematic mind control manipulations or gaslighting.
