Pandora’s Box with Kaleah

In this episode we are bringing back a conversation from five years ago with Sam Vaknin, twice diagnosed narcissist and diagnosed sociopath. Sam Vaknin, author of "Malignant Self Love - Narcissism Revisited" , a work of reference about the Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Join me as I interview Self Proclaimed Narcissist Sam Vaknin who is one of the leading authorities on Narcissistic Personality Disorder on the Web. We will talk to Sam about how he came to discover he had NPD and how he has used the knowledge and experienced he has gained to shed an inner light to the disorder for others to gain a greater understanding.

Suicidal tendencies are common amongst people who are coming out of relationships with narcissists, sociopaths, and other crazy making personalities. There is often extreme loss of Self as well as loss of the illusion one has been living under. There is also loss of social support, friends and family members due to the crazy making energies of the relationship. Understanding why one has lost the will to live is an important part of the recovery process and so is regaining what has been lost. In this episode of Pandora’s Box we will be discussing why we lose the “Will to Live” and how to work with the feelings that are surfacing during such a dark time in our lives. We will also be talking about “The Journey into Darkness” and related Mythological characters who bring wisdom through their journeys.

This is a replay from one of my earlier shows on the topic of Psychic Vampires. Vampires are not just imaginary creatures of fiction or legend—they really exist. They are the people who, having never received love, settle for power instead, and become experts at robbing others of their vital energy. Join Barbara Hort, author of “Unholy Hungers” as we talk about how you can tell if you are involved with a psychic vampire and what to do about it.

Kaleah and Kathryn Rudlin talk about unavailable Mothers and how those who grow up without emotional nurturing hunger for that nurturing all their lives until they can take that inner healing journey to find and embrace the Mother within. The book Ghost Mothers was inspired by the many years Kathryn spent trying to create a positive relationship with her illusive mother. When years of effort led nowhere, she came to see that her mother wasn’t capable of maternal nurturing, and that she was a ghost-daughter, haunted by painful feelings and unsure how to move forward. Her healing journey reinforced the many strengths developed in growing up this way, and she now shares her personal and professional experience to help others thrive.

How to Spot and Survive the Hidden Manipulation Others Use to Control Your Life. Join us as I interview Dr. Robin Stern, the author of "the Gaslight Effect" as we explore the common narcissistic behavior called "Gaslighting." Find out how this subtle form of manipulation can cause an individual to believe she is going crazy! This is a replay of an earlier interview from Kaleah's original show "Dispelling the Myths."

When you are on a conscious growth path you will experience increases in conscious awareness.  Just the act of raising your consciousness has the power to clean out lower level energies from your life.  We often ask "why did he leave?"  In the natural order of things those who do not resonate at the same or a similar level of consciousness will be moved on.  As you grow and become a higher version of yourself you can no longer resonate at the level you were before and if a lover or partner is still resonating at the lower level he or she may simply move on to find someone who is still at the lower level of awareness.  Why is this? Tune in to Pandora's Box to learn more about the Law of Resonance and how understanding this law can help you heal and move on to higher levels of life experience.

What happens when you can no longer live in the way you have been living?  What do you think will happen when you outgrow your current form; when you outgrow the patterns you have been living your life with?  You may experience something that looks like a nervous break down or emotional break down but what if it is actually an emotional break through?   In this episode of Pandora's Box Kaleah talks about the experience of emotional crisis and pain in assisting us in breaking through to new levels of awareness and wholeness.  Learn how to work with your emotional states rather than allow your emotions to rule you.

When going through difficult times in your life it can be a challenge to look for what is good; to count your blessings and be grateful.  It is gratitude that helps us to see the glass as half full rather than half empty.  It is gratitude that helps us to focus on what is good in our lives rather than what is bad.  In this episode of Pandora’s Box Kaleah talks about developing an attitude of gratitude to shift your consciousness to a more positive outlook on life, greater happiness and well being.

When we learn to listen to the still, small voice within we step into the flow of the river of our lives and go with the current rather than against it.  How do you learn to listen?  How can you tell when your gut is trying to get your attention?  How do you know if it is your head or your heart talking?  In this episode of Pandora’s Box we will be exploring Intuition and the importance of listening and following.

What is the difference between cutting the psychic cords and dissolving the toxic bond?  Nothing really.  It is a different perspective and another way of understanding the energetic connection when it takes a dark or negative turn. We bond with each other through love, a connection that includes fondness, respect, empathy, caring, concern and other “love like qualities.”  But when fear creeps in there is a need to control, to be in control, to avoid being hurt, to avoid feeling uncomfortable by invoking those emotional charges that don’t feel very good. The more reactive one becomes to those feelings of fear and discomfort the more toxic the relationships becomes.  We then become corded to the other through a toxic connection.  How do you dissolve these kinds of toxic connections?  Tune in to find out. This is Part 5 of "Super Charging Your Inner-Chi" summer series.
