In this deep psychological talk, we explore the spiritual and mythic roots of narcissism and narcissistic abuse — tracing how ancient worship, sacrifice, and cult psychology still shape modern relationships.

Discover why narcissists often embody both the messiah and the martyr, how our human drive to worship creates cycles of dependency and idealization, and why the loss of religion may have intensified modern narcissism.

From ancient mystery cults to modern self-worship, this talk dives into our collective shadow, asking: are we still driven by the same primal forces that once led us to worship gods, idols, and icons?

If you’re ready to understand narcissistic abuse beyond the psychological surface — this is your guide to the deeper, mythic architecture of human behavior.

🔹 Explore the ancient origins of idolization and emotional worship
🔹 Understand the “cult of one” and how it mirrors ancient religions
🔹 Discover how our evolutionary need to worship fuels toxic dynamics
