Thanks. Your explanation about unconditional positive regard made a lot for me about your take on perpetrators make sense. And it's understandable. It's not your job to simply take sides but to work with everyone where they are at. And yet you also validated the listener so well. Emotional abuse is so tough to get others to see it for what it is.

I do think it can be really damaging/triggering for people who are victims of abuse or survivors of narcissistic abuse to listen to a podcast where their abusers are empathized with to the degree they are in some of these episodes. Talking so so much about how much suffering the abuser may or may not be experiencing can feel like it invalidates the abuse and or suffering they’re inflicting on people close to them. Abuse victims already often take on responsibility to some degree for their own abuse and the narcissistic tactic sometimes actively encourages that. narcissistic abuse and emotional abuse are sometimes so subtle that it takes a long time to even recognize that you’re being abused. Truly/severely Narcissistic people can be violently abusive, destructive and capable of inflicting a lot of harm on their loved ones. I personally don’t think their supposed suffering is a viable reason to feel empathetic to someone who is actively abusing you. Rapists are sometimes victims of sexual abuse themselves but there’s not a ton of rhetoric or conversation around having empathy for your rapist.
