Narcisistas: por qué te enganchan y cómo salir sin volver atrás (con Joan Rubio)
Narcisistas: por qué te enganchan y cómo salir sin volver atrás (con Joan Rubio)
**[Únete a nuestro grupo de whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Cp2jyUS8Z9a0AsWJ1kbV0f)** **Hay relaciones que empiezan con intensidad, conexión y sensación de admiración… y terminan en desgaste, confusión y pérdida de identidad. No siempre es fácil identificar lo que ocurre mientras estás dentro.** Especialmente cuando la persona que tienes enfrente alterna encanto y desprecio, cercanía y distancia, validación y crítica. En este evento abordaremos el vínculo con perfiles narcisistas y, sobre todo, por qué generan un enganche emocional tan fuerte incluso cuando el daño es evidente. Durante la sesión trabajaremos: * *Qué rasgos caracterizan a una dinámica narcisista (más allá de la etiqueta clínica)* * *Por qué el refuerzo intermitente crea dependencia emocional* * *Cómo se activa la herida de validación y el miedo al abandono* * *Señales de manipulación sutil: gaslighting, inversión de culpa y desgaste progresivo* * *Claves prácticas para cortar el vínculo sin recaer ni idealizar el pasado* Este encuentro está dirigido a personas que han vivido relaciones intensas pero desestabilizadoras, que saben que no les hacía bien… pero aun así sienten dificultad para soltar del todo. No se trata de señalar al otro únicamente, sino de comprender qué parte interna quedó atrapada en esa dinámica y cómo fortalecerla para no repetir el patrón. Si alguna vez te has preguntado por qué vuelves a alguien que sabes que te hiere, este evento puede darte claridad psicológica y herramientas reales para salir sin volver atrás. ✨ **Dinámica especial durante el evento** ✨ A lo largo del evento, varias personas compartirán en una dinámica abierta sus experiencias reales conviviendo o relacionándose con personas narcisistas. 🫂 Porque compartir también ayuda a sanar, entender y crecer juntos. **aportación :** 5€ para gastos de organización. **Dirección:** Amaltea (calle Diputación 164) Te esperamos! :)

Bad Girls Book Club June 2026
Bad Girls Book Club June 2026
**Our June novel is: *The Eights* by Joanna Miller** **This month’s novel is set during World War I. It’s a 20th-century historical fiction story about friendship and war, with coming-of-age elements and a slightly haunted tone. The book is 384 pages in print and 10 hours and 9 minutes on audiobook.** Oxford, 1920. For the first time in its one-thousand-year history, Oxford University officially admits female students. Burning with dreams of equality, four young women move into neighboring rooms in Corridor 8. Beatrice, Dora, Marianne, and Otto—collectively known as The Eights—come from all walks of life, each driven by their own motives, each holding tight to their secrets, and are thrown into an unlikely, unshakable friendship. Dora was never meant to go to university, but, after losing both her brother and her fiancé on the battlefield, has arrived in their place. Politically-minded Beatrice, daughter of a famous suffragette, sees Oxford as a chance to make her own way - and some friends her own age. Otto was a nurse during the war but is excited to return to her socialite lifestyle in Oxford where she hopes to find distraction from the memories that haunt her. And finally Marianne, the quiet, clever daughter of a village pastor, who has a shocking secret she must hide from everyone, even her new friends, if she is to succeed. Among the historic spires, and in the long shadow of the Great War, the four women must navigate and support one another in a turbulent world in which misogyny is rife, influenza is still a threat, and the ghosts of the Great War don’t always remain dead.
