You’ve probably already reflected over the narcissistic relationship and asked yourself, “How did I wind up so duped?”  

When I look back over the multiple narc encounters I’ve had, I realized that I projected my qualities and assumptions onto the narc.

It would never cross my mind to manipulate, to be a pathological liar, to use people, or knowingly cause them pain.

I knew that hurting people hurt people…But my projected assumption was that they didn’t mean to.

Once they came to awareness that their words or actions were hurtful
they felt bad and tried to make things right, including making changes within themselves.

The paradigm shift for me happened with an epiphany that when it comes to narcissists, they DO mean to be hurtful and have zero intention to self-reflect and/or make any authentic attempt to change.

We blew off the early red flags with the narcissist because it never occurred to us that we were being deliberately deceived and used.

That’s just the stuff that occurs in movies, right?

Since you’re past the crisis stage of breaking free from a significant narcissistic relationship, the last thing you want is to slip into another one - or even a relationship with a non-narcissist  that isn’t good for you for one reason or another.

In this episode we’ll look at those red flags as a point of reflection then talk about 3 wise ways we can not only protect ourselves in the future but beyond that - proactively quantify who the quality relationships are that we really want to invest our time and energy into.
