Are you stuck in a relationship where giving feels endless and love feels conditional? In this episode, I explore how codependency, future faking, and patterns learned from our family dynamic can keep us trapped, and how alcohol, drugs, and distractions reinforce the cycle. Sobriety isn’t just about quitting substances; it’s about gaining clarity, recognizing your value, and understanding your relationships for what they truly are. When you remove the brain fog, you stop believing the lies, see through the future faking, identify the false hope, and see the manipulation for what it is.  When we are sober are able to stand up for ourselves in a more solid and consistent way, better at setting healthy boundaries, and we are able to gain confidence and a better overall self-esteem.  #narcissisim #narcissistic #sobriety #toxicrelationships #clarity #futurefaking #falsehope #manipulation #gaslighting #borderline #covertnarcissist #malignantnarcississt  Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ashley-berges-show--1272964/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ashley-berges-show--1272964/support</a>.

Clarity Through Sobriety: Accepting the Truth in Toxic Narcissistic Relationships. [Ep.806]

Our personal relationships are extremely important and being able to navigate them properly is paramount for our safety, well-being, and overall happiness. We may find ourselves in a challenging family dynamic, complicated marriage or relationship, and all the while working to gain a clearer picture of what we want in our life and what makes us tick. The better we understand human nature, self-centered personalities, passive aggressive behavior, personality disorders including narcissism and borderline, the better we equip our lives centered around knowledge and personal empowerment. The more we center ourselves around healthy companionship, family, friends, and co-workers, the more time we have to work on ourselves to be the best version of us!  This show is dedicated to anyone who has had enough of manipulation, gaslighting, and others trying to control them through manipulative tactics including the silent treatment and passive aggressive behavior. Instead of finding yourself in constant reaction mode due to someone else’s criticism, mental and emotional abuse, and childish behaviors, you choose to thrive and surround yourself with healthy people. This show is your safe zone and the place to learn and make huge strides in your relationships and in your life to get the healthy life you deserve.  Ashley works with clients all over the world by helping them to make healthy choices, change outdated mindsets, and adapt a new way of life to achieve the life and relationships they have always wanted.
