We all remember Mark Wahlberg and his role as David in the movie Fear.  Reese Witherspoon played Nicole, the girl who fell head over heels for him.  When it started out, David felt like the perfect boyfriend.  As their relationship blossomed in a short amount of time, David’s charm transitioned into a complete nightmare.  On this week’s episode, Athena and Chauntelle are using David as an example as they dive into the 5 stages of a narcissist, and most important, the key phrases they use to help push you through these stages.  Do any of these phrases sound familiar?  Maybe you’ve heard them before, or you are hearing them now?  Learn what to listen for, and how to leave at any stage.
