Learning to Communicate with a Narcissist

Narcissist Divorce Coach Victoria McCooey joins Seth and Pete to talk about the challenges that come when trying to get out of a marriage to a narcissist. It’s not easy! We walk through Victoria’s three stages in communicating with your narcissist soon-to-be ex that can help you more easily navigate this difficult situation through each of its phases.


Victoria has been through her own divorce from just this sort of person and has turned that experience into a powerful mission to help others do the same.
