The sibling relationship is forever warped and changed by narcissistic abuse. When our parents pit us against one another, or set us up for toxic competition, we stop seeing the humanity in one another and see the conflict instead.

Part of healing from the pain of our childhood, for many, requires acknowledging the pain of their sibling relationships, too. In this relationship I'm explaining some of my most commonly asked questions on narcissistic abuse and sibling relationships.

What We're Talking About:
- Who is the "narcissistic parent"?
- Why do they damage sibling relationships?
- How are sibling relationships ruined?

A Few More Resources
- How Narc Families Hide Abuse
- Spotting the Narc Parent
- The Gray Rock Method

Toxic positivity and pseudospiritual self-help advice is more rampant than ever. You can hardly throw a stone without hitting a new "life coach" or influencer guru who promises to hold all the keys to your happiness. But all their knowledge rarely leads anywhere but confusion and resentment. Why? 

It's important that you learn how to spot this bad advice, these toxic coaches, and protect yourselves from them. They are teaching people not how to love themselves, but how to be insecure and self-loathing; how to settle for abuse and dimishment in their day-to-day relationships. Don't let them drag you under too.  

What We're Talking About: 

• What is toxic positivity? 
• How does it affect us? 
• How can we spot toxic positivity and toxic coaches?

Believe it or not, there's a reason why I spend all day talking about childhood trauma and narcissistic  families. Healing ourselves is actually an act of bold revolution. Yep. You heard that right. How can we possibly change the world when we can't even change ourselves? We can't. For our society to reach the next plateau, we have to change from the inside out.

The truth is that when we improve ourselves and our lives, we break cycles and we change the immediate world around us. As more and more of us wake up and see our pain for what it really is, we are inclined to heal - and when we heal, we free the world.
