Welcome to another episode of The Post-Narc Life Podcast. Today we are opening up The Vault to reveal another great episode from times past.

Today's episode is all about the Top 3 Mindset Changes that my clients experience as they do the work to heal from dealing with narcissists.

This is a great episode for building your foundation of healing while you go to create the incredible results you were meant to put on this earth.

Today you will learn:

Welcome to the LDS/Christian themed episode in our rotation! Today we are tackling the most important gospel concept: The Atonement of Jesus Christ.

Narcissists, even if they are believers, do not understand Atonement and use everyone else around them as their own personal Jesus to expiate their pain, suffering, and unmet emotional needs.

If you have been the scapegoat of someone else's emotional problems, while at the same time being taught at church that The Savior is the one who took upon Himself our pains and afflictions, you might be dealing with some confusion.

If the gospel for you was a set way of living that upheld a specific facade to keep others from judging you, this episode is for you.

The sacred gospel principle of Atonement has been distorted by the narcissists in your life and today we are correcting it.

May you find true peace and feel the love in the Gospel of Jesus Christ as you begin to see beyond the distortions.
