Sherry talks about her new move to Florida, and then she and Carla take a Love Fix question from a listener in a new relationship who is trying to break old patterns from having to deal with narcissists. They then welcome Nova Gibson, Founder and Principal Counselor at Brighter Outlook Narcissistic Abuse Counseling Service. Nova talks about her expertise and passion behind supporting victims and survivors of narcissistic abuse, how to begin the process of recovery, why a tribe is important as you begin to seek help, and why victims tend to get stuck in a cycle of going back to either the same or a new narcissist partner.
