Hey, Survivor!

I know how hard it is to disconnect from narcissistic and toxic relationships.  In today's show, I’m sharing 5 ways to disconnect from this dysfunction.  This isn’t about punishing anyone.  It’s about creating space for you to begin a long-lasting journey of healing.     

As tempting as it is to state your position loudly and proudly, I cannot emphasize enough the importance of moving in silence.  Anything you say can and will be used by the narcissist to manipulate you.  And going back and forth with a narcissist is stressful and draining.  So, go for a drama-free exit, and turn your time, energy, attention, money towards your health and wellbeing.      

If you, or someone you know, needs tips for disconnecting from a narcissist, this episode is for you.    

Know who you're dealing with.  Know who you are.

Hey, Survivor!

The struggle is REAL, when it comes to dealing with narcissistic or toxic relationships.  In today's show, I’m sharing 10 healing tips to add to your toolbox.  One size does not fit all.  Healing is a journey that’s as unique as you are.

Hey, Survivor!

In today's show, I’m sharing 3 tips for handling and accepting the death of a narcissist close to you.  When the narcissistic or toxic individual in your life is gone for good, it takes a toll on your physical, emotional, and mental health.  Clean-up is messy.  But you don’t have to do everything yourself, or white-knuckle it.       

You can tap into the healing power of a community - even if you don’t associate with them on a regular basis or consider them “your people.”  Under the circumstances, people are more willing to accommodate you than you think.  The narcissist may be all over the place; but you can pull it together with the help of others.      

If you, or someone you know, have experienced the death of a narcissist close to you, this episode is for you.  

Know who you're dealing with.  Know who you are.

Hey, Survivor!

In today's show, I’m sharing 4 tips for handling and accepting the death of a narcissist close to you.  It’s easy to get caught in fight, flight, or freeze mode OR stuck ruminating over your toxic relationship.  When this happens, you can lose sight of the fact that both the narcissistic relationship and the narcissist have expiration dates.    

So many emotions come up, when the narcissist in your life dies.  And you may feel pressure, internally and externally, to get over it and move on.  That’s not healthy for you, nor does it help others.    

If you, or someone you know, have experienced the death of a narcissist close to you, this episode is for you.  

Know who you're dealing with.  Know who you are.

Hey, Survivor!

In today's show, I’m providing 4 things for you to consider, if you're questioning, "Am I the narcissist?"  Narcissism is a spectrum, and we're all on it together.  Ideally, like many things in life, you want to avoid the extremes of selfishness or selflessness.  Somewhere in the middle is just right.     

Highly narcissistic individuals aren't in their bodies, lack self-awareness, and use other people to meet their basic needs.  And they're unable to sustain healthy relationships, although they may fake it in the short term.  

If you, or someone you know, have questioned whether or not you're the narcissist in your toxic relationship, this episode is for you.

Know who you're dealing with.  Know who you are.

Hey, Survivor!

In today's show, I’m highlighting 3 key ingredients in narcissistic word salad.  Word salad is a specialty that the narcissist serves up to their targets; and it is not made with love.  It comes from a place of fear.  Simply put, it’s not healthy.    

Narcissistic and toxic individuals use word salad to manipulate and exert control over situations, narratives, and other people.  It’s confusing, draining, and used to protect their fragile ego when they feel threatened.  And these “threats” could be real or perceived, past or present.  

If you, or someone you know, have experienced narcissistic word salad, this episode is for you.  

Know who you're dealing with.  Know who you are.

Hey, Survivor!

In today's show, I share 4 ways to support another narcissistic abuse survivor, who may not have listened when you tried to warn them about their toxic relationship.  Oftentimes, you can see someone else's situation more clearly than you can see your own.  

Narcissists use charm, mirroring, lies, future-faking, and trauma bonding to draw you in, trick you into falling in love with yourself, and keep you stuck in an abusive relationship, so they can get their needs met.  If you know, you know.  And sometimes, these relationships can last for years, leaving you drained mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and financially.  The last thing that you need is for someone to say, "I told you so!"  You need support from people who love you unconditionally, and who get it.

If you, or someone you know, are trying to help another survivor who has just realized they've been dealing with a narcissist, this episode is for you.  

Know who you're dealing with.  Know who you are.

Hey, Survivor!

In today's show, I provide 3 steps to overcoming narcissistic triangulation with your siblings.  Narcissistic parents, who pit their children against one another, create unhealthy relationship dynamics and can set future generations up for failure.  

At the root of it all, narcissistic and toxic individuals triangulate in order to boost their own egos and mask their deeply-rooted insecurities.  Some may even get a sick sense of satisfaction from creating a competitive environment among their children, without doing the deeper work of nurturing them as individuals and encouraging healthy connections and camaraderie among their offspring.  

If you, or someone you know, have experienced relationship rifts among siblings, due to narcissistic triangulation, this episode is for you.  

Know who you're dealing with.  Know who you are.
