Just had this question from a member of the community, Natalija Utteridge so I decided to get her on the hot seat to respond. Here's her question:
"Looking for support, how do you communicate with someone who seems to be triggered by everything you say? I’m having trouble with an in law that gets offended by so many things I say, to the point of someone else can say the exact same thing, but it doesn’t bother her until I say it. Then she shuts down and ‘needs time and space’ to lick her wounds. It can be surprising to me the things she gets upset about. I realise it’s about her and has very little to do with me, but I kind of feel a bit suffocated now when I’m around her like speaking truthfully and with my authentic voice causes her harm. I also know her feelings aren’t my responsibility but would like to have a better relationship with her down the track. I don’t want to make judgements but my hubby and I have been observing quite a few narcissistic tendencies in her. How do you talk to a narcissist?"

Without any warning, she said yes, she'll be a sport and we try to tackle this one on a facebook live.
Many thanks for her vulnerable share and willingness to be put on the spot and allow me to use this as a teaching moment.
This conversation is not about blame. It's about healing-- which is entirely different than what's being marketed out there by many.
