High level narcissists seek partnerships and marriages to empaths. These are individuals of high discernment, intuition and deep emotional and psychological sensitivity. They are unique in their capacities to identify with and feel deeply what someone else is experiencing. The empath responds to his/her environment in a profound manner. They react strongly to their inner and outer environments.  We discover a compelling attraction of the empath to the high level narcissistic personality. The sensitive empath discovers a compelling vibration of excietement in the high level who is so full of extraordinary self confidence and an incandescent charm. The high level narcissist is drawn to the good character, deep understanding and loyalty of the empath. Empaths are very generous and give so much of themselves to their partners. They overlook the narcissist's difficult temperament and demands and even put up with their vile projections behind closed doors. As time moves forward the empath becomes very exhausted and stressed by the constant demands and projections of the high level narcissist. The empath becomes very worn down with chronic insomnia, digestive disordres under constant stress in the sympathetic fight or flight mode. As years and months go forward the empath recognizes that she/he must separate out from the high level narcissist and evolve as an authentic self.  You now move forward with self care: sleep and rest, movement and exercise, nourishing food, good hydration, Nature, developing your spiritual practice as you understand it, developing your unique creativity.  Please click the link below to view and purchase my print book: Recovering and Healing After the Narcissist on Amazon.  https://tinyurl.com/2p92ymam   www.mhnrnetwork.com
