How to Stay Healthy in a Relationship with a Narcissist - Loving a Narcissist Series #3

If you are in a relationship with a narcissist, all of the conventional advice you are likely to get is to figure out how to get OUT of the relationship.

That is so much easier said than done. And that advice is not for everyone. There are plenty of valid reasons why people choose to stay in a relationship with a narcissist.

In this episode, I provide some hope for health in your life even if you choose to stay. You may be staying because you are trauma bonded, another topic for another day. You may be staying because you feel it's your ethical and moral obligation, you want to keep your family intact, you may be staying for now because you don't feel it's even feasible to leave financially. You may be staying because you are terrified of leaving. All of your reasons are valid and it's okay.

In this episode, I address:

1. Why some people choose to stay

2. How to respond to the manipulation tactics in a way that doesn’t keep you engaged.

2. The real effects on your body (and psyche) of staying.

3. How to counteract the negative effects and stay healthy when you’re in a relationship with a narcissist.

Loving A Narcissist Series #2 - The Five Types Of Narcissism And How They Show Up In Relationships

Often, when we think of narcissism, we think of a guy who is arrogant, seeks admiration, talks and thinks of only himself and lacks empathy or care.

This is a classic view that causes many women to overlook what's going on in their relationships, so I wanted to identify the 5 types of narcissism that might be happening so that you don't feel crazy if someone in your relationship doesn't quite fit the classic idea, but you know something's going on.

In this episode, I expand on the five ways that narcissism can be exhibited are:

1. Overt
2. covert
3. antagonistic
4. communal
5. malignant.

And I explain how those behaviors show up in relationships.
