I felt that I was welcomed into my ex-partner’s inner circle at the beginning of the relationship — he told me things he had never told another woman, he said. What he was really doing was cherry-picking the truth to manipulate me. In the love-bombing phase of any toxic relationship…

Reading this you might think I’m flippant, too quick to jump in, and I don’t really care about relationships. What if the exact opposite is true — that I have been raised to be too open, overly romantic, loyal, and overly forgiving to a fault? Many women have been socialized…

When we leave a narcissistic relationship, the emotional anguish of this kind of break-up is like no other. Why is that? One of the main reasons in my opinion is that we are unaware of the amount of emotional and physical regulation we have learned to process within our cells…

The 7 habits of truly non-narcissistic people There’s a lot of material on the internet about the nature of being a narcissist. It’s definitely time that we studied this information. We need to open our eyes to ancient beliefs, thought-forms, and mind installations that keep us stuck in place as we step forward bit by bit on…

This is the big shift that men will have to make to get past treating women like this...actually CONNECT with their emotions...feel them...and then discover WHY they feel that way...make the appropriate behavioral and paradigm shifts, and ultimately be happier in themselves! …
