This is the Terry Cole show and as you might have guessed I'm your host Terry Cole

for over two decades I've been a licensed psychotherapist, love and boundaries expert,

and I'm also the founder of the Real Love Revolution and Boundary Boot Camp.

On this show, I'll bring you simple strategies based on practical psychology, inspiring expert interviews, and my own insights and observations from my time on the front lines in the fascinating world of entertainment, empowerment, and mental health. Now let's get going with

today's episode.

Well hello and welcome to this week's episode of the Terry Cole Show.

Thank you so much for hanging out with me. I'm so excited that you hear.

So I got an email from someone that made me laugh a little bit so I decided to call this episode how to avoid getting into relationships with narcissists and psychos.

So I know that's very long, it's not that catchy,

but that's literally what this woman wrote in.

Can you give me one thing that I can do

to be rest assured that I will not get into another relationship with a narcissist or a psychopath.

Well, that is a really tall order that bar is very high.

I don't know that I can do that but I did come up with what I

thought would be helpful so this is for you. So it has to do with personal

boundaries which you know I love to talk about but in all of our relationships right our

personal boundaries how healthy they are really do dictate how healthy our relationships are. So this has everything to do with

this person's question. So let's talk about what is it that we need to know

to avoid getting into relationships and really for so

many people being trapped if you've ever been in a relationship with a narcissist then you

know what a terrifying experience it is and how incredibly difficult it is if you get sucked back in to actually get out of that relationship.

And with someone who is unhealthy, even if they're more of a psycho and less of anark it doesn't matter either way it's an unhealthy situation to be in.
