Summary

Navigating a toxic relationship with a narcissist is incredibly difficult and it’s easy to start drinking as a coping mechanism to escape.   You may have a partner who is a narcissist, have grown up with a narcissistic mother or father, or navigating co-parenting your children with a narcissistic ex.  And if you’re in a relationship with a narcissist and you’re drinking a lot, they will use your drinking as a tool to further confuse and gaslight you, or blame you for situations where they need to take responsibility and make changes. Quitting drinking is a powerful way to get clarity and take more control in a relationship with a narcissist, whether it’s a parent, sibling, partner or ex.  I asked Heather Kent, a registered psychotherapist and trauma recovery specialist with an expertise in PTSD, Narcissism, Narcissistic abuse, Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) and Trauma Recovery to share how she helps women through the process of ending abusive and toxic relationships, and re-building their lives after they have left.

But it wasn't that long ago that I was anxious, overwhelmed, and drinking a bottle

of wine a night to unwind. I thought that wine was the glue, holding my life together,

helping me cope with my kids, my stressful job, and my busy life. I didn't realize that my love

affair with drinking was making me more anxious and less able to manage

my responsibilities. In this podcast, my goal is to teach you the tried and true secrets of creating
