Summary

It can feel familiar to be in a relationship with a narcissist and we sometimes need reminding that a relationship with a narcissist is an unsafe relationship. So in this episode, I will discuss the three common stages of healing after leaving a narcissist. From noticing that you are in a narcissistic relationship to having post-traumatic growth, I want to help you live a safe and comfortable life again.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

How to notice that you’re in an unsafe relationship
Deciding when to leave a narcissistic relationship
How to live a post-narcissistic life
Why we may feel comfortable with a narcissist and how to break that pattern
How to approach a normal relationship and why it may feel strange

We will typically end up with narcissists because we’ve been in unhealthy relationships previously, so after breaking up with a narcissist we need to learn how to function in a healthy relationship. The 3 stages of healing that I share in this episode will help you feel comfortable in a “normal” relationship and will hopefully help you lead a better and more fulfilling life.
