We're Talking About:
I'm frequently asked by survivors if instead of going no contact, they should try and understand the hows and whys the narcissist in their life became that way... and if they should stick around to give the narcissist the love, compassion, and patience they seem to lack in their lives.

What We're Talking About
I decided to add a new a segment titled, “Myth Busting" because there's an overwhelming amount of false information about narcissistic abuse... causing unnecessary grief to survivors who need solid information to help support their healing.
The myth we will be busting today is: Narcissists Do Not Have Empathy

It’s mind-boggling, to say the least. I was so sure the narc was “with me” 100%, but he clearly wasn’t. Breakups between two healthy people usually have a “recovery” period regardless of how the split took place. However, narcs are not capable of emotionally bonding like we do… so there was nothing for them to recover from.
We’re Discussing:
How narcissists are able to move on so quickly after the breakup of even a serious, long term relationship
What it means to be loved by a narcissist
What it means when the narcissist flaunts your “replacement.”
And more…
