Stories, Inspiration, and Tools to Help You Heal
Does your relationship (or your life) feel like a funhouse maze of mirrors? Do you constantly second-guess yourself, feel like you’re going crazy, or feel like nothing makes sense anymore? This is what it feels like to be in a narcissistic relationship. I know—because I’ve been there, and even though I’m a doctor, for 20 years I missed all the warning signs. Think of this blog as a roadmap through the twists and turns of narcissistic abuse—so you can make sense of what’s happening, break free from the confusion, heal the damage done, and become narcissist-proof moving forward. Remember: Despite what the narcissist led you to believe:
You’re not crazy—that shit really happened. It wasn’t your fault. And you’re not alone.
Important Note: If you’re in crisis or in need of immediate assistance, please reach out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-SAFE (7233).
