In this episode, we're discussing the Law of Polarity and how this pertains to the narcissistic abuse/codependency dynamic. Many women reach out to me and ask "am I the narcissist"?
We all have some narcissism, however, codependent traits can look similar to narcissistic behavior traits.
Disclaimer: I am not saying the two are the same in that intent is everything. One side has the intent to have control and have power over, the other side oftentimes has the desire to feel safe, in control (to feel safe).
This episode is piggybacking off of ep 209 where I talk about when you bring up the issues in the relationship to him and he says you need to change too.
In this episode, we are talking about what work it is you do need to be doing, and how to respond to this when he says this to you.

I have zero tolerance for social media bullies, and others attacking those who have a different viewpoint.
Warning: There are some F words in this episode so listen with headphones if little ears are around!

When you bring your desired changes to your partner and he tells you that YOU are also abusive and that you need to change too, how do you respond?
Those well-meaning people and counsellors that tell you "it takes 2 giving 50/50 to make it work" are not understanding the full picture.
Tune in to learn how you can respond to your partner when he says "you need to change too" and why the popular advice that relationships require 50-50 is not true.

Boundaries won’t work without accountability and consequences when they are broken. If you don’t follow through with the consequence it’s a request or preference, not a boundary.

Intense feelings of guilt are a common experience for women who are in a narcissistic relationship. Whether still in the relationship, or exiting the guilt can cripple you, if you let it.
The grieving process begins the moment you awaken to the truth about the abuse you've been experiencing, and often continues long after you've left. In this episode I am talking about why this is the case, and how you can help yourself so that it doesn't consume you and take over your life and ability to function.
