  • Once you get them out of your life, your high blood pressure goes down ! 😊
  • "AWARENESS turns into KNOWLEDGE which then turns into POWER". This is so real. The more you know the least they can get to you.
  • Never ever show a narcissist weakness when you’re down they will throw you under the bus
  • @maggiedivine4856
    I thought I was going crazy! He called me unstable and I had the impression I was losing my mind. That gaslighting, lies, reverse psychology was a level of evil that I never expected.
  • @wifferstess2824
    You finally start having a sense of normalcy and feel your own energy returning.
  • @catalinaamzi
    My heart goes out to all of the narc victims that didn’t have a platform like YouTube/Internet ❤️ I can’t imagine….
  • @Niles-Guy
    Before you decide to no longer play the narcissist game, make sure you have an exit strategy in place because narcissist injury is a real thing . They will plot your downfall and come after you when you are most vulnerable or unprepared.

    Sadly, the narcissist won't leave you in peace, they'll leave you in pieces.

    Zero contact is the only way to reclaim your joy. Raised by a narcissistic mother, I attempted a reunion after thirteen years and was shocked at how immediate the fall into the old, abusive behaviours was. Back to zero contact, and this time I am guilt-free. You are ALWAYS better off alone.
  • @LIVdaBrand
    When you are doing well and are shining despite them, they HATE that lol.
  • "Awareness turns into knowledge, then knowledge becomes power" I like this a lot.
  • They are always right and project their insecurities onto others. Don’t walk, run!
  • @Marina-rc7px
    There needs to be a Narcissist Awareness Month 🚨
  • @Hugging_Cactus
    ‘why do i need to defend (myself) for being a good person’ We Don’t.
  • @ritasmoot1823
    When I left my husband of sixteen years.... I felt EMPOWERED and FREE. I learned MY WORTH!!
  • @dvawva5197
    I weep for the people who have passed away never knowing what they were dealing with. Much appreciation Doc!! ...and Little Laura. 😊
  • @jodycasey6936
    Do you know what happens when you no longer play into a narcissist’s games, all while you begin to take accountability for your own self? You get your life back! Great way to start my week Dr. C! Thanks for this.
  • @jojo3389
    The “block this caller” feature works really well for this!
  • 1. Emotional detachment. 2. Rearrange your anger style. 3. Rearrange your defensive posturing. 4. Reinforce your belief in your inherent decency. 5. Find your place of steadiness & Peace.
  • My attitude now “You don’t like me? Give me a moment to get over the tragedy”. As Dr. C says- we don’t loose anything by letting go of a narcissist, we actually add to our lives by way of peace! I say this from personal experience having been married to one.
