So, welcome back! Grab a cup of coffee or maybe some Xanax (we don't judge here) and have a listen!

It's a nightmare learning to trust again after being in a narcissistic relationship. It's worse if you've had multiple narcissistic relationships. This week Jill talks about trust and learning to trust. And, how to get past this stuff. She gives six-core insights about the process of recovering from narcissistic abuse. And, this week's idea for feeling better takes us out of our own heads and into the realm of kindness. Which, sounds way more woo-woo than it actually is! Have a listen!

When you think about narcissists you probably think of those out-there “LOOK AT ME!!!” People we all roll our eyes at. But, meanwhile, covert narcissists are lurking in the dark. Covert narcissists are introverts. But, if you’re an introvert, are you a narcissist? Let’s untangle that together!

Jill also gives three quick useful tips on feeling better RIGHT NOW!

Have you ever wondered why it was so super hard to end a relationship with a narcissist? Have you ever asked yourself “Why can’t I just walk away?” Or, had a friend in a relationship that looked AWFUL and said “why doesn’t he or she just leave him or her?” Find yourself checking their social media every 5 minutes? Only to feel worse? The short answer to all of these questions is “Trauma Bonding.” We take a look at how they do it, what happens to us chemically, and how we can tell if we are in one of these relationships. Plus, we look at what the “Gray Rock” method is (in dealing with unpleasant or manipulative people) and how to do it.

And, we look at being the parent to our inner-child as a way to reverse some of those.

Just what IS the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath? What's the one give away that you’re about to enter a relationship with a sociopath? What is the method to their (literal) madness? And...how can you protect yourself? Come find out!

The tool this week is plucked from the old Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tool box and is a guided exercise/meditation in the acceptance of feelings. (Don’t do this while you’re driving!).
