Replying to @Stefanie You’re going to turn 50 either way. The question is: what do you want your life to look like when you get there? If you feel called to work with survivors of abuse, trauma, coercive control, or toxic relationships, you have options. You can pursue the degree, licensur

A few days ago, I was texting one of my closest friends who just started her graduate program in counseling. She’s already incredibly well-versed in the narcissistic abuse community, coercive control, and psychological abuse because she’s been through it, spent years learning about it on her own, s

Yes, we are ALL dating the same guy. we all have been dating the same guy and we are not alone. These stories all feel same for a reason. These stories all look the same for a reason. These stories all seem the same for a reason. That’s because these stories are all the same no matter how you spi

If you’re going on “are we dating the same guy” and the guy has stories, pay attention. It doesn’t matter if all of the stories align or if it all makes sense. It never will. Trust the women who are reporting; believe us. #arewedatingthesameguy #narcissist #narcissism #bpd #npd

It doesn’t matter what sort of relationship you were making look good on social media. It only matters that you were making it look good. It wasn’t good. But you felt like you had to live up to the societal standard. You don’t have to anymore. Stop pretending. never feel like you need to play this

Replying to @itstartswith1 I made the original video to be a mouthpiece for the women who have never had a safe place to tell these stories. And the comments made one thing very clear: there are A LOT of them. Labor is one of the most vulnerable moments of a woman’s life. You shouldn’t also h

Here are the tales of the narcissist in the delivery room. If you haven’t had a baby with one, run while you can. If you have, comment your experience below. Let’s help people escape this life ahead of time. #laboranddelivery #narcissist #narcissisticabuse #narcissisticparent #narcissism

I’d love to know what your labor was like with a narcissistic partner. Let’s spread some awareness about what they can be like in the delivery room. Please share your stories if you feel comfortable. #laboranddelivery #narcissist #narcissisticabuse #narcissisticparent

Replying to @Hope Ferdabest Some people are so evolved being on the receiving end of these apologies that they understand what this manipulation is. They have been through it with a covert narcissist, and they understand they’re lying because they’ve seen and accepted it. Some people haven’t gotten

Replying to @Steven Protect yourself from the people who say they are going to change and don’t. Watch; be the observer. Just because someone can paint a pretty picture for you doesn’t mean they won’t repaint over it with their true colors. It shouldn’t be your job to make the distinction, but they

Here is why your children are lying to you; brace yourselves because you might need to do some self-reflecting, and you might also dislike me after listening to this. I love you still. #lying #parentingtips #HealingJourney #toxicparenting #toxicfamily

Sometimes the hardest part of healing is realizing you don’t know who you are without pain. There was I time I thought I was learning to love myself again, and then I realized something: I wasn’t learning to love myself again; I was learning to truly love myself for the first time. For a lif

Relationships should move at the pace they should move at; it’s as simple as that. We should be honoring ourselves, the energy, and the connection that we feel with people as individuals. There is no rule book that can be moved from one situation to the next because all connections are different.

Replying to @rosypetal an explanation about manipulation. Sometimes people are manipulating without meaning to. It’s a learned and normalized behavior in some scenarios. We are all human; we all do it. Manipulation doesn’t always mean someone is a monster. #manipulation #apologies #forgiveness

Relationships take work, but not the kind of work that one person in the partnership keeps creating. #narctok #narcissist #manipulation #relationshippsychology #fyp

A lot of people who wind up in toxic relationships don’t realize that their partner seems so familiar because they grew up with a version of them in their very own household. Sometimes a soulmate isn’t truly a soulmate. Sometimes we call toxicity love because we always have. Life may be more painfu

There is room for EVERYONE at the top, and not recognizing that is what has caused such a divide. I’m a huge believer in a ripple effect, which is why I hope to create what others may see as “small change” by working with a client or a few clients at a time. Helping one person to adopt and embody a
