Hey, Survivor!
In today's show, I breakdown 3 triangulation tactics of a narcissistic parent. This manipulative tactic is very damaging. And it, among other toxic behaviors, undermines what could otherwise be healthy relationships.
You may have missed this tactic when you were growing up. However, it's one of the narcissist's go-to's. And children suffer most, when the narcissist behaves this way.
If you, or someone you know, have experienced the relational strangulation that accompanies narcissistic triangulation, this episode is for you.
Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are.

Hey, Survivor!
In today's show, I share 6 tips to more effectively engage with the narcissist's other supply. While engaging with other sources of supply is often discouraged, you may choose to do it anyway. And, if you're going to do it, you should have some tools, so you can be successful.
There are many different types of narcissistic relationships; and no two are the same. If you can safely and successfully engage with other sources of supply, then be prepared.
If you, or someone you know, have already decided to engage with the narcissist's other supply, this episode is for you.
Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are.

Hey, Survivor!
In today's show, I share 4 things you can do right now to side-step the narcissist's smear campaign. I know how messy a narcissistic smear campaign can be. I've experienced this directly and indirectly from a narcissistic parent and from a covert malignant female narcissist. The smear campaign is a control tactic and it will reveal who your real friends and supporters are. So, take notes! And remember, the narcissist will act out based on the trauma that they have been through. So, distancing yourself from their toxic behavior can help you to avoid the chaos and drama that's fueled by deeply-rooted issues that are best handled by someone other than yourself.
If you, or someone you know, needs help navigating this type of narcissistic behavior, this episode is for you.
Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are.

Hey, Survivor!
In today's show, I give 3 reasons to stop suffering in silence, after narcissistic abuse. I know how shameful and painful it can be to fall for the lies and manipulations of the narcissist. I fell for future-faking, got conned, and have been scammed by narcissistic and toxic people, over a long period of time. As a result, I struggled with toxic shame. However, I decided to use my trauma to help others. When we normalize talking about trauma, more healing can happen.
If you, or someone you know, need encouragement to share their story and talk about what has happened to them, this episode is for you.
Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are.
