This is just what I needed for support after leaving a 28 year relationship with a covert narcissist.

Amazing talk Lisa. I am getting such helpful information that is helping me sort through this relationship. Thank you👀🙏❤️

Whew... you keep hitting the nail on the head. I'm not sure there is any hope for me at 66 and still raising (grand) children. Now it's they that are my abusers, instead of my parents, siblings or husband(s). I pray I find the magic pill one day soon.

All this information is so very true and all very helpful. Thank you.

That's was a really great one Lisa. I have paid $500 for your course one year ago. I still haven't taken it. I'm so busy (or hiding. ) Anyway, that is the only reason I'm not leaving a big domain here. You have helped me so much.

Thank you for this. You are spot on. I’ve been going through a very difficult marriage with a narc and we are currently at a point in our relationship where we’re deciding whether to keep trying or go our separate ways. I’m the one who suggested divorce so he is being very nice and agreeable at the moment. It always messes with my head and makes me second-guess if things really were that bad. This is far from the first time being in this situation and I do have lots of memories and evidence of the reality but it is just so hard to finally make that decision with two little kids and no job. It’s very scary! But deep down I know I’ll never be at peace until I finally break away.

I needed this so badly . I’m in a relationship with a guy that I thought had good intentions, we’ve been seeing each other almost a year. He just physically assaulted me today, he knows I’ve been a victim of domestic abuse before and have had a lot of trauma. You don’t know how much I needed to hear this right now.
thank u for the work ur doing.

As a co dependent...that blew my mind. It was inspiring.

Thank you so much! It was like you were talking about me. After listening to this I am feeling more grateful for my healing learning journey and for where I am now.

So informative, Lisa. Thank you!

Spot on insights if you have a history of attracting a narcissist significant other…

Lisa goes straight to the point. Very good!

Oh Lisa, thank God for you. I've listened to SO many of your talks & meditations. My God how you have helped me!! There aren't enough words of gratitude to give. May you forever be blessed.

So good to finally understand what was going on, why it didnt work out. Thank you Lisa. 🥰❤️🌹

So painful even though I know I’ve tried everything and deserve better. I’m really looking at attachment vs love. Are codependents and narcissists capable of being in love?

💔😔. I want to be healthy and strong. Truly working on my inner child and the courage to heal childhood molestation trauma. He feels threatened by my dedication to healing and the time I’m taking away from him. Because I’m Learning to have boundaries and to say no. I now challenge his manipulation and control and you can imagine how that’s going.

I’m learning in my relationships with others to respond versus reacting. That has been very good and a growing experience. Not perfect but a work in progress. I am learning to hold a mirror up to myself and see things from different perspectives now whereas I never could before. Because I’ve been a victim all my life and finally understanding what that means.

I want to grow up emotionally mentally and spiritually. A big part of my immaturity and fear is that it could take my whole life to heal. That’s very overwhelming at times.

I’m so blessed to have a brother who was raised in the same household with a codependent mom and a narcissistic father. He’s done many years of work on himself and never gave up on helping me to wake up.

Now we’re traveling on the same path not easy but so worth it. I’m not crazy I’m not the only one who suffers this pain and humiliation or than negative self image and talk. If only we could all love ourselves at the time of birth. What a different world it would be.

Thank you Lisa. Blessings for a brighter and healthier New Year.

Namasté 🙏🏼♥️🤗
