As a psychotherapist, Vanessa has extensive experience with narcissism based on her own encounter with a narcissist in her personal life and so she offers not just the clinical perspective, but an extreme and very exclusive story of abuse.  She has developed a coaching program based on her own experience and what helped her to recover from her psychological trauma after fleeing from her narcissist in the middle of the night. Her practice works to educate you on narcissism and what/who you are actually dealing with; Narcissism is categorized as a personality disorder by the mental health profession and is referred to as NPD or Narcissistic Personality Disorder, but it is FAR bigger than what is stated clinically in the DSM-V and few people are diagnosed because few people go to therapy. Vanessa ran across the state of New York in a wedding dress to raise awareness about narcissistic abuse. In this episode, she shares her unique perspective on narcissism and cults, the brain damage caused by narcissistic abuse & trauma and actionable tips for survivors.

Since this episode is a New Year's Day

This episode unpacks a concept called mirroring. This has been studied by psychologists for years and can be used to create connection between people. BUT...when narcissists implement this craft, it's dangerous and incredibly manipulative. Narcissists lack a true identity, so they study you: your mannerisms, what you like to eat, your likes and dislikes, where you like to go, your interests, your hobbies, your dreams, ambitions. This is so they can create a desirable image for their target. They tend to do this in the idealization phase when they are love bombing you, showering you with attention. This is to create a false sense of intimacy and closeness with their targets. Maybe it's even making you feel like they're your "soul mate." If it feels too good to be true...it might be. None of the narcissist's behavior is authentic and why it's so dangerous. They are looking to gain control of the target and fuel their ego. It can create a toxic cycle in the relationship if it goes on long enough and creates confusion for the target when the narcissist begins the devaluation phase. Mirroring tends to happen most in the idealization phase and this is part of the narcissistic mask. They will string you along with this vision until they have you hooked and for as long as they can until the mask starts to slip. Healthy relationships tend to have some things in common and some differences. Listen through to the end to hear how you can increase your NarcDAR™️: How to Recognize, Respond & Repel narcissists. This will help you become more aware and how to best navigate if you believe you might be dealing with a narcissist or if you have or are experiencing mirroring.

Steve Pemberton shares his raw and vulnerable story of a childhood of growing up without parents. Shuffled through the foster care system, he was the 3rd generation to be orphaned in his family. He decided that he needed to end the cycle for himself, his children and future generations. His desire to accomplish this was further fueled when his oldest child asked about his childhood. This was the catalyst to writing his first book, A Chance In The World. Steve intended to write this book solely for his own children, never imagining that it would become a bestseller and later be made into a motion picture. Through this journey, he developed The Lighthouse Effect, also the name of the 2nd book. Steve dives into this concept and how this applies to people in life.

Some other key highlights are pulling out some terminology that's used by the author that we haven't covered here before, such as having a constant, cognitive dissonance, word salad, flying monkeys and the crazy ex! What's great about this book is that it focuses a lot on becoming whole again through trauma recovery and healing after encountering these dangerous personalities. While it may be tempting to reach out to the new supply, think about putting yourself in the idealization phase and thinking you've met the love of our life, would you be receptive to believing it? Keep in mind, there's no timeline for grief or recovering from this type of abuse. The author also highlights the 30 signs of strength. A few of these are having compassion, taking accountability, apologizing, and being forgiving. Part of the healing process includes cognitive defusion. This means acknowledging your emotions and not dismissing the difficulties in life. This allows you to choose to move towards living more consistently in joy, peace and enlightenment.

You can't change the people around you, but you can change the people around you. Read that again! It's important to keep in mind that you can't change people's behaviors or actions. You can only change your own. But you can change the people in your community. You're only as good as the company you keep. Narcissists will often discard people that they can't control or are no longer giving them the supply they want. The motivation behind this is different than a healthy person -- it's usually to find peace or to protect yourself when making a decision to no longer engage with someone that is bringing toxicity to your life. If you are working to remove narcissists or other dangerous personalities from your life, you may want to consider utilizing the grey rock method. Tune into Season 1, Episode 18 for more on this. When you change, grow and evolve, sometimes the people around you are uncomfortable with your growth as it highlights that they may not be growing. They may be used to an older version of you and might not like this. When you remove negative and toxic energy from your life, it creates space to invest in the healthy and meaningful relationships in your life to flourish. These relationships become deeper and you also naturally welcome into your life more warm, loving & authentic people into your community as well. You can always come back to paying attention to your emotional bank account and notice how interactions leave you feeling.

This tip came from needing the reminder herself after last week's ROR (React, Observe, Respond) episode as well as the topic of being busy in last week's newsletter. Mercury is in retrograde AND it's a solar eclipse -- maybe that's why strange things have been happening?!

In this episode, Ginny opens up about a recent experience on reacting and shifting that to responding. A big part of that is the observation component. On a Peloton ride, the concept of ROR developed - React, Observe, Respond. The shift in the process from recognizing and observing the reaction and moving to a response that brought peace was profound. A response is an observed reaction. How can you incorporate this into your life? Connect with Ginny: WEBSITE INSTAGRAM FACEBOOK --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ginny-priem/message

Reesa Teesa has been EVERYWHERE. In case you haven't heard, she shares her "Who TF Did I Marry" story over a series of 52 TikToks. To say it went viral would be an understatement. Her followers doubled day over day and since then, she's been on Good Morning America, The Tamron Hall Show and many others. In this episode, we unpack many tactics of dangerous personalities, like narcissists, psychopaths and sociopaths: DARVO, gaslighting, love bombing, the idealization phase, mirroring, pathological lying, entitlement, smear campaign, creating confusion, discarding, control, manipulation and more. On the flip side, Reesa Teesa expressed and exhibited many signs and symptoms of being a victim/target of a dangerous personality, such as: going no contact, self-preservation, trauma, CPTSD, being confused, humiliation, embarrassment, shame, stigma, anger, and ultimately sharing her authentic story in hopes to help people. There are many similarities to Ginny's story she shares in her bestselling book, You're My Favorite, about her experience and what she endured with "Chad". There's even a dadism in this episode.
