Live Your True Life Perspectives with Ashley Berges

Love bombing and real love are two completely different things. The scariest part of being love bombed is that most of us don't know we're being love bombed. On this episode of the podcast, I'll address what is love bombing, the phases of love bombing, the signs and symptoms of being a victim of love bombing, the relationship patterns of a love bomber, and why we fall into the trap of believing this is true love and a perfect relationship. In the beginning, of a relationship that begins with love bombing, we believe we have found the ultimate relationship. We get caught up in the whirlwind of the “romance,” believing we have found the love that is only seen in romantic films. I want to help you to identify love bombing before you get extremely hurt mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Listen through to the end of this podcast episode to properly educate and self-guard yourself from emotional pain and suffering.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/live-your-true-life-perspectives-with-ashley-berges--1272964/support.

When we are raised in an environment with a parent who has the signs and symptoms of BPD, we do not realize the impact that it has on our daily lives. As children, we often had no idea what was going on with mom or dad. One minute everything seemed great and the next minute it felt as though we were living amid an emotional roller coaster.  It was always confusing, wondering which version of them we would get on any particular day. As children, this is a very difficult situation to live with, no one explained to us what was going on. In the process, it felt like we had lost our childhood to their emotions, constantly trying to change into what we thought they wanted us to be. On today's show, I am going to talk about what it is like to be raised by a parent who has signs and symptoms of BPD. What it is like to deal with this as an adult. What does it do to us, how does it affect us, and our choices based on these situations?  

Many of us feel let down by others. Being let down seems to happen more than not in today's society.  They tell us they are going to do something and they don't. What do we do about this? How do we handle it? How do we move on? On Today's show, we are going to take a deep dive as to why we are let down, understand the process that takes place, and enable us to look at our own lives. This will allow us to figure out why this happens to us and what we can do to move on.

On today's show, I am talking about adjacent stress. Adjacent stress is the stress that others have and its impact on your life. It is other people's stress and because of our relationship with them, it affects our lives. This stress can come from our spouse, our children, parents, best friend, family, and other friendships. Some people do not feel this stress, while others are highly impacted by it. If you are dealing with someone's adjacent stress, this is the podcast for you. We need to understand adjacent stress and how to deal with it. It is great to care, but it can be difficult when we are dealing with our stress and taking on adjacent stress as well.

Stress, stress, and more stress! Many of us are under an immense amount of stress every day. This stress can come from our career, our home life, lifestyle, situations, family, relationships, regrets, and the state of the world. When we think of stress, how do we define it and how do we deal with it? We need to take a look at the choices that we have made and choices that we have not made in our lives that have created havoc and stress for us. Join me today as I take a deep dive into stress, where it is coming from, and what we can do right now to make changes In our lives to offset some of our stress.

Today's show will discuss science and keeping our children up to date on the most innovative ways to obtain accurate information for them to learn. Joining me is Dr Penny Norman. Dr. Norman has a Ph.D. in Biophysics from UC Berkeley. Dr. Penny is dedicated not only to children but also to education. She has written more than 20 Science STEM books for elementary-aged children over the last 20 years. A number of these STEM books have sold millions of copies. These titles are based on years of work with children in the classroom and in after-school programs. She and her editor Ann Einstein have tested these materials and books over many years. Some projects work. Some do not. Some engage children. Others do not. It is only through years of “watching their faces” that activities have been sourced and selected.Her books and kits have received numerous awards, including Family Choice Award 2018 – GOLD MEDAL, Multiple Creative Child Magazine Awards, Scientific American's Young Reader's Book Awards, Good Morning American's Top Ten Children's Toys, multiple National Parenting Magazine Awards, The Parent's Choice Seal of Approval, PUZZLE of the YEAR from Games Magazine, and a Modern Library Award. See ScienceWiz.com for an almost complete list of her titles.

On Today's show, we will identify the people in our lives that we pay to be in our lives. Our doctors, lawyers, accountants, and therapists are just a few examples of the people we pay to be in our lives. We pay these people to help us in our lives. We need to identify who these people are and be confident that they have our best interests in mind, often we lose sight of this. We need to make sure that the people we are paying and giving power to in our lives are there for us and give us the best possible care, advice, and interest in our lives. We need to understand why we chose these people to help us, and what it is that causes us to stick with them when they may not be the best choice for us. We give them power and hope they do the right thing. We must find people that share some of our values.

Have you ever found yourself offering a suggestion, only to be quickly turned down? The feeling of being shut down can be very disheartening. Today I want to talk about a group of society that tends to gravitate toward individuals who think they know it all. However, the reality is that very few know it all. This same type of person also seems to gravitate toward others who are narcissistic in nature. The heart of the matter lies in the issue that they only take advice from supposed know-it-alls without wanting to consider input from anyone else. This behavior most likely comes from their upbringing and family dynamics. This behavior seems to work for these individuals because it is something they are accustomed to. What works for them is very frustrating to the rest of us who care about them. The frustration is evident when the responsibility of caring for these individuals falls on our shoulders, and they refuse to take advice from anyone outside of their chosen know-it-alls.

On today's show, I dive into the complicated relationship where one minute they love you and the next they don't. This leaves us never knowing what is going to happen next. The uncertainty that goes along with this type of relationship has an impact on our daily lives leaving us stressed, overwhelmed, and unable to focus. Often, we find ourselves losing our sense of self, fearing being left, having our partner get angry at us, or blaming us for everything wrong. There is a lack of responsibility on their part, expecting everyone else to be responsible but them. A big part of our journey is to recognize and realize what we are dealing with. We need to ask ourselves if this relationship is worth saving. Are we both doing the work necessary to have this relationship move forward? Also, do we deserve this type of person in our lives? We cannot let their behavior rub off on us, we need to set boundaries and make sure those boundaries are respected. Are we willing to walk on eggshells our whole life with them or are we ready to take a stand for our well-being?

As children, we all wanted to be the popular kid. We wanted everyone to like us. We wanted to be the kid chosen first for the team. However, no matter what we may have done there was always one or two kids who did not like us. What happens when we are adults and this desire to be liked by everyone continues in our lives? What about us causes us to want to be liked by everyone? On today's show, I am going to be talking about why we want to be liked so badly. I am going to examine the roots of our desire for popularity and how it shapes us as adults. Are you a people-pleaser, or can you be authentically yourself without needing outside validation? It is important to understand the difference between people-pleasing and being an authentic person. We need to take a deeper look into if our childhood is triggering us. Understanding why we do things, why we make certain choices, and why some things really impact us is key to our seeing who we are. We need to uncover the reasons why being liked by everyone still impacts our lives as adults.

What does it mean to be authentic? On today's show, we are going to be talking about authenticity. Authenticity is something we strive for in our lives. We must learn how to do this for ourselves and other people in our lives. The founder of Bridging Worlds Behavioral Service, creator of Heart-Centered Revolutions, and author of his latest book, Authenticity: The Immense Power to be Yourself, Adam Bulbulia joins us today. Adam is dedicated to showing us how being authentic is powerful and life-changing.You can find information about Adam Bulbulia by following the links below:[https://bridgingworldsbehavioralservices.com](https://bridgingworldsbehavioralservices.com/)https://www.amazon.com/Inspired-Authenticity-Power-Yourself-World/dp/B0B55D8M67[https://heartcenteredrevolutions.org](https://heartcenteredrevolutions.org/)https://www.instagram.com/heartcenteredrevolutions/https://www.facebook.com/heartcenteredrevolutions

How do you handle an argument that you never planned on having? Have you ever had someone start an argument with you when you did nothing to provoke them? On Today's show, we are going to take an in-depth look into arguments. Specifically, what happens when the argument comes out of the blue? We need to understand what needs to be done in these situations. To avoid being caught off guard when it occurs in the future and to enable us to react appropriately, we must learn how to retain the concept in memory.

Studies have shown that most drivers develop an emotional connection to their car. Some people even refer to their car as an old trustworthy friend. The emotional connection people feel towards their cars is interesting and can be pretty normal. Join Ashley today as she talks about the emotional attachment that we have to our vehicles and why is it so hard to let our cars go. Ashley helps us understand why we develop these connections and why it is so hard for us to say goodbye to our cars when the time comes.

I am speaking with emerging and upcoming author David Valovcin on Today's show. David is a Financial Services Technologist and has written his first book, “A Desk To Lean On.” David's inspiration to write the book comes from his daughter Grace. Going back to school affects both parents and children. “A Desk To Lean On” helps take the guesswork out of some of the unknown when it comes to attending a new school. Join David and Ashley as they discuss what it is like to go to school, start a new school, and the importance of a support system in an often overwhelming situation for children.Visit David's website: https://www.davidvalovcin.com

Many of us are familiar with the new term work wife or work husband. It appears many of our friends or co-workers have one. Perhaps even one of us has a work wife or husband. We may hear the terminology emotional affair where someone is confiding in someone outside of their marriage for emotional support. We may feel alone in our marriage even after being married for many years. The marriage may have become a roommate situation. Listen to today's show to learn more about marriage, the roommate situation, and having a work wife or work husband.#workwife #workhusband #roommatesituation #marriage #relationships #emotionalaffaireTo learn more about the roommate situation log into Ashley's YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@LifecoachAshleyBerges as well as watch the following videos on YouTube:https://youtu.be/fpHKBeOEu-4https://youtu.be/1ihtarkPLUchttps://youtu.be/kbjEVg0Sd2A

On today's show, we are going to be exploring spiritual bypassing. Many of us may be using this as a defense mechanism in our own lives. Spiritual bypassing is the tendency to use spiritual explanations to avoid complex psychological issues. Rather than working through difficult emotions or confronting our issues, we dismiss things that have happened and use spiritual explanations or toxic positivity. Often this is done to protect ourselves or create harmony with other people. Another way this is used is when people judge us, but they are hiding behind their life as a highly spiritual person. Listen in today to learn more about spiritual by-passing and identify who may be using it in your life.

On today's show, I discuss how our past and our experiences not only color our lives, but also color the way we see and interpret things that happened to us and happened to others around us.When it comes to giving helpful advice to someone in need, we must have some sort of understanding, knowledge, and experience to provide the correct advice. In today's show, I offer a simple example of a situation that can take place to anyone at any time. The reason why I offer this example about the grocery store, and the woman and the cart is to show how is a simple situation that you tell a friend, coworker, parent, or spouse can be observed, and discussed very differently. This particular example that I provide is extremely simple in nature. However, many of us are not asking advice from our friends and family about anything simple. The interesting part is that even a simple situation can be looked at differently by various people. When it comes to deep situations, like marital issues, possible divorce, parental alienation, and the list goes on, many people have a different take on it and offer advice that may or may not be the right advice to take. When it comes to the big issues in our lives, we want to be sure that if we are taking advice, we are taking the right advice for us to better our situation.We get advice from family and friends. Sometimes we ask for advice and other times it is just given to us. Throughout today's show, I'm giving you the information that you need to be able to understand both mentally and emotionally if this advice is helpful or harmful. Sometimes the advice is not advice at all. Sometimes instead of somebody giving you advice, they're actually judging you.We need to know where the advice is coming from and if it is advice we should be taking. It is important to keep in mind that the advice we receive is directly impacted by the person's life experiences or lack thereof. We must decide if the advice we are being given is advice that is going to help us or make us feel worse.

On today's show, we will be talking about your life. We are going to take a deep dive into what we really want in our life and how we are going to get it. Once we get the things we want, how do we then hold onto them? Many of us have that one thing that seems to always get in the way of us attaining what we want. Let's examine what is missing in our lives, what we love about our lives, and finally figure out how we can get exactly what we want in our life.

Many of us may be experiencing parental alienation right now. During a separation or divorce, our children have turned against us, and we are left to understand why this happened. It is a very painful experience that often blindsides us because our relationships with our children had always been close. Join me today as I speak with Will, a father currently experiencing parental alienation. We will be discussing how it feels, why it happens, and some possible steps we can take to try and turn it around.

Today Ashley speaks with two women who are making a significant difference in the lives of children. Children today need to have ways to work through stress, be more at peace, and be comfortable with who they are. Maleku's Gift, A story about consciousness and the power of your own breath, helps parents and children learn how to come together and do the necessary work to help children. Join Ashley and Children's Author, former child educator, and Doctor of Educational Psychology, Jill Reed, and Patricia Coester, Children's Book Illustrator, breathwork teacher, coach, and psychotherapist, as we discuss the book and how it is going to help parents empower our children.

As humans, we all face challenges. However, it's important to question whether these challenges truly deserve to be labeled as problems. To do this, we must first understand what defines a problem. It's crucial to analyze the situation and determine what actions we can take to make a positive change. When we define a situation as a problem we pigeonhole ourselves by seeing an issue that needs to take place that might be impossible to overcome.

Are you hyper-focused on a situation in your life? Perhaps it feels like all your energy is being consumed by this one issue. It can be difficult to navigate this kind of hyper-focus, as it often leads to neglecting other aspects of our lives and creating new problems. On today's show, I will offer some helpful advice for anyone facing this kind of situation. This advice will allow you to reach a conclusion and move forward in a positive direction.

Today on Live Your True Life Perspectives, Ashley talks with Life Transformation Coach, Illumination Guide, and children's author Julie D'Ann. Julie has recently released her new children's book titled, “Which Would You Choose?” This book presents experiences that children or any person may come across in life. The book also demonstrates how to choose thoughts to change feelings and emotions to make more positive choices in life. Join Ashley and Julie as they discuss higher being consciousness, your heart center, dealing with emotions, feelings, processing thoughts, and Julie's new book.

On today's show, I am going to identify when a narcissist has crossed the line, and how to safeguard ourselves against them. When it comes to the people in their lives, narcissists have no boundaries and have double standards. We need to identify the signs of narcissistic retaliation, their playbook, which includes everything from projections and judgment on us to the narcissist's use of flying monkeys. Once we can identify these things, we will be able to protect and distance ourselves from our relationships with narcissists.

Do you know what you want in your life? Most of us have an idea of what we want our lives to look like. Unfortunately, many of us are in limbo in our lives. We do not know how to put our thoughts and ideas into practice. We need to think about how to take what we want and make it our reality. We must make choices and decisions to change our current situations and create the life we want.

Many of us are unaware that narcissistic parents raised us. Nobody ever said that our parents were narcissists. As we grew older, we started to see and comprehend what was happening. On today's show, I'll talk about how narcissistic parents affect us as well as the warning signs and symptoms of narcissistic parents. Watch the links to the following videos below:How to Handle Being the Scapegoat or Black Sheep in the Family? https://youtu.be/N8SXvtEINrsWhen Narcissistic Parents Choose their Favorite Child.

Join me as I examine the distinction between potential and performance on today's show. Recognizing the difference between the two, and seeing when there is only potential, are both critical to identifying and understanding them in your life. Let's discuss the differences between potential and performance, how to distinguish them, and the roles they both play in our relationships.

I am talking about the relationship that has left you in shambles on today's show. It started out so amazing, perfect, and unbelievable. Suddenly something changed. You are now left in the position of wondering what happened. The overwhelming anxiety is preventing you from eating or sleeping. You cannot believe that your relationship went from being so wonderful to picking up the pieces of your life and trying to move forward.

On today's show, we are talking with author and producer, Adam Swain Ferguson about his recent book, Love Without Wings, an Adoption Fairytale. This is a heartfelt story about folks who want children and are unable to have them on their own. It covers all the obstacles people go through in order to adopt children and become families. Join me today as I talk to Adam and learn more about his intentions and the concepts of the book. Adam Swain Ferguson's website: https://www.purplefoxentertainment.com/

Time is our greatest illusion! Many of us make decisions that may not be the best for us based on the illusion of time. What is time and how does it impact us? Our perspective of time affects everything in our lives from our health to our life partners. Time or the illusion of time determines much of our decision-making. Often, we rush into things that may need more thought because of our fear of time. Join me as we explore the illusion of time and the effect it has on our lives.

We are impacted daily by things that we are aware of and things that we are not aware of. These impacts can affect us both positively and negatively. On today's show, I will help us realize what is impacting us, understand what the impacts are, and how great the impact is on us. This will help us see where we are, what we are doing, and what we need to be more aware of, in our lives.

Many of us worry about being alone. Sometimes we find ourselves settling because of our fear of being alone. It seems that this fear is a very common theme. We may tolerate and accept things from others that we would not usually do because of our fear of being alone. Often this fear pushes us to a place of not being able to identify ourselves. In the process of not wanting to be alone over time, we lose ourselves. If you must change who you are as a person, or give up things that are important to stay in the relationship, you need to measure what is going on and does this relationship benefit you. Join me today as I look into understanding the fear of being alone and what it is saying about you, while in a relationship.

Join me on today's show as we explore what we can do to become new and improved versions of ourselves. What do we need to start doing today to make these changes happen? The start of a new year is a wonderful opportunity to begin looking at these questions and determine what adjustments we need to make to allow us to feel more at ease, peaceful, happier, and healthier. Relationships fuel both our happiness and our pain. We need to be able to understand and recognize our numerous relationships to be new and improved. Once we can understand these, we will be able to see what we need to do to make changes in our situations to feel better about our lives. The key in life is to work hard to be a better person than we were the day before.

We all walk a journey in life. Often, the journey can be long, overwhelming, and challenging. Other times the journey can be the best thing in the world. Throughout this journey that we call life, we need to constantly be learning and growing to make ourselves better and stronger every day. Sometimes we just go through the motions and do not realize all that is going on around us. How do we understand our truth and see our life and goodness? How do we begin to manage and process what we need in our lives? Join me today as we find answers to these questions and others, to understand our reality and move forward in life.

On Today's show, I want to talk about how to stay healthy. It is important to stay healthy throughout the entire year. When we don't feel well we get stressed and anxious. When we get sick we tend to reflect back and wonder what we could have done to have prevented the illness. Along with the physical symptoms of an illness, we can experience emotional symptoms. Seasonal Affective Disorder, “SAD”, is an emotional illness that can bring us down. Join me as I give some tips and tricks on how to stay well both physically and emotionally this year.

Today's show is about the signs and symptoms of borderline personality disorder. Many of us may have grown up with a family member, have been, or are currently in a relationship with someone who has signs and symptoms of borderline personality disorder. Some of us may even have signs and symptoms of borderline personality disorder ourselves. Join me today to identify the symptoms and understand how it affects you, whether you have borderline personality disorder, or are living with someone who does.

Stress, strain, and overwhelm! How do we refocus on our lives? What are some important things in your life that you may be pushing aside, not thinking about, or not focusing on? Often, we don't think about the things happening in the moment because we are concentrating on the stress and drama in our lives. We have many responsibilities, feelings, and emotions, that we process daily. When these thoughts weigh on us, we tend to not focus on what needs to be done in the moment. Join me today for some tips and tricks on slowing down and accomplishing some of the things we need to be doing in the moment.

It's time to reflect on, comprehend, and process the past year we've personally had. It is also time to use this knowledge to get ready for the upcoming year. Let's look closely at the opportunities and chances that have and have not happened, whether expected or not. Join me today as we examine your year in greater detail.

What is something in your life that seems to be missing? Finding this missing piece will lead you to feel more satisfied and content. Many of us believe that something is missing in our lives and need to figure out how to find it. When we have this empty feeling, we are left in a very challenging situation Being able to pinpoint exactly what it is and how to obtain it will prove very powerful to us. Join me today as I explore how to figure out what is missing in your life and what you can do to attain it.

Being able to help children grow and learn in life is very valuable. For children to become well-rounded it is important that they are exposed to as many outlets and experiences as possible. The quality and quantity of information will contribute to their growth and learning. Children's Author C. Jordan is with me today. Jordan has written the book, Ethan's Truck Learning Adventures! This creative book provides an opportunity for children to explore and learn so many cool new things. The book is based on the author's energetic and curious son Ethan. The book encourages children to use their imagination without fear and get excited about learning. Join us today to learn more about the book, Ethan, and author C. Jordan.

How often do you wait for others to make decisions impacting your life? In the process of waiting for these decisions, you put your life on hold. For many of us, this happens more often than we may want to admit. This throws us into the waiting game, waiting for them to step up and do exactly what they said they would. Join me today as I discuss further what it feels like to put your life on hold while waiting for someone else to follow through on their word, decide, or just be honest with you. Also, what you can do to prevent this from happening in your life

Where are you directing your energy? On Today's show, I am going to discuss energy, both what and whom we are putting our energy into. We must become aware of where our energy is going. Often, we do not realize what is sucking the energy out of us. If you have gone through or are currently going through a negative family, work, or friendship situation that has taken over a lot of your mind share, this show will help identify where your energy is going to help you make changes in your life.

Join me today as I reveal the differences between enabling and helping. Quite often, we want to help our friends, family, or loved ones. However, in the process, we may end up enabling rather than helping. Sometimes the help turns to harm without us realizing what is going on. Let's look at the differences between helping and enabling. We need to be able to recognize and understand when we are enabling, and when we may be enabled.

Are you an enabler or are you helping someone? Join me today as I dive deeper into the differences between enabling and truly helping. Many of us do not realize that we are enabling someone rather than being a help to them. We help people because we care about them. We help them work through and identify things that they may be struggling with. It is not healthy to be an enabler. At what point does helping become enabling? Let's get a clearer understanding of what enabling is, and augment what we do so that we are able to help but not enable.

Today's show will discuss different types of relationships, and how these relationships shape the thought process of society. Often, we get into relationships believing that the other person will make us happy, but in reality, we are the only person who can make ourselves happy. Not everyone is in a monogamous relationship. There are many different types of relationships that work well for others. Join me as I help educate us about what others are choosing over monogamous relationships. I will also take a deeper look at how the polyamorous relationship is just one option that works for many people.

Many of us engage in self-sabotaging behaviors. Self-sabotage can occur either consciously or unconsciously. On today's show, we are going to explore self-sabotage. We will look at the different types of self-sabotage and how our core beliefs influence the reasons we may self-sabotage. Self-sabotage gets in our way of happiness and presents conflict in our lives. Join me as I talk with Adriana. Adriana is going to give her perspective on how self-sabotage has affected her life and some of the things she has done to eliminate self-sabotage. For more information on self-sabotage watch the following videos:What is Self-Sabotage and why do we do it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9z9o8q65qKgLink between Self-Sabotage and Toxic Relationships: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZPu8hnhH-UCan I Stop them from Self-Sabotaging their life? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCjTxn89ZL8To learn more about core beliefs watch this video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgEB6e_SZTg

On today's show, we are going to be talking about the concept of blocking. What happens when someone blocks you, and why do we feel the need to block others? It is a very painful experience to be blocked by someone whom you believed to be very important to you. When we are blocked, especially out of the blue, we are not able to talk about our feelings, concerns, or fears with the other person. Many of us have been blocked and found it to be overwhelming. Joining me today is Adriana. Adriana is going to share her experiences of what it feels like to be blocked and how it feels to be the person doing the blocking.

Today's show is about Pre-school, communication, and connection with our children. When we connect with our children, we can have a greater understanding of them. Additionally, this connection allows them to understand themselves and their emotions much clearer. Pre-school is a very important developmental step in the lives of children. When done correctly, pre-school can be a safe and formative place for our children to learn, grow and connect with themselves and others. Joining me today is children's author, Jeanette Crystal Bradley. Jeanette has written a sing-along book titled, The First 12 Days of Preschool. If you are a parent, you are aware of all the emotions that both parents and children go through when starting preschool. Jeanette hopes that her book will help to ease the transition into preschool through her beautiful illustrations and memorable tune.

Do someone's lies have you questioning your own reality? Perhaps you are experiencing manipulation and gaslighting right now. We may not have a full understanding of what is happening to us. The closer the relationship is, the more difficult it becomes to see what is going on. Often, we find ourselves questioning the truth. This questioning takes us off target and may distract us in life. Today's show is going to offer you some guidance and point out red flags to be aware of if you are questioning your reality due to someone's lies. Most importantly, I am going to help you change the situation, find out the truth to make the situation better, see things clearer, and get closure if necessary.Watch the video on ghosting on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkB_sRqSmH0&t=2sListen to the podcast on ghosting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze7l28_lGwg

When you are being mirrored, someone is copying or imitating your characteristics, traits, and behaviors. Does it feel like you have someone in your life that seems to be a bit too much like you? Often, we are not aware that we are being mirrored. We believe that we have so many similar thoughts, feelings, and characteristics as this person. Oftentimes, we have found our perfect companion. It may feel as though we are looking at ourselves in the mirror. Although mirroring can feel good, it is important to figure out if these commonalities are true or, is it a case of mirroring.

Do you have a narcissist in your life? Are you able to identify who that malignant narcissist is? In today's show, I want to discuss the traits of the malignant narcissist and how to understand them. The show will give you the knowledge to identify when you are dealing with someone who has these traits, symptoms, and signs. We may also be operating with codependent programming that caters directly into the malignant narcissist behavior that makes it even more complicated to identity. Having this knowledge will be powerful for you when dealing with a malignant narcissist. Remember, we are not always aware that we are dealing with someone with these traits. We might feel like we have connections and similarities to the person with the narcissistic traits however, that may not be the truth. Join me today to learn more about narcissism and what you can do to safeguard yourself when someone in your life has the signs and symptoms of it.
