Narcissists, sociopaths, and psychopaths (NSPs) are everywhere, especially in the online world. Many people have found themselves trying to pick up the pieces of their lives after dealing with abuse from NSPs. This can happen in romantic relationships, friendships, family relationships, and even at work. My guest, author and trauma de-activator Marja West, tells her story of healing from narcissistic abuse during her 14-year marriage. She now helps other men and women free themselves from abuse from NSPs in their lives, and heal. We talk about the roles of empaths and "apaths" in an NSPs life, how to resist "love bombing" by these individuals, and how to protect yourself from scams, especially with online dating and other virtual connections. Learn how to empower yourself, protect yourself from predators, and heal! Find out more about Marja's work, including her book, You Tube channel, and healing programs at www.marjawest.com.
