Living with a narcissistic husband, wife or partner, or anyone else with narcissistic traits is undoubtedly challenging. While you may love your partner very much (or not anymore!), their narcissistic tendencies can make it difficult (to say the least) for you to live with them and feel loved in return. It may have taken you some time to realize that his or her personality is sadly all about ‘me, myself and I’. You (and possibly others) may now be thinking of them as selfish, pompous, arrogant, snooty, overbearing, big-headed and/or a user, who never-ever apologizes for their behavior.In today’s episode, my guest Tierra Womack, Founder of The Brave Way not only shares her story but also her knowledge. She talks about her experience living with narcissistic partners, and how she was able to get out of it. Learning to be brave is certainly one of the things she struggled with, but looking back, she can say she is grateful to them! She is now on a mission to help survivors thrive after narcissistic abuse, get their confidence back and find their life’s purpose. In today’s episode, we talk about:Who a narcissist exactly is and how to detect narcissistic tendencies in people The 6 types of narcissists Why an unhealthy and toxic relationships are one and the same thingHow to tell whether you are in a toxic relationship before it is too lateTips on how to gather the courage to get out of a toxic relationship with a narcissistShifting your mindset to avoid the victim mentality. Characteristics of an emotionally mature personRecovering from narcissistic abuse means that you have to dig deep to reveal the many layers of trauma. You have to acknowledge that it isn’t going to be easy to go through all the painful realizations of your past but that is extremely important to work through each layer and grieve your losses.

Tana Kiefer lives life deliberately, thoughtfully, and with purpose. She is determined to raise five children who are resilient and kind, and for whom the cycle of abuse has ended. Tana endured 15 years of domestic violence in the form of psychological torment, gaslighting, and coercive control. She became an expert in keeping the peace, doing whatever was necessary to protect her children and herself from a volatile, abusive person. Tana shares with us a simple truth: So much abuse is not physical. California is one state to recognize the damage of coercive control, and is in process of passing legislation to make it a criminal offense (SB 1141). We still have a long way to go before that abuse is criminalized as it should be. The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence estimates 95% of abusers use tactics of psychological abuse on their victims. One of the most important lessons from Tana is about planning your escape from your abuser. For a year, she ferried clothes, documents, photos to a safe place in anticipation of the day when she would get away. Leaving wasn't easy - it never is - but Tana had prepared herself logistically for the fight to freedom. Our conversation concludes with Tana sharing a beautiful poem written daughter, an example of the hope that comes from a generation raised with the language and the knowledge to seek healthy relationships. Tana has read extensively in her recovery from abuse, and recommends these resources: - Power: Surviving and Thriving After Narcissistic Abuse by Shahidi Arabi (2017) - Unfu*ck Yourself by Gary John Bishop (2016) - Psychopath Free by Jackson MacKenzie (2015)

Many people believe if a victim of narcissistic abuse is asked to take responsibility for what happened to them – that they are being “blamed” for the abuse they suffered. Naturally, there a large consensus assert this takes away the accountability from where it should be positioned - which is on the abuser. There is also a lot of belief that the words “blame” and “responsibility” mean the same thing. But do they? Does adopting these beliefs and paths create the same results? Today’s radio show is a very controversial topic, and one that I feel very passionate about bringing out into an open Forum for discussion. It is one regarding victimisation versus Thriving, and how the Thriver Model is confused as victim blaming. To join in the debate please visit the blog here: http://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/does-the-thriver-model-place-the-blame-on-the-victim I love reading and answering all your comments!     

This week’s Empowered Love Radio Show is an interview with Sylvia, a regular and wonderful contributor to this Community. Sylvia’s journey was narcissistic abuse ever since a child, starting with her mother - and then four narcissistic love relationships in a row. Sylvia had always been able to get up and get on with it, until the last narcissist, who she described as her “big bad wolf”. Even though Sylvia endured extreme behaviour and terrible abuse, it wasn’t until she discovered details about his sexuality that had been hidden from her, that she finally had the strength to leave and never go back. Some time later she realised he was a narcissist, and in fact that many significant people in her past were narcissists. This then led Sylvia to extensively research all she could about narcissists, to try to avoid being abused again - yet multiple narcissists continued to come into her life. Until one day she realised there had to be something much deeper going on - and it had to be something within her .. That is what led her to my work, and another life, which bears no resemblance to the one she was living. I hope you thoroughly enjoy this show, which includes some of Sylvia’s incredible ah-ha’s breakthroughs and discoveries, which are truly nothing short of Quantum Leaps.

This is a story of sheer survival for many years, and then ultimate Thriving after narcissistic abuse. Read the transcript here:  http://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/thriver-story-30-nora

Today’s Thriver Show is about Prima, a lady who went through a highly abusive narcissistic marriage that had her eventually fleeing, fearful for her life. He had threatened that if she ever left him he would kill her. Now today Prima has not only recovered herself, her emotions and her life, but she was also recently awarded full legal custody of her two daughters. This occurred despite being initially terrified for her and her daughters that he would charm the courts and no-one would believe her. But one day something completely changed, and what unfolded was nothing short of a miracle. Find out all about this incredible story in today’s Thriver Show.

Mike and Catsby are not only in a relationship – they are in a connected, expansive relationship which I call an “evolutionary relationship”. Meaning a soul-mate relationship – one where once we have mated our own soul – a true soul mate can enter our life. This is the ultimate goal of love relationship, and Mike and Catsby share intimately how to achieve it. How, by reaching a certain level of love and connection within yourself, this radiates out into the world and creates the physical manifestation of that love. The showing up of a partner – who with together you can share and generate ease, trust, authenticity and continual positive growth and expansion with.

Why it is vital to come home to inside our bodies in order to heal after narcissistic abuse? In this radio show you will learn all about how we originally got disconnected from “being with ourselves” and what that looks like, how it plays out and how it feels. Maybe we think connecting with our bodies is about eating healthily, or exercising and respecting our physical being. Many of us did not realise that “body-awareness” relates to every aspect of our emotional life – our relationship with ourselves, others and our Higher Power. Until narcissistic abuse most of us had no idea that we weren’t self-partnered, let alone the deadly price of not being self-partnered. This is a deep journey into the Body Connection; the understanding of what it is, and how to do it.    

I'm very excited to bring you this Thriver Story about a woman named Val. Many narcissistic relationships include episodes of rage. However, some narcissists are notorious for these episodes and constant mood swings. If you have been a relationship with a narcissistic rager you will relate to: Feeling like you can't do anything right because the slightest perceived error will result in a barrage of rage. Living in constant fear of what they might do - especially after breaking away from the relationship. Feeling like it's all your fault and being blamed for the rage episodes. Another extremely painful thing that Val went through was bringing up two children with the narcissist. The psychological and physical affects that children get put through when they are in constant fear of a parent is horrendous. If you relate to any of these experiences you are going to find this show incredibly inspiring. I'd love you to listen to the show (by clicking the player above) or reading the show notes. You will learn how Val was able to do some pretty incredible things throughout her recovery like ... Release all of her fear and anxiety regarding what the narcissist may do, and as a result he became distant and no longer affects her. Heal the trauma her children suffered and Val is now watching them grow into amazing young adults. Gain full custody of her kids, when the default parenting arrangement in her state was 50/50 custody. Rebuild her career and start a business after being out of the job market for 20 years. It truly fills my heart with joy to share with you another amazing Thriver story with you!

A little over a week ago I had an awakening within me that was so powerful there was no ignoring it, and it’s this awakening that motivated me to create this radio show.  We know that narcissists operate from unconsciousness; their True Self has been eradicated and has been replaced by an Egoic Self that is never satisfied.  But it isn’t just narcissists who operate from unconsciousness …  In this article I want to explore how narcissists bring unconsciousness to the surface – granting us a choice... To either stay unconscious and victimized. Or to raise our consciousness and Thrive.  I'm really excited about this radio show, and I hope it shines a light on the truth of this issue which sadly is non-existent in most abuse recovery channels.  Because I truly believe it's time to change that. You can read the transcript to this radio show on my blog at blog.melanietoniaevans.com Please know, if you haven't already, you may sign up to my free New Life Community, where you will receive 2 free eBooks, and an email series called "16 Days To Your New life", and much, much more.

Today I have a really special interview. Especially if you are a male in this community, I know you will find this interview relatable and insightful. This show is about Phil, who is now one of our senior members in the NARP community. He is a friend of mine, and is also a part of the moderator team in the NARP community.  In this show Phil talks about what it’s like being a man who suffered in silence – being ashamed to talk about it with your friends because you know they wouldn’t understand and only judge you. He also talks about what’s like dealing with the male ego – that voice inside you that says you shouldn’t let a woman take control of you and affect you like that.  I had a wonderful time doing this show and I know you will get a lot out of it.  If you are interested in becoming a NARP member you can find all the information to join here.

This Thriver Story is about Yvette, a gay women who suffered a narcissistic relationship. I was thrilled when Yvette came forward, deeply wanting to share her story for the gay community … because over the years people have emailed and said to me “My narcissistic abuse situation with a same sex relationship, can you please write about that Melanie?”, whereas truly from what I have seen up close and personal with the numerous gay clients I have done energetic healing work with, is that same sex narcissistic dynamics are identical to heterosexual ones. My great friend Eric Casaccio the director of the movie “Narcissist” also agrees. He too reports that many people in the heterosexual community have reported to him, in his travels world-wide, the identical narcissistic abuse incidents that the gay community have experienced. What I think is wonderful, is that we now have a Thriver, Yvette, who can help gay and lesbian people identify with narcissistic abuse and recovery. Whether you are same sex orientated or hetrosexual, if you have been narcissistically abused, I know you will relate and get a lot out of this radio show. For more details about my healing system, which Yvette used to heal and recover from narcissistic abuse - please see www.melanietoniaevans.com/narp

This is a show that I had a lot of pleasure doing with Tami! Tami shares her story about horrendous multiple intimate partner narcissistic abuse, and how this lead to her losing nearly everything - and left her with very little will to live. In this show you will learn how Tami resurrected her life 180 degrees - in an incredibly short amount of time. Then, Tami and I have a delightful conversation about the deep principles of Law of Attraction, and what she did that led to her manifesting everything on her 2014 vision board, and more!  

This story is one of an incredibly courageous lady who suffers many debilitating auto-immune illnesses – ulcerative colitis, arthritis, fibro myalgia, migraines and Multiple Sclerosis. Jill suffers from extreme fatigue, and has no support with my 3 kids, and then all of this, naturally, was made so much harder as a result of the huge double-whammy of narcissistic abuse. Jill’s life-changing realisation was that she had been focusing on others her whole life, and that she had always been trying to be “perfect” for others. She was over-functioning as an over-achiever, as a successful business woman, and having to have a perfect home and life. Her life now has changed considerably as a result of finding out and focusing on her needs and what she really wants. In this show she talks about the shift she got out of NARP –“I am loveable for all I am ‘not’ as well as all that I am”. Jill also talks about how this led her to start enjoying the simple things in life, smiling, laughing and spending time with her kids. Jill’s children also started shifting as a result of their mother transforming. I know you will enjoy this incredible show, and it will give you hope, if you too have suffered narcissistic abuse on top of crippling health conditions.

This Thriver show features Marie, a mother of 5 children, who endured a 7 years relationship with a narcissist. We talk about how one of the biggest discoveries Marie made, is how co-dependent she was – and how she always had to fill her life with activities and people, and after escaping her relationship with the narcissist, how she couldn’t initially bear to be alone. During our conversation Marie shares about how working on establishing her Identity has been key, and she shares her involvement with Co-Dep (Co-dependents Anonymous) and how fascinating her children are as “a mirror” to make her recovery not just about herself, but also about them. You will also learn from this interview about Marie’s new partner, who is the father of her youngest two children, and how incredibly different the relationship is from her previous narcissistic one.

She hung in there because she believed she was supposed to ... This Thriver story is one that I believe many people will be able to relate to. Beliefs can be powerful. Many people believed “marriage is for life” … but when we believe that we are supposed to suffer in silence, put on a face to the world, and continue to just “carry one” with our families, our community,  or our church, is this healthy? During this interview I have these conversations with Marla, who realised not long after saying “I do” that he changed. Things weren’t the same, and he wasn’t the same man she thought she had married. As time went on things got worse … After 20 years and needing to leave Marla discovered two shocking facts, ones that you will discover when you listen. One which meant she would have to completely start all over again. The second was one that most people never have to face. I hope you enjoy this very honest, candid show.  

Last week I wrote what I believe is my most important article on my blog ever. That article - Part 1 - was inspired as a result of the difference I see constantly between the Thriver orientation, which occurs when we take the personal responsibility on to heal our own wounds, and the rampant victimsation model which is predominant in most narcissistic / sociopathic abuse communities. I am sharing some very special interviews with you today. These interviews are with women from the NARP Community, ladies who contacted me wanting to come forward and share their message, who have taken on the responsibility of their own healing, and who are active participants in breaking the cycles of abuse not only for themselves, but also for their future generations. I hope you enjoy these interviews, and please share this article and accompanying radio show in any forum where victimsation is taking hostages and keeping people stuck in powerlessness and pain. Please also share with anyone you know who it can help.    

It is my absolute pleasure to bring you this Thriver Story. This is the story of Suzanne, who I affectionately call the 'Nigella Lawson' of NARP, because of her wonderful recipes, input and the connection she has with our community. Suzanne is now a wonderful moderator and contributor to people suffering from narcissistic abuse. Suzanne's story is incredible. From a very painful childhood Suzanne was hospitalised as a single mother for 6 years, dealing with her childhood trauma. In this story you will learn about Suzanne's life, her two narcissistic expereinces, and the rich, full and incredible life she is living personally and professionally now. I know you will love this show, it is nothing short of inspirational.  

This radio show is Part Two of this series explaining what the Thriver Recovery model is, and how it revolutionises simply hoping to survive with ongoing symptoms after abuse. Since Quanta Freedom Healing’s birth in Koh Sumui in 2007, working with it to create my own recovery, and sharing it with others, its effects and benefits have spread world-wide to over 50 different countries and to thousands of men and women from all walks of life. Because Quanta Freedom Healing is becoming so much more recognised, I’ve made a conscious decision to be very open about how it works, and why it is so successful for treating such a horrific phenomenon as narcissistic abuse. The radio show explains exactly how Quanta Freedom Healing can release your trauma powerfully and directly, as well as treat the many symptoms that people suffer as a result of abuse, such as: Complicated / Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, agoraphobia, anxiety, depression and obsessive compulsive disorders,  as well as physical symptoms such as fibro myalgia, thyroid malfunction, adrenal stress and any other debilitating mental, emotional or physical condition that occurs as a result of trauma and abuse.    

This radio show is the first of a two-part series regarding the Thriver Model of recovery from narcissistic abuse. During this radio show series you will discover what Quanta Freedom Healing is, how it works and how it revolutionises the way we heal from trauma and abuse. This show is about why the old method of 'talk therapy' does not address deep inner wounding, and why processes that communicate with your subconscious - where the trauma is stored - do. During this show you will learn how I discovered and created Quanta Freedom Healing, and how my awakening led me to not only survive narcissistic abuse, but to Thrive, and then develop a healing system that would allow thousands of people from more than 50 different countries to became Thrivers after narcissistic abuse as well.

During this story we will be talking about Laurie's journey from narcissistic abuse, to freedom and creating a healthy, mature supportive relationship with her partner John - and what her life is like today.      

This show is very special; it is about a wonderful lady named Annie who suffered intense and awful abuse from her birth family, including sexual abuse. This show is about Annie's story, her Thriver recovery and a determined passion (Annie's and mine) to educate that sexual abuse IS narcissism. The statistics for sexual abuse (1-3 women and 1-6 men) are frightful, and if we are going to put an end to the generational cycles of abuse (including sexual abuse) we HAVE TO take responsibility and heal, so that we can heal future generations. That is what this show is about…

Neringa’s story is one about living in a long term narcissistic marriage, which Neringa has finally been able to separate from.

I know that many people in the community will be able to relate to Neringa’s marriage and her life up until this point. This is a pretty amazing story!
