This video CONTEMPLATES on whether to #rescue your #narcissistic partner or choose #selfpreservation when #toxicpatterns persist. I share my #clinicalwisdom as a #couplestherapist with over 26 years #experience supporting those facing this #excruciating decision after #narcissisticabuse.<br /><br />With #compassion and #discernment, I #explore when #reconciliation and #healing ingrained #narcissism remains #possible with proper #boundaries and #accountability. Other times, I explain why #walkingaway becomes the only #viableoption to #protectyourheart when the #narcissist refuses #change and #personalgrowth.<br /><br />I #validate how #immense #grief arises when you must #detach from hopes of #transforming someone #unwilling to get #help despite your #efforts and #ultimatums. Here I guide you to #process this #emotionalturbulence to #releaseguilt and choose #selfcare while still #honoring #love’s potential to #awakenthem someday.<br /><br />Yet I also want to offer #hope to those considering #staying, even after #painful #setbacks and #failedpromises to improve the #dysfunction. With the right #therapist using #specializedmodalities like #DBT and #schematherapy, ingrained #narcissistic defenses CAN soften when met with #empathy versus #shame.<br /><br />I share real #caseexamples of #miraculousbreakthroughs after the #narcissist reaches their #rockbottom and commits to the #rigorouswork of #change. #Intimacypatterns once saturated with #blame, #secrecy and #controltransform through addressing #corewounds and #accountability.<br /><br />However the #roadtohealing is never linear, but rather a #rollercoaster filled with two #stepsforward and one #stepback. #Relapses happen while #unlearning toxic #habits and building #selfawareness, #selfsoothing skills plus the #humility for #apology and #forgiveness. As the #narcissisticlearns #emotionregulation, #cognitiveempathy emerges, followed by #vulnerability and #reciprocity.<br /><br />I offer #guidelines on #discernment regarding #dealbreakers and #boundaries if you #attemptreconciliation with someone on the #narcissisticspectrum. This includes #metrics to assess #sincerity of #change after #devaluationphases, #silenttreatments or #projectedblame. I also share how to #support while also #detaching with #love if no #realprogress unfolds after #intensivetherapy.<br /><br />Ultimately whether you #detachforever or give #reconciliation another #chance depends on your unique #situation and #wellbeing. I #validate the #exhaustion and #hopelessness after #yearsofchaos, #lies and #manipulation. #Enoughisenough - and you must #chooseyourself first when #harmoutweights potential #growth.<br /><br />But IF glimmers exist of #willingness for self-work and #healing, my #messageisnot to #giveup preemptively before exploring options with a #specialist. #Miracleshappen when we lead with #understanding instead of #judgment towards the #narcissist’s #distortedworld.<br /><br />So whether you #walkaway or #gentleencourage #accountability on their #journey, this video offers #clarity and #confirmation regarding one of life’s most #gutwrenching #decisions. #Hopeforthebest but #plantheworst case #exitstrategy. Above all - #trustyourintuition and #listentoyourheart before the #soulcrushing #patterns return. <br /><br />▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />Join this channel to get access to perks:<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNEuJshkAQNY9psWeiArwpw/join" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNEuJshkAQNY9psWeiArwpw/join</a><br />▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />Watch the related Video at: <br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6Ep5_3UXfU" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6Ep5_3UXfU</a><br />Walking Away from a Narcissist?❤️‍🩹 How Will They React to Narcissistic Breakup If you Leave First💔<br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgcj8fW65Y0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgcj8fW65Y0</a><br />How Narcissists React When Losing Control - What do narcissists do when they lose control of you.<br /><br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ5OfwSmnPY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ5OfwSmnPY</a><br />When You Go No Contact The Narcissist Does This Everyday and Why "No Contact Works" #nocontact #npd<br /> <br /><br />💔 <br /><a href="https://youtube.com/live/49Czc_4WFKA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://youtube.com/live/49Czc_4WFKA</a><br />Narcissists Are "More DEVASTATED" By This Than By No Contact, And Can Even Go CRAZY. #Narcissism<br /><br />💔 Protect #covertnarc<br />💔<br />You can also read more in-depth at : <br /><a href="https://thyselftherapy.com/narcissistic-personality-disorder/causes-of-narcissism/challenges-and-stressors-of-divorcing-a-narcissist-is-it-the-best-choice-xnarcabuse-thyselfrecovery/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://thyselftherapy.com/narcissistic-personality-disorder/causes-of-narcissism/challenges-and-stressors-of-divorcing-a-narcissist-is-it-the-best-choice-xnarcabuse-thyselfrecovery/</a><br /><br /> ❤️‍🩹<br /><br /><a href="http://RecoverThyself.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://RecoverThyself.com/</a><br />────────────<br />00:00 - ▶ Choosing Self-Preservation Over Narcissistic Rescue<br />01:33 - ▶ What Makes Narcissists So Toxic<br />02:00 - ▶ The Research Is Clear -- Narcissists Cannot Change<br />03:19 - ▶ Stop Analyzing Their Behavior -- The Why Doesn't Matter<br />03:36 - ▶ Don't Waste Time Trying To Get Through To Them<br />04:07 - ▶ Accept That Fairness And Reciprocity Will Never Happen<br />04:56 - ▶ Don't Expect Closure -- Walk Away And Make Your Own<br />05:15 - ▶ Watch For These Common Hoovering Tactics<br />06:03 - ▶ See Hoovering Attempts For What They Are -- Manipulation Ploys<br />06:21 - ▶ The Sweet Relief Of No Contact<br /> ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br /><br /><br />🔔🔔🔔SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE VIDEOS:<br />▸ <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNEuJshkAQNY9psWeiArwpw?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNEuJshkAQNY9psWeiArwpw?sub_confirmation=1</a><br />▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwqj52_BRcg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwqj52_BRcg</a>
