I appreciate you! Building community together to increase knowledge and awareness 💜

In a non-abusive relationship - absolutely.

A narcissist's faked helplessness is a manipulation tactic. They claim they "can't" do something to get you to do it, making you feel helpful while subtly gaining control and avoiding responsibility. 😡

❓ What things did they tell you they couldn't do?

The silent treatment is a common narcissistic abuse tactic—it's weaponized communication to punish, control, and manipulate. It leaves the victim confused, isolated, and desperate for contact. Recognizing this pattern is the first step to healing.

Birthday: Reclaimed! How my 50th birthday gave me back the celebrations I was denied—and the love I had always needed

Healing is hard, but reclaiming my birthday? 🎉 Priceless. I stopped ignoring it and started celebrating me. Took control, let go of the past. It feels great.

What did I reclaim? Read my blog👇

Reclaiming My Birthday How I’m breaking a lifelong pattern of birthdays hijacked by narcissists—and making 50 a day entirely my own.

Happy 50th to me! 🥳

After decades of letting the narcissists in my life hijack or flat-out destroy my special day, this is the year I'm finally saying, "This birthday is MINE."

Consider this my official reclamation. 👑 The past is over. The future is bright. Let the good times roll! 🍾

When My Own Name Feels Like a Threat Scenes like this one play out regularly, and it’s how I know narcissistic abuse still lives inside me.

Hearing my own name can make me freeze in place. Have you ever felt that?

“Alexa, Turn It Up to 10!” How a joyful moment can trigger deep-seated trauma—and the steps that help retrain a nervous system shaped by narcissistic abuse

It’s hard to explain how a good time for some can be a trigger for others.

Why a diagnosis of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) isn't the point. You don’t need a therapist’s diagnosis to know the truth about what you are experiencing. Naming the patterns is enough—and it’s the first step to reclaiming yourself.

Patterns are far more important than an actual diagnosis. Know what you are looking for.

Future Faking: A Promise That Never Comes True Narcissists talk about the future like it’s already written. My ex made all kinds of promises, and none of them were kept. Here's how to recognize the patterns and what to do.

“As soon as I…” - Sounds like a promise but not when there is no intention to follow through…only to manipulate. Future Faking…

Why My Practice Specializes in Narcissism and Narcissistic Abuse I saw firsthand how poorly therapists are trained to recognize narcissism. I want to change that.

The system wasn’t built to protect survivors of narcissistic abuse - so I built something new.

The Cost of Silence: And the Power of Breaking It Why speaking your truth is the most radical act of self-love

I will no longer be silenced!

Confidence or Conceit? How to Tell the Difference Not all confidence is created equal—here’s how to spot when it’s genuine, and when it’s a mask for narcissism.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell. Recognize the patterns.

When to Seek Help How do you recognize the moment that you can't (and shouldn't) navigate narcissism alone?

Sometimes you feel like you can manage the effects of narcissism on your own. Other times you feel like you cannot.
