Many people that I work with who have had a string of toxic or narcissistic relationships ask the question “can we overcome toxic relationship patterns? Perhaps it is in the looking back and realizing that the past three relationships were with narcissists, or seeing a pattern of being with narcissists, drug addicts, abusers and alcoholics.
There is usually something within our subconscious programs that keep us unconsciously being drawn to the wrong people so that we ourselves can learn to be the “right person” for ourselves and for the “right” relationship.
This podcast is actually a success story because I interview a guest who can whole heartedly answer the question “Can We Overcome Toxic Relationship Patterns,” with a YES!
Marie Claire began working with me as a Counseling client in 2008 as she worked to overcome her own patterns of attracting wrong relationships. As she worked to develop enough Self Love to say “YES” to herself it ultimately led her to saying “I Do” to the “right” relationship.
This interview is packed full of wisdom and is a must listen to anyone who has struggled to find a healthy, happy relationship.
I’m one of those who seems to attract narcissists. I’ve recently changed my thinking, and I think it’s helping.
In my case, the problem was I was allowing people to get me to take responsibility for them. Narcissists like to play the victim as a means of control.
I’m now getting it into my head that I am not responsible for them. They are responsible for themselves. And I’m only responsible for me. No more narcissists so far. So hopefully this is the breakthrough I needed!
Good work Jon! Amazing insights!
