Self Love in the Face of Persecution

Self Love in the Face of Persecution

Co-Parenting with a Narcissist

Co-Parenting with a Narcissist

Co-parenting suggest co-operation in parenting the children with the best interest of the children as the primary focus.

Projection and False Accusations

Projection and False Accusations

Projection is a very crazy making dynamic.  Because when someone projects their issues onto you, they will accuse you of doing exactly what it is they are doing.

Can’t Face the Truth So I will Blame YOU!

It is such a theme, I see in my work and even in my personal life with people who are unable to face the truth about something in their lives, normally something about themselves they don’t want to look at.
