Spotting these traits early can save you from years of pain. The first step to reclaim your power? Name the pattern. When you put words to what’s happening, you take control. It’s like turning on the light in a dark room — suddenly, everything is clearer and less overwhelming.If you're feeling trapped or unsure how to break free, start by validating your experience. Read her book Break Up with Narcissism — it’s packed with practical steps to help you see the truth and take action.Remember: healing begins when you recognize the pattern.
