Narcissistic abuse has both physical and mental symptoms for the women that survive the toxicity of it all. Walking away is a victory unto itself, but issues like PTSD, depression and anxiety are things that persist long after the situation is over.Dr. Ramani Durvasula is one of the world’s leading experts on narcissism. She is the licensed clinical psychologist bringing awareness to millions of men and women who have experienced narcissistic partners. Dr. Ramani has a healing program for people going through narcisstic abuse. She exposes the lies and traps of narcissistic partners to help more women like you never go through being gaslit and mentally abused.The harsh truth is that there’s only one way to make a narcissistic relationship work which means, your silence and loss of self which leads to shutting down. Drowning your identity for the sake of peace with your narcissistic partner doesn’t mean you’ve found a way to make the relationship better either.Today we’re asking how do you show up in spite of narcissistic abuse?
