Have you ever found yourself wondering if your partner-or someone close to you-might be a narcissist? You’re not alone. Many people dive deep into diagnosing those around them, but what if focusing on labels is distracting you from something more urgent?
In this video, I share a heartbreaking story of a woman who questioned whether her partner was a narcissist-until her story took a horrifying turn. You’ll learn about the real dangers of focusing on narcissism labels instead of recognizing abusive behaviors. This is one of the most intense and hard-hitting videos I’ve made, discussing sensitive topics like sexual violence, emotional abuse, and the devastating impact of denial.
By the end, you’ll understand the importance of shifting the focus from diagnosing narcissism to prioritizing safety and well-being. I’ll share a new approach to help you, or someone you know, make empowered and compassionate decisions to stay safe in the face of abuse.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
The dangers of labeling someone as a narcissist
How abuse impacts your ability to see clearly and take action
