  • Featured Episode: Healing from Narcissistic Relationships with Dr. Kerry Kerr McAvoy

    Featured Episode: Healing from Narcissistic Relationships with Dr. Kerry Kerr McAvoy
    Dec 26 2024
    I’m bringing back one of my most impactful conversations with psychologist and writer Dr. Kerry Kerr McAvoy about healing from narcissistic relationships. We unpack the challenges of being in a relationship with someone who has narcissistic personality disorder, the profound impact it can have on your emotional and mental well-being, and actionable strategies for self-nurturing after the relationship ends. We also take a closer look at the common phrase “it takes two to tango” and what it means in the context of unhealthy relationships. If you’re healing from a toxic relationship or want to gain clarity on what healthy love looks like, listen to this episode again or tune in for the first time. What you’ll hear: We explore the phrase “It takes two to tango…” Does it, though, when narcissistic abuse or toxicity is involved in a relationship? Is there anything that you can do to help a narcissistic and abusive partner? The short answer is no. Narcissistic Personality is a disorder. It’s not a mental health condition. Kerry explains the distinction. Focusing on and nurturing yourself back to life is essential in a relationship that has dimmed you. Learn more about Kerry McAvoy: Kerry Kerr McAvoy is a psychologist and a writer who educates on social media about cultivating healthy relationships, deconstructing narcissism, and understanding various other mental health-related issues.
