Can a Narcissist Change Their Spots?

This week we will answer a question that many people ask themselves after an abusive relationship - can a narcissist change their spots? We will dive deep into why those abused start doubting themselves, and understand why our narcissistic ex-partners seem happy and fulfilled in their new relationship.  What You Will Learn In This Episode: - Why we start doubting ourselves after breaking up with the narcissist - How a narcissist's protective parts trigger a codependent's protective parts - The two things to consider when a narcissist enters a new relationship  - What we can and what we cannot change about what happened to us in the past Healing from narcissistic trauma doesn't happen instantly. It's about realising that the narcissist highlighted our core wounds and protective parts. The best thing we can do is stop looking at the narcissist and their new relationship, focus that lens on ourselves, take back our power, and do what we need to do to live our best life.
