Holiday Self Care, New Traditions, & Strategies With Abusers

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse Q&A, Brandon talks with Jean about managing expectations during the holiday season, particularly for those dealing with a narcissistic ex-partner. Jean shares her experience and advice on handling events with problematic individuals, using "protected contact" and buffer people. They emphasize the importance of flexibility, self-care, and creating new traditions for those alone. They also highlight the need for planning and preparation to mitigate potential disruptions and emotional challenges.
