Women of Impact

This is a fan fav episode. The term narcissist gets thrown around a lot to the misfortune of people who are not actually narcissistic. Toxicity, emotional, mental, and verbal abuse are clear common markers of narcissistic behavior. Hopefully, you’re not in a relationship with a narcissistic person, but perhaps you’ve recently left a toxic situation and still feel lost, confused and uncertain how to handle the narcissist in your life. Dr. Ramani doesn’t mince words when it comes to dealing with narcissists. The depth of knowledge she has from working with victims of narcissism is mind-blowing. In this episode we’ve packed some of the best advice Dr. Ramani has shared with Lisa on Women of Impact so you can take notes and the cycle of abuse and start healing. If you’ve managed to avoid relationships with narcissists to this point, we’re cheering for you. We want you to be safe and be aware of the red fags many people miss until it’s too far gone.

This is a fan fav episode. Regardless of where you are located, your educational background, or your financial situation, we tend to have similar emotional and personal struggles, yet feel so isolated and alone dealing with them. Everyday stress and avoidant behaviors and habits leave you fearful, disappointed, and lacking enough significance in your own life to even prioritize YOU! Marissa Peer’s mission is to help people realize there are simple, rapid and effective techniques that can change life for the better. She is sharing these tactics here with Lisa and with you to understand the power that your words and thoughts have over your life. Put an end to your self-destructive behaviors and habits, get to the root of the feelings sabotaging you, and start telling yourself a better lie. “Thoughts dictate feelings, your feelings dictate your actions, and your actions dictate your events.” Marisa Peer Check out Marisa Peer’s latest book, Tell Yourself a Better Lie: ⁠https://amzn.to/39U2M7w⁠ SHOW NOTES: 0:00 | Introduction to Marissa Peer 0:25 | Control Your Thoughts, Not Your Feelings 23:29 | Start Practicing This! 42:49 | Find What Lies Beneath 59:23 | Bonus: Stop Feeling Trapped Original air date: 6-26-2022 Follow Marisa Peer: Website: ⁠https://marisapeer.com/⁠ Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/MarisaPeer⁠ Facebook: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/marisa.peer.therapy/⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/marisapeertherapy/⁠ YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGb0bBp7bTQBHLlyAfNV-Fg⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
