Don't Let Him Isolate You - The Power of Connection
If we're not purposeful in taking care of ourselves in the face of narcissistic control and abuse, we can fall prey to separation: Separation from others, separation from Truth. Separation leads to isolation. Isolation leads to despair. And in despair, Satan and someone's narcissism have a foothold to control and abuse us. On this episode, I will be talking about the power of connection. I've seen so much Healing take place when my clients have reached out and connected with others who understand narcissism. Connection is out there; don't believe the lie that it isn't. Thanks for listening! Please remember to subscribe, rate, and review.
