    Get ready for a RAW, honest look at the devastating effects that narcissists have on our self-worth, the allure of magical moments in relationships, the pain of betrayal, and the realities of navigating emotional recovery.
    In today’s episode of Women of Impact, we’re joined by the world’s #1 narcissist expert who is here to help you actually heal and move on from narcissistic abuse!
    As a licensed clinical psychologist and expert in narcissistic relationships, Dr. Ramani digs deep into the behaviors and patterns that narcissists use every single day to manipulate the hell out of you and keep you sucked into the relationship.
    Most people don’t know this about her, but my girl Dr. Ramani has actually been a victim of narcissistic abuse many times throughout her own life. And in this episode she is sharing some of the lessons she learned from her own experiences and the knock-on effects those experiences still have on her to this day.
    In this episode, we’re diving into:
    - Societal myths about narcissists that diminish the seriousness of their abuse
    - How shame deeply affects your actions AND the narcissist’s actions
    - The best way to approach someone you think is in a relationship with a narcissist (and how to respond if YOU’RE the one approached!)
    - How to finally move on with the “recover from the lie” method
    - The self-blame spiral that has you thinking it’s YOUR fault & why you MUST escape it to take your power BACK from the narcissist!
    - How confusion & despair wear down your spirit and energy for life
    - The 3 Rs that keep you trapped in the toxic web
    So if you’re ready to finally frikin’ MOVE ON from that toxic person in your life then grab a cuppa and listen close homie, because this episode is here to help you heal from the abuse and put the pieces back together.

She’s talking about how to stop wasting your life feeling stuck, why you need to feel your feelings, and what you need to change to get excited and really look forward to a version of you 5 years from now.
    🔥 DR. RAMANI’S FIRE QUOTES:
    “And so things that I feel like I could do now were simply not possible then. The resources, the knowledge, the information. So when I feel like I want to be hard on myself, I have to recognize that it's actually a damned miracle that I'm doing all the things I'm doing, given how much doubt is in my mind about everything."
    "Enough people have told me that they have narcissistic mothers to let me know there's plenty of narcissistic women out there. I've worked with enough men who have been through relationships with narcissistic women to know there's plenty of narcissistic women out there."
    "Narcissism is considered a maladaptive personality because it puts them at odds with other people. So it's even less likely to change. And more importantly, because the personality won't change, the behaviors won't change, and the behaviors are what affect us in relationships."
    “A lot of people often don't want to tell their friend or family member that [they're] a little worried about your new relationship because their fear is that they're going to alienate that friend or family member. They don't want to lose that relationship. And so most people don't say anything."
    “People will lose 20 years over one night.”

      Its a new fad. Remember a couple decades ago when men were "suppressing a woman's inner goddess"? Same kind of thing. You'll notice right away that a single black sheep in the family will always decide their parents, siblings, boss, and any spouse or ex is a narcissist. Its mostly used as a social pain reliever for divorce. Obviously if they were a narcissist who tricked you into marriage, THEY are the one who made you start to break the promise to stay forever. Even if you serve the divorce papers, you have already primed everyone else to know that they divorced you emotionally first.
      Feeling like you are losing your mind when dealing with others is completely normal. What do you use to evaluate your own sanity? People dont need to be crazy to disagree.

      @@Sleetstorm Your response is completely dismissive of the fact that people are suffering everyday at the hands of narcissists. It’s not a “new fad.” It’s only newly publicized. It’s now being talked about because narcs seldom believe their behaviors are problematic and don’t seek professional help. They do everything behind closed doors to maintain their image publicly. These decades-old behaviors finally have a name. The type of emotional, mental, psychological abuse is most times worse than getting physically abused. Their behavior is so sneaky and manipulative, it’s hard for anyone to believe you; they don’t believe your spouse could do such a thing or be such a person. You’re completely isolated at that point, a shell of the person you used to be, and literally made out to look like you’re crazy…that’s how these demons operate. To say “it’s a new fad” mocks those suffering for decades and didn’t know how to explain their messed up relationship/life. Now this deranged disorder and the traits of these abusers are being brought to light. People are completely valid in now discovering that something is very wrong and get the help they need to work through it and heal.

      Yeah, it’s like walking on eggshells to minimize any abuse or wondering when again the abuse is going to start again. The ruminating is about the injustice of it. You go over and over the interaction because you don’t understand why you are bringing abused and how you are supposed to cope with it. There’s a ring leader too amongst my siblings orchestrating a hate campaign against me.

But I kept going every day as he was playing victim and moved on with someone else inside my own home. As he was happy making a life someone else in my own house and laying next to me and neglected me and I neglected myself and lost myself worth value etc. but I had no clue what was going on as he had hidden Facebook with a whole life with her and his town friends and family. Over 300 Facebook friends and I knew no one. She was friends to all and introduce her to even my friends and his boss and co workers. I had no one. Just work and home. No life outside no friends no circle of support because he hovered over me every day but he will be on the phone with them for over 15 hrs and only interact with me from 5p till 9p after he gets home to say I am tired I am going to bed and that was it mon to fri.

    Dr. Ramani is so lovely! She is honest and wise and firm in what she knows! Whenever I listen to the video where Dr. Ramani is speaking, it feels like she is a personal therapist, as well as a parental figure who mirrors back to those of us who listen our experience, affirming our words, and understanding what we are going through. It is so vital to healing to have someone tell you they understand! I can’t say enough good things about her! Right now, I am reading her new book and loving it and highly recommend it to anyone who is in a relationship with a narcissist in any capacity. Thank you Lisa, and thank you, Dr. Ramani, for these informative, insightful and helpful videos! The Lord bless you both! 🙏🏻🕊️

    Years ago I didn't know anything about narcissistic behavior. I just knew that I was not going to put up with anyone who behaves like people in my family. However, even though I ended those toxic relationships in days, weeks, or seven or eight months, I still had regret that I put up with it for.that length of time. We should let that go, because people reveal themselves gradually over time, until things pile up, and now you know who they really are. Covert narcissist cann hide who they really are very well.

      I didn’t either. After decades of abuse by my siblings I have the same symptoms she describes within herself. I think it’s made me hyper vigilant towards manipulate tactics they use. The abuse has sent the messages to me that in order to be “ friends” with my “ siblings” I have to put up and shut up about the abuse. It’s like these people who should be my friends and sources of support, get the opposite. This Dr has given me the strength to set boundaries with them.

It is more psychological abusive to hear “ do you see how dumb you sound “ opposed to just being called stupid . It is insidious bc they will gaslight the hell out of you “ I didn’t say that “ yet now they just have us gaslighting ourselves ! I am such an idiot was the main phrase of most my life yet I wasn’t CALLED ONE OUT RIGHT . they get us to abuse ourselves and act like they have nothing to do w it !

It always need not be any abuse always.. I have so many in my expended family, that it seems hereditary and surely not all of them were abused because there is one in each nuclear family on every generation. ​@@ms.liszz.9206

    I can relate to not regretting leaving the relationship I never thought I could of given myself more and now knowing what I do I'm glad I went through it to know and experience and not make the same mistake I now no longer care or wonder what happened to my ex who was an abusive narcissist.

    Dr Ramani, thank you so much! Saying that when you are out in tge rain, you didn't create the wet. I have been for so long saying that so many therapists & psychiatrists treat people in a vacuum, as if everything is generated internally & outside interacts & abuse & neglect & gaslighting & confusing demands don't have anything to do with anxiety, depression, nightmares, & so much more.
    It is time for the medical worldto ask questions about home life, work life, & relationships.
    Thank you so, so much!

    I admire and respect you Dr. Ramani! I love all of your smart and informative videos! You remind me of my fathers sister, my aunt, who was a math teacher, guidance counselor, and worked for an attorney when she retired, she was smart, intelligent , and kind, just like my father was! I was so blessed to have them in my life. I encouraged my daughter to get an education, she has just graduated from a university with a bachelor's degree! Such a wonderful accomplishment for her, I am so proud of her! I hope to go back to school eventually too, to get a degree myself! Thank you Dr. Ramani I appreciate you so very much for all of your help on this topic!❣️

    I’m 48, single daughter of a profoundly narcissistic mother and a dad who went from doormat to narcissist (don’t even know what you call this)… years later, meet the narc ex who was simply familiar, ‘more of the same’. Luckily, after 3 years of marriage, my son was born and all I new is that I had to get out. There’s no way I was going to allow him to be treated like that or, even worse model that type of behaviour. He was 10 months when I left, twelve years later I haven’t regret it for a single day. There might be self doubt but, deep down inside, I know it was simply too toxic!

    For me it took being a cancer survivor to get to the point of not caring what other people think and doing what makes me happy. Of course it’s a daily process because people pleasing tendencies are so ingrained in us, especially as a woman. I did date a narcissist for three years and I’m still healing from the emotional abuse I endured from him. Love this interview thanks ❤

    The rumination is something six months later I still am going through. She cheated, denied, and lied and told me I was crazy. She would never admit it. I asked her just to tell me if she was and she called me boring. She finally left me and made me feel like it was my fault. I never understood how I was dropped like I never mattered. Her friend was the one who finally told me about everything simply because she also eventually screwed her friend over in business. Turns out she left me so the new man would not find out about me. All the time and effort I put in for love was for nothing.

    When I started dating a love bombing narcissist I'd never even heard of a narcissist. Scariest, worst relationship I've ever had !!! For about a year I dated him. I can't imagine the damage it does to someone that's been in a LONG term relationship and has children with a narcissist my Lord 🙏🏽 I've been single and celibate since and that was 12 years ago!! I started listening to Dr R , also a couple other doctors and that's when I finally understood what I'd gotten myself involved in. I literally had to escape ✈️ then go to the police 🚓🚨 to make the sick narcissist stop stalking me !!! 3 years of healing from this crazy dude after a 1 year relationship!! He'd been talking about us moving in together and thank God I didn't agree on that , never wanted to live together with a man unless we were married since I bought my own home. So thankful I also turned down his marriage proposal twice!!

    And yes it can for sure be a very different depth and empathy when you have gone through that stuff AND studied it for your whole life... I do think there might be excellent therapists with depth and empathy that have not gone through all that dirt, but i think they are exceptions. Really, it's hard to find excellent therapists when you have a high level of trauma.

AND You feel it coming ( so weird there’s a feeling of knowing or of growing boredom or something that seems to happen ) and then it’s done .
