Narcissist-Empath Recovery
Do you feel lonely inside your relationship, but can’t quite grasp why?
It may be that you are caught in a narcissist-empath dynamic, feeling like a victim of the one who is supposed to cherish and protect you.
Or maybe you’ve recently ended such a painful relationship and now you’re looking to heal and understand.
First of all, I hold my hand to my heart and bow my head to you, because I know the depths of that suffering and confusion. It’s a stressful, lonesome place. It’s a relief to know that you’re not alone and there is a way out of that tense situation.
The truth is, it’s not personal. Neither you nor the other person is an ~Empath~ or a Narcissist™—you’re just caught inside an old childhood survival strategy that turns into our unhealthy way of loving and being loved. Once you understand your role in this pattern, you can break the cycle, and return to shared peace and appreciation. Nobody’s the bad guy here. It’s more as if two children are playing house, but nobody taught them these particular rules of how to care for one another. (We are all children inside, and we are all learning gentler and truer ways of loving—show me yours and I’ll show you mine.)
In this session, we will open a space of trust to make room for the full story. No judgment, just awareness. Then I’ll bring your imagination to some of the choice points where you can make a different decision and respond to the situation with more spaciousness, grace, and self-love. It’ll start off heavy but we will bring the light. We might even laugh about it. It’s okay if we cry about it too. :)
