The effects of narcissistic abuse can be devastating, not only to the relationship, but to our sense of self and who we are. In this episode, Lyn talks to relationship coach and bounce-back specialist, Marie T Fraser, about the ways in which we can rebuild and come back stronger. KEY TAKEAWAYS The first step in rebuilding is to acknowledge that we have been hurt, and having the courage to speak out in some way. Don't let shame stop you seeking help or advice. There is usually a great sense of self-blame suffered by those in the aftermath of narcissist abuse. By vocalising, we can help others to recognise that they are not alone. A common narcissistic sign to watch out for, is the initial period of "love-bombing", which makes victims feel special and that they are the only thing that matters. The best course of action is to always listen to our inner voice - our gut reaction is there to steer us away from danger. BEST MOMENTS 'A lot of women and men suffer in silence' 'A narcissist never thinks they are wrong. They will try to convince you that black is white' 'The damage they can do is incredibly pervasive' 'You lose the confidence to trust your instincts'  VALUABLE RESOURCES Hearts Entwined Podcast Apple Podcasts (iTunes) Spotify Stitcher  ABOUT THE GUEST Marie T Fraser Marie spent many years in demanding corporate positions managing international law firms in London.  She was married for 27 years to a narcissist and has two children, one of whom is disabled.
