I had a dream last night that I felt was quite interesting. In my dream a friend was over visiting and I was talking about how distraught I was over my husband’s recent behavior. It was very narcissistic. He had become aloof, detached, condescending, and playing head-games that were making my mind spin. As I […]
The work I do is Counseling others through the tragedies of narcissistic abuse.
