On this episode I’ll explain why narcissists are able to move on so quickly after the breakup of even a serious, long term relationship...

2. Why Narcissists are Able to Move On So Fast After Breakup

I decided to create a segment titled, "Myth Busting" because there's an overwhelming amount of false information posted all over the internet... causing unnecessary grief to survivors who need solid information to help support their healing. The myth we will be busting today is: Narcissists Do Not Have Empathy.

3. Myth Busting: Narcs Do Not Have Empathy

The holidays are here! I'm sharing ideas I personally used to survive the holidays post breakup.

4: Getting Through the Holidays Post Breakup

I added another segment titled, "Q&amp;A Tuesday" where I dedicate the entire episode answering listener questions. We're discussing:  Can narcissists love? Can they love their children? Should I warn the new victim? The narcissistic ex was active in their church and charitable causes. Does this mean s/he has the ability to care about others?  &lt; ! &gt; If you are in a life-threatening situation, call the 24-hr National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1.800.273.8255 or the 24-hr Crisis Text Line by texting “HELP” to 741-741.
