What keeps us trapped in toxic narcissistic relationships—and how can we finally break free? In this clip from my interview with Lindsey Miller, we uncover the hidden emotional forces and subtle dynamics that keep these patterns alive. Discover why mindfulness and containment aren’t just buzzwords but essential tools for healing, and why leaving is just the first step on a challenging journey toward reclaiming your true self. If you’ve ever felt "split", stuck, or unsure how to move forward, this conversation offers powerful insights and hope for real change.
