Recap for Episode 5 Season 3: Nicholas

On this Recap, I talk about Narcissistic Family Dynamics. I share some personal stories and define some mental health terms to help us better understand these dynamics. Narcissism is typically quiet and behind closed doors. Many people suffer from Narcissistic abuse but do not have the freedom or safety to talk about it. My goal is to provide the insights and resources to help people heal from all types of trauma. Please tune in! *If you haven't already, go check out Episode 5 Season 3: Nicholas Fansher of NF Boxing!
