Description

Hey, Survivor!



How do you protect your peace, when narcissistic or toxic people disguise abuse as “teasing?”  In this episode, I’m revisiting the teasing narrative, after hearing from a survivor who was subjected to this behavior at a graduation party.  I’ll share tips and insights on how to identify, navigate and heal, while casting off guilt, shame, and confusion.  You’re worthy of respect!


If you, or someone you know, have been force-fed a teasing narrative after narcissistic abuse,, this episode is for you.


Know who you're dealing with.  Know who you are.


💚Lesley
