In this episode, Danish Bashir, a Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Professional, dives into the complex and often painful world of dealing with narcissists, especially when no-contact isn't an option. Imagine you're co-parenting with a narcissist – it’s a scenario many find themselves in, and Danish offers a lifeline with his '5Ds' strategy: Deflect, Disengage, Decline, Document, and Decide to be your best self.
These steps are designed to help you protect your mental and emotional health while navigating interactions with a narcissist. Danish explains how deflecting involves not taking the narcissist's words personally and visualising a psychological barrier that bounces their negativity back at them. He also highlights the importance of disengaging from toxic conversations and setting firm boundaries. Declining their manipulative attempts to re-enter your life is another crucial step in maintaining your independence.
Documenting both positive interactions with your children and the narcissist's negative behaviours can be essential for legal disputes or simply keeping your sanity intact. Finally, Danish emphasises deciding to be your best self, prioritising your well-being above all else. This episode is packed with practical advice and exercises to help you regain control and thrive despite the challenges posed by a narcissist. If you're struggling to maintain your peace while dealing with a narcissist, this episode is a must-listen.
It’s not just about surviving – it’s about thriving and reclaiming your life.
