In this episode, Danish Bashir, a Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Professional, explores the intriguing connection between our physical environment and our healing journey.

Additionally, Danish touches on the necessity of distancing yourself from toxic relationships. Whether it's narcissistic friends, colleagues, or family members, letting go of these connections is vital for your mental health.
