"You need to be tactical about leaving this relationship. It's not just about walking away; it's about doing it safely."
Leaving a relationship with someone who shows narcissistic tendencies can feel like an uphill battle. In this episode of The Relationship Recovery Podcast, hosts Kierstyn Franklin and Tiffany Denny tackle the complex and often painful process of exiting such toxic relationships. Drawing from their personal experiences and extensive work with clients, they offer a step-by-step guide to help you navigate this challenging journey safely and effectively. Kierstyn and Tiffany start by stressing the importance of acknowledging that there's a problem.
It might seem obvious, but recognising that your partner's behaviour is harmful is the first crucial step. They also discuss the necessity of seeking support, whether through friends, family, or professional resources like their own coaching services and membership programmes. One standout piece of advice is to create a 'book of truths' – a personal record where you document incidents and your feelings.
This helps counteract the gaslighting that often accompanies narcissistic relationships, providing a reality check when you need it most. They also emphasise the need for practical preparations: gathering important documents, having a change of clothes ready, and making sure you have any necessary medications on hand. Setting boundaries is another key topic. The hosts explain how to establish clear limits with your ex-partner, whether that means no contact at all or using tools like co-parenting apps to manage interactions.
They also touch on the legal aspects, advising listeners to seek legal counsel if necessary. This episode is packed with actionable advice and emotional support, making it an invaluable resource for anyone struggling to leave a narcissistic partner. Kierstyn and Tiffany’s compassionate approach ensures you don’t feel alone in your journey. So if you're looking for practical steps and heartfelt encouragement, this episode is a must-listen. Why not take the first step towards a healthier future?
Tune in to find out how you can safely leave a toxic relationship and start your journey to recovery.
