Losing Yourself in a Narcissistic Relationshi...
When you're in a narcissistic relationship, your world quietly starts to shrink.
"90% of the thoughts you have today, you had yesterday. You are not thinking solutions, you're digging holes."
How many times have you found yourself stuck in the same pattern, facing the same struggle, only with a new face or a different setting?
Here’s the hard truth: if your beliefs don’t change, your solutions won’t either.
You’ll keep meeting life with the same thinking that created the problem - and then wonder why you’re still in pain.
I see it all the time with my clients: intelligent, intuitive, capable people who feel exhausted and lost, not because they’re failing - but because they’re thinking through yesterday’s lens.
To move forward, you must believe something new about yourself.
You must believe that you are worthy of peace. That clarity is possible. That self-trust can be rebuilt. And that your value was never tied to how hard you struggle.
New outcomes require new beliefs. And new beliefs start the moment you say: I’m done digging. I’m ready to build.
You deserve a life that doesn’t repeat. You deserve one that rises.
