&quot;I tried doing Module One at least five times.&quot;

Five times?! How about one hundred and fifty five times?  

I wonder how assiduously you applied yourself to NARP if it took you longer than thirty days to decide that it wasn&#039;t working for you.  I tore into the stuff and I didn&#039;t let up.  I kept playing the modules night and day, asleep and awake, sitting down, walking and running, any time at all that I wasn&#039;t involved in an activity that require my full attention - such as my job, until one late night, about a month later, completely broken and despairing, I broke through.  I experienced my very first NARP shift.  

You quit too soon, Mariane.  Rather than emailing and fighting to get your money back, you would have been better off and made far better use of your time had you just kept replaying Module One over, and over and over again until you &quot;got it.&quot;  Because I guarantee you this - you would have.

					<description><![CDATA[Thank you so much for this article.. Its exactly what I needed.. I&#039;ve been thinking a lot lately about this relationship I have sustained for 9 years (Im now 32) financing an unemployed verbal abuser for the past year. Sure he is nice every now and then but to be truthful it was his face that I fell in love with.. yes.. how shallow.. his beauty.  so I face my shallowness head on.. It was my patience and resilience that has taken us this far.. my stubbornness to see things through to the bitter end. But enough is enough. I feel my biological clock tick so loud and know I cannot breed with such a volatile human.. yet I know I can&#039;t breed myself! I have a war in my own mind! I&#039;m a walking civil war.. it would be irresponsible to procreate! Its almost as though I have hung onto this toxicity out of utter fear of growing into a mother.. and yes! I think I have! I truly do think everything has its purpose.. I&#039;ve learnt I too am narcissistic.. It&#039;s narcissistic to believe someone will change for me, or become the lines they throw out to appease me every now and then. Its narcissistic of me to expect someone to fulfil a role I myself am just faking. So thank you for this article.. because I think (as tears rolled down my face) I think you have awakened my inner genie and she wants to break free. I choose growth. I choose acknowledgment over blame. I&#039;m here for a reason and I&#039;m willing to find out what it is I need to learn, remember and own.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Melanie,
I&#039;ve been reading your articles for about a month now and although the journey is still incredibly difficult, it no longer feels debilitating. I continue to work on addressing my inner wounds and I have gained so much clarity. I still struggle with trying to make that clarity stick in my consciousness, but I know how to remind myself that what I&#039;m experiencing isn&#039;t a result of me being a lesser person. I just have to find and embrace love for myself rather than searching for that in others. I have broken no-contact and I did return to the narcissist because his apology seemed so authentic. And for a while he seemed like a wonderful partner. Because of the soul searching I had done, I felt stronger, more confident, and I didn&#039;t feel as scared anymore. Things seemed to be going well for us until the day I turned to him with a problem I was experiencing. I showed weakness and within hours he resorted to his former behavior. I ended our relationship, which I&#039;ve done before, but something is different this time. I don&#039;t feel like I&#039;m suffocating. I feel sad, and I&#039;ve cried. But I&#039;ve spent more time talking to my inner child...reminding her that she is worthy just for being her. I&#039;ve thought about the misconceptions I formed as a child about love and value based on my relationship with my parents. I&#039;ve seen where I formed the misconceptions about my value. I would be lying if I said that a part of me isn&#039;t waiting for the narcissist to reach out to me and come back to me. I do miss the &quot;him&quot; that appears to be loving and kind. I miss the idea of the life I thought we would have in those good moments when he made promises to me. But I&#039;m working hard to remind myself of the totality of who he is and to truly accept that he is not someone I should have in my life. This is one of the hardest processes I&#039;ve been though but I am happy that I&#039;ve started to move towards thinking more along the lines of the thriver mentality whereas I know I was definitely in victim mode even just two months ago. Thank you.]]></description>
