I have been able to have coffee in a public place which is huge for me so again thank you for showing me that I have a wonderful life loving my true self]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://blog.melanietoniaevans.com/thriving-after-narcissistic-abuse-story-15-laurie/#comment-470990&quot;&gt;Raeanne&lt;/a&gt;.

Hi Raeanne,
Yes, there were ups and downs, particularly at the beginning of the NARP program when I started to feel relief and all I wanted to do was spend time releasing. I had to parent and carry on with normal life, and u was impatient to get the work done and feel better. So yes, I remember having a shorter fuse than usual at first, but the more work I did and the more layers I peeled back, the more and more peace I felt, until the pain was a memory I could only remember and not conjure as a feeling.
Same is true with the anger toward the narc. One of the modules has you write a letter to the narc and I remember raging internally that day at all the things I now saw. But once again, releasing meant an end to all of those feelings and I actually send him light and thanks now because my experience with him sparked the major change in my life.
Hoping this helps.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I am wondering Laurie... during your recovery did you find yourself having some good days and some not so good days? Some days I wake up angry until I NARP it out of me. Also, did you find that the smallest things Narc would say upset you? The more I see... the more I feel everything he does is narc-y. They have so many subtle tricks many times cloaked in &quot;nice&quot; when really they are self serving.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi melanie and all other lovely Narc -free people!             I&#039;m amazed At the wonderful insights, revelations, empathy and words of strength and advice that Just seem to&#039; magically appear on your site, melanie, right as i need them. The universe is so timely! In fact i love the Message that referred to&#039; bringing  that inner love wherever we Are and not having to&#039; &#039;get&#039; it externally, because i am now sitting by myself in a beautiful busy italian cafe on my own, and i am fine with thisbecause i know that unlike before when i was with narc and similar friends at a dinner out, i had bouts of lonliness anyway. Now i enjoy &#038; am strengthed by my own company as part of healing. Again, I am  truly amazed by the uncanny timing of your articles! I think    that    once the toxic narcs Are out of our life, our intuitve   Spirit is free to&#039; Work With us and helps us , as exemplified by your fabulous site! Love it! Much much gratitude to&#039; you and everyone else contributing their experiences xoxi]]></description>

Hi Raeanne,
I&#039;m glad the radio show gave you an aha moment...
Yes, NARCS feed off other people because they don&#039;t have an inner identity of their own. I have heard the term &quot;Psychic Vampires,&quot; used to describe them, which resonates for me. The good news is that as you keep doing the healing work (kudos to you for working so hard!), that you are no longer an attraction point for the narc. 
I wish you continued relief and magical changes in your life!]]></description>

Hi Kathy,

It is so good that you are realising that there is the need to go within and do the real healing on these wounds.

As soon as we commit and get started, we are on a path towards wellbeing.

It&#039;s not always easy, there are many parts of us we face to release...yet FINALLY we know we are breaking free from the &#039;I just can&#039;t do this anymore&#039;.

We are on a direct path to evolving ourselves.

Kathy, I am booked out always now 8 weeks in advance, and soon that gap is going to get longer.

You are welcome to book sessions with me if you don&#039;t mind waiting, however I recommend to all of my clients strongly that they are on NARP, to be working on themselves daily if necessary rather than just having once a week sessions with me.

This combination for those wanting extra support is powerful.

Here is the link to book sessions with me.

Also on NARP you have the community forum, incredible insight and support from other NARP Members as well as Thrivers.

https://www.melanietoniaevans.com/member/forum

NARP and the support forum can happen immediately for you Kathy, and that&#039;s vital to understand.

I hope this helps.
