Hi Kati,

I have seen major shifts with NARP for people with MS (as well as any health issue imaginable). I truly do believe that there are trauma programs underpinning pretty much every dis-ease, and therefore targeting the trauma generating your symptoms (regardless of whether or not it is MS) directly internally can create profound shifts as well as solutions coming in from the Field.

I would highly recommend this route.

I hope that this helps and much love to you!

Mel 🙏💞🦋]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Melanie ,

Thank you for your wisdom.
And thank you people for all your comments.
This Narc world we are discussing is like a secret garden.
Most people are unaware of all this malignant nastiness that hides in families and relationships.
Yes, we see it and we guess something is amiss but not enough people are aware of exactly what is happening and how Narcs manipulate those around them to get their fix of supply.
Their Narc tactics are strangely so very similar.
Their play books cut and pasted ; they are so identical.
My ageing father is the Narc.My older sister the golden child / covert Narc.
My mother divorced him decades ago and then died several years later after remarrying.
She became a social worker and got a degree in Sociology.
She never told me but I think she worked out what his problem was after some marriage guidance sessions , that failed.
In 1997 , I discovered the internet and started to look at the behaviour of my Narc father.
It didn’t take too long.
A few months of research and I was putting it all together.
After 25 years of reading and observing,  I am still shocked that these people are allowed to wander around , freely.
I watch the likes of Donald Trump and think.., ‘should be locked up , immediately.’
After 25 years of knowing about my Narc father’s game book I really want to hold a conference and explain to my family what is happening.
Would love to do that just to see their faces.
Doesn’t anyone see how they are ‘Janus’ like ?
Doesn’t anyone see their malignant evilness ?

How will it end…?

Who knows.

He is approaching final stage kidney failure.

Maybe 3 more months.

He is planning another discard.

There have been many.

I have been hoovered a few times.

This will sound bad , but I just want to know  he is dead,  so I know he is over…

Melanie , once again thanks and have a Cool Yule…]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hi Melanie:
I grew up with a narcissist father, and now I&#039;ve picked someone to be in my life that is a huuuuuuuuuuuuge narcissist! It has been really rough getting away from this man. I know that I don&#039;t want the relationship anymore, I just don&#039;t know how to tell him. I only wrote to speak of how VERY many holidays I spent with my father, and it never stopped. He would always make a scene during the holidays, etc. In fact, every time we ever went out, he made a scene...So, maybe for NEW Year this year I&#039;d rid myself of this narc!]]></description>

Hi Sandra,
   If you can go do your own thing with a friend or go have dinner out or go to a destination you want to visit, do it!!  I totally get it takes 3 months to shake it off. My mom lives a few blocks away and thinks that I am to respect her, even though she talks horribly about me and my family to her friends and only sister. I&#039;m over it. I have no respect for her and have said so.  In recent years, I have started traveling to where I want to go,  another thing she completely resents and thinks her needs are being ignored if I leave town.  She is not disabled, other than being a narc.  My father has physical limitations and uses a wheelchair, neither one of them will hire help....In reality that does make them disabled and then they try and make everyone else pay for their deficient thinking and horrible actions.  I wish you well and send you prayers Sandra and hope you make the holidays yours and forget about what the narc expects.  Life is to short to put up with this crap.]]></description>
