What if I was raised by 2 narcissists and almost every relationship I&#039;ve ever had has been narcissistic including my marriage of 12 years. I&#039;ve just learned in the past year what all this is and means and I&#039;m in a complete fog and I can barely get out of bed most days. I&#039;m in total survivor mode...can this really help me? I feel so trapped and afraid all the time. I&#039;m afraid to even be writing this.]]></description>

Hi Deb,

please know that truly &#039;what they are&#039; is not that vital.

What IS vital is us being clear about our boundaries, values and truths and living them, and then we see who can be healthy and meet us, and who can&#039;t (regardless of their label), and  through this deep self-recovery we also lose all pain and regret about those who are not a match with our core anymore.

So for example your values would be honesty, loyalty, ability to work through things ... and so much more.

That is the REAL work, getting clear on your deservedness, who you are, and how to generate healthy relationships, with healthy people. it isn&#039;t about trying to work out THEM! (Of course, I understand that I used to do it myself!)

Deb please come into my free webinar - www.melanietoniaevans.com/freewebinar

It will help you truly embody this, and work it through to clarity.

Mel 🙏💕💛]]></description>

Hi Iris hun,

It really is so true - those words of yours are so powerful &#039;Forgiveness is impossible without returning to Source. That’s where we begin to see things as they truly eternally have always been, and we are free from suffering.&#039;

It&#039;s so true that NARP gets us there, to that place we can&#039;t go in our own head and emotions without such a shift..

So much love to you and thank you for your beautiful words.

Grateful for you!

Mel 🙏💕💛]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Hello Melanie,
I am just starting to read your book and listen to your videos. I have one question. You say only apply 10% of your time to learning about narcissism and I understand this. However, the problem I am having, even as I read and learn, is questioning my perceptions. I think &quot;yes, this explains it&quot;, but then I find it difficult to assign that explanation to my soon to be ex wife, because it&#039;s so hard to believe that she could be truly wired that way, without empathy and compassion (and then I even question whether I am the narcissist, because I have done some of the things I am reading about. Yet, I know I have empathy, so I have to keep reminding myself of that). 

IF she is a narcissist, she would be what they call a &quot;covert narcissist&quot;, as it was  all pretty hidden and subtle. It wasn&#039;t until the discard that I saw this totally different side to her, though now I see other things that were not as obvious to me, from during the relationship. My question is, how do I trust my perceptions regarding all of this? One of the things that happened to me, as a result of the 7 year relationship, was that I started doubting my perceptions and even started believing that I was &quot;the crazy one&quot;. Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thank you.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[So grateful for this!  

Melanie, you&#039;re the only one telling people how this Narc relationship experience is NO ordinary breakup and requires no ORDINARY solution for recovery.

Deeply grateful for God giving you this grace to reach others, lead them through the process of finding their freedom, and continuing to support their evolution through these posts.

Truly, deliverance from suffering comes from God.  

We are made whole with TRUTH itself and find that no condemnation of ourselves or the Narc is necessary.  

Unless we return to the original place of Spiritual Origin, - which is what the NARP modules help us embody again, we can not breathe freely without pain, sorrow, tears, mourning or fear due to human conditions.  Forgiveness is impossible without returning to Source. That&#039;s where we begin to see things as they truly eternally have always been, and we are free from suffering.

We find ourselves free, clean and at peace. We also can see the actual innocence of all other people buried under layers of human stories.  We are equipped and empowered to encourage everyone based on actual successful healing.

NARP  is a door for the brokenhearted to access the Field consciously.

Thank you for all you are doing for the world. You&#039;re publishing GOOD NEWS!]]></description>
