    The relationship changes people. It changed me enormously. I will always be healing and learning from it. I am a different person. I will look into the class.

  • @jimschutz says:

    I had a therapist that was comparable to Dr. Ramani 30 years ago. Dr. David Drapes helped me to understand the effects of a narcissist.

  • @jeffschmitt5866 says:

    A lifetime in some cases… the more you learn about how powerful narcissistic relationships can be it can take alot of time.

  • @haber70a says:

    Being left was just like someone stood up and went to the bathroom. All the confusion is the worst. That really messes up your head. But when you are back over the surface again I’m sure you’ll be better at knowing what relations you need. ❤

  • @FreePalestineEndZionism says:

    Thank you Dr Ramani. A therapist said it takes only 6 months to heal! 🤨🤭
    “You should be better by now. It’s been 6 months. That means you must not be doing the breath work.”
    They jumped to conclusion. They didn’t even ask me about the breath-work.
    However, I had proof of the breath-work on my watch app, which monitors it.
    There is no one specific timing of healing. Some therapists are too rigid and they take it personally if you don’t recover within 6 months and esp if you have autism, it may take extra time.

    • @FreePalestineEndZionism says:

      I’m so grateful for Dr Ramani, Gabor Mate & Sam Vaknin for sharing this vital information on narcissistic abuse.

      ​@@FreePalestineEndZionism Hopefully as you grow, you will realize that hate and pushing people’s triggers is never the way. At least to anything positive, that is.

    • @jg-bf7ik says:

      ​@@FreePalestineEndZionism And by the way, I like and agree with and can relate to what you said in your comments. And I’m glad you’re putting that out there. It’s really positive.
      Just calling your attention to the extreme negative you are also putting out there at the same time…

    • @MegaRose1958 says:

      I don’t know why anyone would tell you six months! I feel you are still just trying to process exactly what you went thru after six months! It’s been three years now for me that I ended my Toxic Relationship and I often think how could this person appear on one hand to have been so thoughtful, but also at the end have been so controlling, vindictive, and do evil things!

    Fortunately…my experience was rarely negative. Once he told me, very early on, that I was groomable so I spent the next yrs wasting his time…just to show him who really was groomable. I was a transactional enabler.

    Lets all admit Dr ramani saved our lives,,yesterday i was watching her on an episode with lewis howes she emphasized we should not forgive narcissists ,,let go of the resentment but don’t forgive them

  • @emilyyates6303 says:

    It changes you completely. You heal, but your never the same person you were before the relationship. Healing does prevent you falling for it again though.

  • @craigmerkey8518 says:

    It is so interesting how the symptoms pop up intermittently !

      You may find that extra years pass that you notice more changes.

    • @melmatthews5876 says:

      @daniellatan9016 I must say that i absolutely agree with you. There are only 3 people in my life who understand the damage that being in a relationship with a narcissist causes.
      My wonderful, compassionate, parents and my, incredible, therapist.
      After I got away from the narcissist in my life I lost friends, and even some family. They wouldn’t believe that this person was so dangerous and toxic because the narcissist was a family member, and we all know how easily narcissists can get people to believe them. So, yes, you are absolutely right. You’ll be lucky if anyone believes you at all, or else they’ll side with the narcissist.
      I think the best thing is to somehow get away from the narcissist, and their enablers, don’t talk about it to anyone, except people who have witnessed the abuse, or who have experienced it themselves. Then, if possible, try to get a therapist who specialises in narcissistic abuse. Other than that, you’re on your own. Sorry for such a long message but you are absolutely right.

    I suppose that depends on one’s definition of “heal” … I have come to realize it’s more of a “you learn to suck it up” than undoing the damages done sort of thing.

    It took me 7 years to feel healed from 24 years with a sociopath. Professional therapy weekly. So much work.

  • @moonlitorchid2136 says:

    I’m one of the fortunate ones that married a man who has also been put through the ringer by multiple narcissists, too. It took a lot of trust building, but we’re in an incredibly healthy marriage. ❤

  • @ellisburton8733 says:

    Depends on all sorts of issues I imagine….and comes in fits and starts. These videos are so helpful if you really dont have spare cash. I found things like reading, crafts, some TV (especially certain old films I love). But take it slow coz there will be sneaky triggers 🤦‍♂️. Crafts even the simplest of sewing are good, easy, cheap and engage mind, and fingers, walking is good. Anything inexpensive is a godsend it they have messed up your financials. Be firm with yourself to get out of the pattern of rumination (a total bummer). Joining new groups didnt help, but maybe it was too early. Recovery reminds me of a cross between taking down an old house building a new smaller dwelling and discovering an archaeological site by the back door. Healing, building and discovering the authentic you things and the new you. Some of us really dont have the option but to do it alone, but maybe we’re the pioneers that will help others.

  • @sazu9953 says:

    After 7 years being out of that relationship, 6 months of antidepressants and 14 months of CBT I still don’t dare to date. It has been one of the worst and most dehumanising experiences of my life, and being my first and only relationship, I really don’t feel the urge to step into another one.

  • @Tapa_tapa_123 says:

    You’re never in a “relationship” with a narcissist. You are in a toxic dynamic. At least that’s how it’s felt for me. “Relationship” implies mutual support, empathy, reciprocity. “Working things out” cannot happen. Only escape. It took me a very long time to understand this deeply enough to finally leave.

  • @nonotnoah says:

    You’re like an angel who literally came on my YouTube feed to open my eyes and save me. Thank you for doing what you do!
