Empaths attract narcissistic partners as a mirror showing unclaimed personal power. The relationship reveals where you haven't set boundaries or stood up for yourself. Reclaiming your energy means learning to say no, express your true feelings, and end unhealthy dynamics.
Chapters
The main reason you attracted that narcissistic or controlling person into your life was to help you become aware of your own frame of reality. Because very often empaths or people that can feel many other people's energies easily, their lesson for them and their opportunity for growth is to actually stand up for themselves. It's actually to stay in their own body and not just kind of falter to what everyone else wants them to do. So what ends up happening is you attracted this person into your life to show you all the parts of yourself that you haven't been standing up for yourself in. And what happens is as you start to claim that energy back, you start to get in your own power, and then you have the power to say no to that energy. You have the power to end the relationship or to express how you really feel. And you see, that was the lesson all along. For you to step into your power, for you to claim your sovereignty, for you to realize that you don't have to be on eggshells around people.
