Hey, babe, I'm sure you saw the last video about narcissistic personality disorder. And what do you do if you have a loved one or a partner that is struggling with narcissism? And we didn't have time in the 60 seconds to go over what to do. And so today I want to share with you just really briefly that with narcissistic personality disorder is just know that this is a symptom of suffering in the person that you know and love and that the most important, helpful thing that you can do for yourself and for them is to have really good boundaries and knowing where your personal limits are. And sometimes this is going to cause incredible distress in these individuals. But consistently honoring yourself and honoring your boundaries and knowing where you stand is going to be a game changer. Because of the nature of their illness, they're not going to be able to do that for you. It takes a lot of self awareness and self work to grow as a human. And oftentimes in narcissism, they don't think that there's any growing that they need to do. So have good boundaries, my love, and know that you are valuable and that you've got this.
