Once you have taken the enormous step to decide that you want to bring your relationship to an end you need to select the legal representation which is right for you.

Finding the best person (or team) to navigate a path through the inevitable twists and turns that you will face when removing yourself from a relationship with a narcissist is vital. You need someone who understands the pattern of behaviour and who can put forward a strategy that ensures as far as possible that you stay two steps ahead. It is a bit like playing a game of chess - you need to think about your moves in advance, always focussing on the end goal. The wrong person who doesn't understand what they are dealing with could inadvertently make things a lot more difficult - or worse still compound the abuse to which you have already been subjected.

In this episode Karin Walker examines the criteria that you will need to consider and provides her 'top tips' to ensure that you find the support and advice that you need.

In this episode Karin Walker goes right back to basics and explores the behaviour patterns which are likely to be demonstrated by someone who suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

Narcissists and very charming and charismatic. They are expert at luring someone into a relationship with them - often very quickly. They will make you feel like you have found your soulmate. The relationship will often move at a very quick pace and you will feel literally 'swept off your feet'.

But then slowly the 'devaluing' phase will begin and they will chip away at your self esteem - the intention being to make you totally dependent upon them. They will try to keep you away from your family and friends so that you become increasingly isolated. they will want you to be completely under their control.

It is extremely difficult to break away from a Narcissist as you will have become trauma-bonded to them rather like an addiction. You are desperate for their approval and will be constantly striving to regain the feeling you had when you first met.

If any of this sounds familiar this podcast is for you. Or if your relationship doesn't feel right; if you feel like you are constantly walking on eggshells - you may want to learn more about the behaviour patterns demonstrated by the Narcissist.

Narcissists behave in a very particular way. Once you are able to understand the pattern of behaviour you will be able to predict what they are going to do and how to manage your own response. This podcast will provide you with invaluable tools to protect yourself from narcissistic abuse
