Episode 51: How to Set Healthy Boundaries After Narcissism with Triptta Butkovich

Today we are talking about narcissism. What it is, what it isn't, how to spot it, & how to recover from a relationship with a narcissist. Narcissistic people have traits such as a lack of empathy, extreme sensitivity, and manipulative behavior that could lead to an abusive relationship. So what do we do? Should we leave them and stay away? What if we can't? And if we can't, how can we set healthy boundaries with them?

This is a heavy topic, so to help me with it I've brought in an expert on this topic in my podcast and help us learn how to set healthy boundaries after narcissism. It is such an honor to introduce to you Trippta Butkovich who is an Emotional Resilience Coach. She has dedicated her life to helping people recover from narcissistic abuse as she was married to a narcissistic husband before. Her experiences will help you navigate the relationships in your life that have been affected by narcissism, whether they be with your partner, your parents, or others.

Here's a summary of what we talked about:

  1. Narcissism and the different types

  2. Setting your boundaries especially to help manage an abusive relationship better (as you exit & afterward)

  3. Recovering from narcissistic abuse

  4. Co-parenting with a narcissist

While our discussion does focus on partner relationships, I know that many of you are recovering from a narcissistic parent, so we touch on that as well; and many of the tips apply no matter the relationship.
