Hario Ovatop
Narcissist Expert
Just a phenomenal show last night with @hardwork_guarantz_6ess speaking on killing the hope when dealing with a narcissist!
.
As he went through the different characteristics of a narcissist, sharing the clues as to how to identify that you are dealing with one and the harm they bring to your life, one thing was very clear, 'kill the Hope' in thinking that they will change! He's spreading this word by talking about his own experience and the personal information he has acquired by dealing with a narcissist. There's no change for them, they enjoy bringing harm to your life and sucking your energy. So sad.
.
A tough pill to swallow if you are an empath, but a necessary one. In order to heal you must start from within, get your life in order and keep grinding. Coaching and therapy was also suggested as well. Reach out to @hardwork_guarantz_6ess to get started, he's on IG FB and YouTube doing his thing speaking truth, and exposing the narc for who they are.

Awesome interview last night, although IG was playing and didn't record it, was super informative and useful dime pieces to reflect on. Thank you for tuning in and HUGE THANKS to my guest Hario for joining the conversation!
