Small Steps Lead to Big Change

Dr. Becky Kennedy shared on a podcast with Andrew Huberman that her grade school teacher used to say to her:

“If something feels too hard to start, it just means the first step isn’t small enough.”

She remembers this being such a powerful thought and tool for her growing up and especially now in her adulhood as she coaches hundreds in parenting and mental health struggles.

In therapy, we often help clients shrink the size of the first step so success feels possible. When something feels too overwhelming, it’s usually not motivation that’s missing — it’s scalability.

For establishing a new workout routine: Instead of committing to the gym every day → try walking around the block twice a week.

For reengaging back into a religious community: Instead of attending weekly two-hour services → start by going once a month for 15 minutes.

The goal isn’t perfection — it’s momentum.
Small, consistent steps build confidence, create progress, and make change sustainable.

Start where success feels possible — and grow from there. 🌱

A Narcissist’s Love is a Performance

A narcissist’s love is a stage-performance: every smile, apology, and vulnerability is intended to secure your devotion — not to share a real connection, but to hold you captive in their illusion.

I was in a college musical where the lead actor completely stole my attention. On stage, his character was witty, charming, and magnetic. I fell for it quickly, and as rehearsals went on, we began dating.

But when the show ended, reality set in. The man I was dating was nothing like the character he played. We realized we had nothing in common and parted ways.

That experience taught me something: it’s easy to be drawn in by a performance!!

With actors, it’s harmless — with narcissists, it can be devastating. Many people describe the start of a relationship with a narcissist as intoxicating, only to feel confused, betrayed, or “duped” when the mask eventually slips.

Tips to avoid falling for a narcissist’s performance behaviors:

✔️Give relationships time — don’t rush.

✔️Don’t buy into promises; look for sustained, consistent change.

✔️Pay attention to how they describe past relationships and conflicts.

Remember: real love doesn’t require a script!!!!

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." – Carl Rogers

This quote hangs in my colleague’s office, , and I’m reminded of it often—both by seeing it every day when I pass by her open door AND through my daily work with my clients.

There is incredible power in facing reality—accepting what is true in ourselves and in others. When we stop playing the mental and relational games of avoidance and denial, we’re no longer expecting ourselves and others to be who we're not and they’re not. We can stop trying to convince ourselves and others that reality is not reality, and that is when transformation becomes possible.

Carl Rogers captured this truth beautifully, and we see the same message in modern voices like Dr. Ramani with her work on radical acceptance and Mel Robbins in her Let Them Theory.

Here are some powerful outcomes that emerge when we accept ourselves as we truly are:

Reduced inner conflict and greater peace of mind

Stronger resilience in facing challenges

Healthier, more authentic relationships

Increased clarity in decision-making

Less anxiety from trying to control the uncontrollable

More self-compassion and gentleness toward growth

True and lasting change becomes possible

The paradox reminds us that self-acceptance is not the end of growth—it’s the doorway to it. When we embrace who we are, flaws and all, we give ourselves the freedom to grow into everything we’re meant to be. Change doesn’t start with striving—it starts with acceptance of reality.

Couples Therapy or Individual Therapy?

After a decade of working with couples and individuals, I’ve seen a common theme: many relational struggles stem from individual trauma and past experiences.

Couples often come to therapy hoping to “fix” the relationship, but when one or both partners haven't explored their own individual wounds, progress often stalls out.

✨ Individual therapy can be a powerful precursor to meaningful couples work.

✨ Individual work can help uncover patterns, regulate emotions, and build awareness that directly impacts how we show up in an intimate partnership.

✨ Ethically, couples therapists should not become an individual therapist to either partner in conjunction with couple's therapy—so exploring individual work separately is often essential.

Sometimes, one partner is ready and committed to the process, while the other is going through the motions. That imbalance alone can make progress difficult.

If you're unsure which path is right for you, reach out to a qualified mental health professional to help assess your unique situation. There’s no one-size-fits-all in therapeutic healing. ❤️‍🩹

INSIGHT: The Key to Growth Many clients and individuals have asked me about the tattoo on my wrist — one simple but powerful word: INSIGHT.So what does it mean?Insight is the ability to intentionally achieve a deep understanding of oneself, others, and the situations we navigate in life. It’s more than just an awareness — it’s the ability to look within, to reflect deeply and honestly, and to recognize patterns, motivations, and truths that help guide us toward healthier choices.Sadly, for those with strong narcissistic traits, introspection and insight can be incredibly difficult. Without that internal mirror, meaningful change is often out of reach.Insight is so important to the therapy process that I not only wear it on my skin, but I also named my therapy practice after it: Insight Relationship Institute.Because insight unlocks doors — to reflection, to change, and to true emotional growth. The ability for introspection — to pause and examine our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions — is one of the most priceless parts of the human experience. It allows us to grow, heal, and evolve into more grounded and authentic versions of ourselves.Insight Relationship Institute480-535-0009This page is for psychoeducation only and does not provide psychotherapy.This page is not monitored 24/7.

Flipping the Script

Narcissists often utilize a pernicious tactic of “flipping the script” by portraying themselves as the victim in a toxic situation they were responsible for creating.

Rather than taking true accountability or making lasting change, they shift the narrative to manipulate and confuse the other person.

The narcissist ends up playing the victim in the chaos they created.

The partner on the receiving end may find themselves apologizing:

• for their reactions to mistreatment

• for setting a necessary boundary

• for something taken out of context

• for something that was never their fault

This manipulation tactic is designed to create self-doubt and destabilize the partner’s sense of reality.

🔁 Important reminder: Just because someone "flips the script" doesn’t mean the new narrative is true. Healthy relationships involve shared accountability—not emotional confusion or blame-shifting.

🚩Future Faking: A Narcissist’s Manipulation Tactic🚩

After repeated patterns of mistreatment, a narcissist may suddenly shift gears—not because they’ve changed, but because they fear losing control.

➡️ Enter: FUTURE FAKING

This manipulative tactic involves making grand promises about the future to reel a partner back in—without any real intention of following through.

🚩Common “future faking” statements:🚩

• “I’m going to propose. I just need a little more time.”
• “We’ll move in together—after I finish this project.”
• “I’ve changed. Let’s have a baby/start a family.”
• “Let’s travel the world together next year.”
• “Therapy? Yes, I’ve already looked into it.”
• “You’re the only one for me. We’ll grow old together.”

These promises often come after cheating, lying, or emotional withdrawal—leaving partners hopeful, confused, and stuck in the cycle.

“Future faking is a form of gaslighting. It builds up your hope with no intention of delivery, keeping you tethered to a fantasy instead of the reality in front of you.”
- Dr. Ramani Durvasula

‼️Remember:

Real change is consistent, long-term behaviors, not rehearsed words.

Cognitive Dissonance

Being in a toxic love relationship can feel like being trapped on an emotional rollercoaster — one minute you’re experiencing deep connection, passion, and intensity… the next, you’re the target of coldness, manipulation, or even cruelty.

This push-pull dynamic creates cognitive dissonance: your brain can’t make sense of how someone who says they love you can also hurt you so deeply. That mental and emotional conflict causes:

✔️Confusion

✔️Self-doubt

✔️Guilt and shame

✔️A trauma bond that’s hard to break

What many don’t realize: You can be traumatized by the good moments too. The intense highs create hope, causing you to minimize the lows. But these extremes condition your nervous system for chaos — not connection.

By the time the dynamic becomes clear, you’ve likely already invested — emotionally, physically, financially, or socially — making it even harder to leave.

Signs You May Be in a Toxic Love Relationship:

➡️Extreme highs and lows

➡️Love bombing followed by silent treatment or blame

➡️Frequent gaslighting (you question your own reality)

➡️You feel isolated or like you're "walking on eggshells"

➡️You’re constantly trying to “fix” yourself to earn their love

➡️Chronic emotional exhaustion

Rememer:

‼️You are not "too sensitive."

‼️You are not "crazy."

‼️You’re responding to a cycle of emotional inconsistency that changes you.

Healing begins when you stop trying to make sense of the person who wounded you and start making sense of yourself again.

The #1 worst question you can ask someone in a toxic or problematic relationship:

👉 “Why don’t you just leave?”

Sounds simple — but it's not.

Here’s why:
There are a million valid reasons someone may choose to stay:

💔 Fear
👶 Children
💸 Financial dependence
💭 Hope for change
🧠 Trauma bonding
😔 Shame or guilt
😰 Safety concerns

Asking “Why don’t you just leave?” often reflects our own discomfort — not the person’s reality. It implies judgment instead of support. It pushes for a “clean” resolution instead of holding space for a messy truth.

"The question we should be asking is not ‘why do they stay,’ but ‘how can I support them?’"
— Dr. Ramani Durvasula

Supportive Questions to Ask Instead:

✔️ “Do you feel safe right now?”
✔️ “How can I best support you today?”
✔️ “Would it help to talk through some options together?”
✔️ “What do you want or need right now?”
✔️ “I’m here for you — no pressure, no judgment.”
✔️ “Do you want me to help you find a therapist, shelter, or resources?”

Remember: Empowerment starts with listening — not fixing.

🫶 Be a safe space. You don’t need the answers. You just need to be present.

Narcissist Enablers: The Voices That Excuse Toxicity

Not all harm comes from the narcissist alone—some comes from the voices that protect them.

Narcissist Enablers are individuals who consistently excuse, dismiss, or minimize the toxic behaviors of a narcissist. Their words can leave you doubting your reality, even when you're trying to set healthy boundaries.

Here’s what enabling can sound like:

Family members saying, “Just keep the peace. Don’t cause drama.”

Religious leaders urging, “You need to forgive—holding onto that is sinful.”

Co-workers brushing it off with, “That’s just how they are. Don’t take it personally.”

Friends or peers claiming, “He’s just a hothead, he’ll cool off.”

Others minimizing harm, saying, “They didn’t mean any offense.”

These voices can be confusing, especially when you’re trying to protect your peace.

Reminder:

➡️ Trust your instincts.

➡️ Setting boundaries is not betrayal.

➡️ Peacekeeping at the cost of your own mental and emotional well-being is not sustainable or appropriate.

HEALING IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU DECIDING TO LEAVE OR STAY IN A NARCISSISTIC RELATIONSHIP

Survivors of narcissistic abuse often face immense pressure—not just from within, but from those around them—about whether they should stay or leave the relationship.

But healing isn’t only reserved for those who decide to walk away. It begins the moment a survivor faces radical acceptance about the reality of the relationship and decides they want a healthier way of existing—even if leaving isn’t yet (or ever) the chosen path.

There are very real, valid reasons someone might choose to stay—financial limitations, children, cultural beliefs, or simply needing more time. And no one should be shamed for that!!!!

Support shouldn’t be dependent on someone leaving.

Support should be rooted in compassion, not control.

Whether you’re healing inside the relationship or healing beyond it—you are not alone. Help, resources, and healing are available for you, right where you are.
