• Trying to Love a Narcissist? These 3 Mistakes Will Break You

  🎙 Podcast Title: 3 Mistakes That Keep You Emotionally DrainedIn this episode, we’re unpacking three powerful mistakes that can quietly drain your emotional, spiritual, and mental health—especially in relationships where you’re doing all the work.🔹 Mistake 1: Emotional Over-Functioning It’s like paddling a two-person canoe alone. You’re rowing hard, exhausted—and doing the work of staying connected for both of you. It might feel selfless, but it becomes a slow burn. 💡 God never called you to carry someone else’s emotional responsibility. Even Jesus let people walk away.🔹 Mistake 2: Mistaking Compliance for Connection Survival mode is not connection. And it’s definitely not the kind of peace Christ offers. Over time, this behavior convinces you that your silence is what’s holding the relationship together. 💡 But peace that requires your silence isn't peace at all—it's fear wearing a mask.🔹 Mistake 3: Believing That Your Love Will Heal Them “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs 4:23) Knowing the difference between love and peacekeeping is essential. 💡 You are not their savior, redeemer, or fixer. Protecting your emotional, mental, and spiritual health is not selfish—it’s wise stewardship.✨ This episode will help you identify the hidden patterns that keep you stuck and give you permission to choose peace, clarity, and wholeness.🙌 Want to know how to handle narcissists the way Jesus did? 🔥 Next Steps:📖 Download Your Free Narcissist Survival Guide: Get It Here
