"Healing from narcissistic abuse is individuating, becoming autonomous, and ultimately rising into your authentic self."
"Grief is a process you go through... It is the most human of experiences. Like birth and death, grief is the experience that unites everyone, and we have some pretty universal reactions to it. And the big mistake we're making now, in modern times, is we believe we can rush through grief." @DoctorRamani
