The Narcissist in Your Life Podcast is hosted by Linda Martinez-Lewi, Ph.D., clinical expert on the narcissistic personality, psychotherapist and author. I offer in-depth analysis, strategies and practices for those psychologically and emotionally harmed and abused by toxic, predatory narcissistic personalities through my books: Recovering and Healing After the Narcissist and Freeing Yourself from the Narcissist in Your Life, international telephone consultations and global podcasts. I put the emphasis on helping individuals to access the calming, restorative parts of the parasympathetic body/mind systems that lead to healing, recovery, personal transformation and the evolution of your true, authentic self and your unique creative gifts.

The Shadow represents the disowned, dispossessed parts of the unconscious. It is what we refuse to and are unable to acknowledge about ourselves: the forbidden, taboo, regrettable, secret. 

The Shadow is precognitive and at the core of the personality. We are created to manifest light and dark in our presence: words, gestures, humor, creativity. 

The Shadow is hidden in the covert narcissist and as a result, spouses, ex-spouses and children are on the receiving end of volleys of vituperative rage which is horrifying, causing victims to go into full fight or flight mode, activating the sympathetic nervous system. 

Those who move forward with their process of individuation and separate out from the cruelties and betrayals of the narcissist, discover that they are authentic, strong, persevering, evolved and creative. 

As you move forward you begin to integrate your creative, self initiating shadow, rediscovering the power and beauty of the original self. I honor your perseverance and courage. Celebrate your creative individuality, identity and integrity.
