Being in a relationship with someone who's constantly criticizing, belittling or gaslighting you is emotionally exhausting. It can have some serious impacts on not just your mental health, but also your physical and your spiritual health as well. On today’s episode, ITN founder Cynthia Garcia is talking all about how to identify when you’re in a relationship with a narcissist and what to do about it.  In previous episodes, Cynthia has shared about how she navigates her relationship with her narcissistic mother.
