Paying it Forward Month
August, 2025
Healing from Narcissistic Relationships
Month Overview:
What does it mean to pay it forward?
This month has an INTERESTING history to it (and you will have to come to the workshop to learn what it is) – and is more of a benchmark in this healing program than you could imagine.
What does it mean to pay it forward? This month is crossroads of work on meaning, purpose, healing, self-awareness, and compassion. One of the greatest risks for folks who have been through and start to heal from narcissistic relationships is to want to help other people too quickly. This month is about to how to harness that part of you that wants to help others heal, stop them before they get in, teach others and advocate for survivors, in a manner that supports your own healing and that you make sure you take care of YOU before you start giving it away (once again) to other people.
