Today’s guest is Vanessa Reiser, a psychotherapist, author & narcissistic abuse survivor. She recently stopped by to chat with Dawn about how to detect if you're in an abusive relationship, why cults and narcissistic abuse go hand-in-hand, and why she thinks it's time to move past the term "narcissist".  Pre-Order Vanessa's book, Narcissistic Abuse: A Therapist's Guide to Identifying, Escaping, and Healing from Toxic and Manipulative People on Amazon here.Find Vanessa at: Home - Tell A TherapistVanessa M.
