This moment episode discusses the vital role of processing emotions, particularly grief and anger, for mental health. Corissa and Aypril highlight how holding in emotions like anger can negatively impact the nervous system, likening it to trying to hold a beach ball underwater. They emphasize the significance of creating safe spaces, whether with a coach or therapist, for individuals to fully express and process their feelings. The conversation also delves into how societal discomfort with emotions can lead to repression and the importance of allowing oneself the time and space to work through grief without judgment or pressure.

In this week's episode, we dive into the Top 8 reasons Why a Narcissist Won't Change. Whether you've experienced toxic relationships firsthand or are seeking to understand and support a loved one who has, this episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable tips.
Here are 5 key takeaways from the episode that you won't want to miss:
1. Narcissists lack self-awareness and struggle to acknowledge their own faults, making change difficult.
2. Their fragile self-esteem and fear of vulnerability make it challenging for them to accept their flaws and mistakes.
3. Narcissists depend on narcissistic supply and resist behaviors that may threaten this validation.
4. They place themselves in environments that reinforce their harmful behaviors, making change less likely.
5. Their resistance to therapy and deep internalized patterns further hinder their ability to change.
Fun Fact: Did you know that some narcissists may feign willingness to change as a tactic to maintain their relationships, but long-term change is rare?
As you can see, this episode is packed with valuable insights that can help you better understand the dynamics of narcissistic behavior and how it impacts relationships.
