Why I Left The Wolf of Wall Street, and How I SurTHRIVED His Abuse and YOU Can Too, with Dr. Nae Trauma Bond and CPTSD Therapist and Expert

The word 'narcissist' is often times over used these days. It's often used to describe ex's who are more than likely just incredibly selfish and ego-centric people. But, what if you are in a relationship with a true clinical Narcissist and/or Personality Disordered person. What if you are truly in the throws of a real trauma bond and an emotionally/psychologically/physically/sexually/and or financially abusive relationship. Would you be able to recognise it? And, if you did recognise it, would you be able to escape it and truly heal from it?

In the UK, according to a recent study conducted by Refuge:

• The police receive a domestic abuse related call every 30 seconds
• 1 in 4 women in the UK will experience some form of domestic abuse in her lifetime
• On average, 1 woman is killed by an abusive partner or ex every 5 days in the UK
• 3 women a week die by suicide as a result of domestic abuse
• It takes, on average, 7 attempts before a woman is able to leave her abuser for good
