RECOVERY LINKS & RESOURCES

Here is where members can find quick links to chosen blogs, threads, videos, websites and articles to help with recovery. Whether labeled a narcissist, psychopath or sociopath, on the path forward we believe to 'understand it' is the first step for healing from ANY toxic relationship.

Knowledge = freedom and self-empowerment!

I will be updating this thread and list frequently, so if there is a link you want to see included here, please send via private message to me. Links posted anywhere not approved will simply be deleted at our discretion and approved links will be added to the master list which will keep evolving.

(As per forum guidelines, please do not post any outside links in threads without prior approval. The format for posting approved articles will be to copy the content from the article being shared and paste it into a new thread within quotation marks - always citing the original author)
