I asked how many therapists they saw before me. She said, “Three. Each only once.” She added that each one kept looking at their clock from about 30 minutes in.

Christmas is coming fast, especially if you are a separated parent with a nar-cissistic ex. You may be taking a run at the courts, mediation or there may be a flurry of emails and text messages all to settle some plans.
