For Mental Health Awareness Month I'll be discussing some mental health issues that share close ties with having survived narcissistic abuse. 

In this episode I'll share a few stories illustrating the compulsive lying that is true to narcissistic form. 

I reference this link below discussing flying monkeys

In this episode I share stories of how one by one my friends and support network dropped away in my narcs efforts to isolate me 

My name is Phoenix Rising and I felt it important to build the foundation for my stories with an introduction to Narcissistic Personality Disorder and all it's many "faces"
Below are the links I refer to in this introduction along with a few others for your convenience in your journey to learn more.
