This week's delightful Behind the Swipe guest is Betsy Morris -- a yogi, logophile, and lover of God with a passion for health and wholeness. When not exercising her body and soul, Betsy enjoys girl trips, the discipline of journaling, and eating dark chocolate with a glass of red wine, which she insists is medicinal.

A recent empty nester, Betsy is the divorced mother of 3 human children and the dog mom of one golden-doodle who’d prefer to Netflix-and-chill than join Betsy for a run. Her University of Texas psychology degree and a Master’s in Social Work underlie her compassion for women struggling to reinvent themselves following the end of a long-term marriage.

Betsy and her adorable ‘doodle live in San Antonio, Texas where Betsy does her own yard work and tries not to overthink everything.

A relationship with someone who has Narcissistic Personality Disorder isn't one that’s going to flourish or thrive, but that doesn’t mean YOU can’t heal and move on to better things.
💔 💔 💔
Real "Narcissism" is about more than an egocentric know-it-all who doesn’t value what you bring to the table. It’s a complicated and insidious disorder that causes harm to a partner or victim even after that relationship comes to an end.
❤️‍🩹 ❤️‍🩹 ❤️‍🩹
Episode 28 features therapist Hilary Woodman (), who works with survivors healing from the after-effects of Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome and how to move forward a stronger and wiser person with an understanding of what to do differently the next time, and what signs to watch out for.
🌱🪴🌳
If you’ve previously been in a relationship like this, how did you get out, and what do you look for NOW to avoid choosing a Narcissistic partner?
