Bonnie Kaye's Straight Wives Talk Show with therapist Dr. Magalis Fjelstad

Tonight Bonnie Kaye welcomes back Dr. Margalis Fjelstad, a licensed marriage and family therapist.  She specializes in working with clients who are struggling in a relationship with a borderline or narcissist.

Dr. Fjelstad will be discussing her newly released book Healing from a Narcissistic Relationship: A Caretaker's Guide to recovery, empowerment, and transformation.  The book talks about ending a relationship with a narcissist and how the caretaking partner is often left confused, deeply hurt, and often still emotionally connected, while the narcissist seems to easily move on to the next relationship. Healing from a Narcissistic Relationship explains what to expect as the relationship unravels and how to cope with the fallout. It also helps the reader learn to truly disengage and move through the grief process. Presenting techniques for healing and rebuilding self-esteem and self-confidence, this book offers a guide to developing emotional strength. It shows the reader how to increase emotional self-protections, quit caretaking in relationships, and become more independent and self-loving. Ultimately, the book shows that ending a relationship with a narcissist may be the best thing that ever happens in your life.

You can readDr. Fjelstad's monthly blog on PsychologyToday.com and sign up for her monthly newsletter or a phone consultation by going to her website at margalistherapy.com. Her first book changed the thinking many of our straight wives--and her newest book will give you the tools you need.
