Have you ever tried to end a relationship, only to find yourself defending your decision instead? When someone responds to a breakup with blame, denial, guilt, promises to change, or emotional pressure, the conversation can quickly turn into a debate. Before you know it, you’re explaining your pain, questioning your memory, and wondering if you should stay.In this video, psychotherapist Jenn Pinkerton explains how to break up with someone who has narcissistic traits without getting pulled back into the same cycle. You’ll learn why closure may need to come from you rather than from the other person, how to create clarity before the breakup, and how to communicate your decision without turning it into a negotiation.Jenn also shares practical strategies for protecting your decision afterward, including when no contact may be appropriate and how gray rocking can help when communication is unavoidable. You’ll learn how to respond to blame and provocation, maintain clear boundaries, and handle the grief and nostalgia that can make you question your decision after leaving.Because staying gone isn’t just about ending the relationship. It’s about rebuilding trust in yourself and remembering that you don’t need someone else to validate your reasons for leaving.Whether you’re preparing to leave a difficult relationship, struggling to stay away from an ex, or trying to understand why breakups can become so confusing and emotionally exhausting, this video will help you create clarity, communicate your decision, and protect your boundaries without abandoning yourself.SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNELHealthy relationships don’t happen by accident.
