So, going ‘no contact’ is the gold star response to the dark tetrad & those with narcissistic leanings..its a big step & potentially liberating step..we take a close look at this exciting possibility. However, full on no contact is not always possible for everyone. We can be connected through shared workspace/home space, joint custody, pretend friends & so fourth..what then? What can we do? Enter the grey rock express! This is a powerful, highly skilled & effective set of tools & abilities that help us manage, navigate, negotiate & survive close contact with very difficult personalities..interested? Intrigued? Well tune into the pod, there's also some kick ass tunes!
