75) Dances with Wolves, Part 1: Gas-lighters, Narcissists, and Spiritual Predators
I would like to explore some patterns of destructive behaviour that people far-too-often experience in their intimate relationships especially, and we’ll focus on three “types of people:” gas-lighters, narcissists, and spiritual predators.

See? It works!
