Shame and blame are constant, painful companions to survivors of toxic family systems. So are smear campaigns, deception and gaslighting. Charli Duarte knows this all too well.

She also knows the path to healing and has developed a safe, online space for those overcoming narcissistic abuse. One member of the group said it best: "It takes a lot of energy to feel safe again."

As she describes the signs and symptoms of this toxic dynamic, Carli also shares the primary message she's learned: "Shame and blame were never mine, but healing is."
