Why You Can’t “Reason” With a Narcissist

If you’re a mother navigating a high‑conflict divorce, you’ve probably spent countless hours drafting long, heartfelt emails hoping a narcissist ex‑partner will finally “understand.” The truth? That strategy fuels the Empathy Trap, keeping you stuck in a relentless cycle of frustration.

In the latest video, Why You Can’t “Reason” With Him (And What to Do Instead), I break down the science behind this trap and give you three powerful communication shifts you can apply today.

1. The Amygdala Hijack – Stressful texts trigger a fight‑or‑flight response, hijacking rational thinking. Recognizing this physiological reaction helps you pause before replying, preventing emotional escalation.

2. The JADE Rule – Stop Justifying, Arguing, Defending, and Explaining. By eliminating these four habits, you remove the ammunition narcissists use to manipulate you.

3. Business‑Like (Parallel) Parenting – Move from “co‑parenting” to a clean, information‑only exchange. This “parallel parenting” mindset reduces drama and protects your children’s well‑being.

To make the transition seamless, I share 3 Power Phrases you can copy‑paste into any message. These scripts shut down manipulation without sparking further conflict, letting you preserve your energy for what truly matters – your healing and your children’s stability.
