Joyce Meyer: Insecure People Try to Control Others | FULL EPISODE | Better Together on TBN

It is called narcissism! Everyone should learn about that personality disorder, especially before marrying someone! It is sooo important!

Narcissistic abuse is far more complex than advising people to 'stand up for themselves'. People raised by abusers have complex ptsd and they have adapted for survival. It may be years or even decades before they even realize they are being abused because it's all they know, its normal. Speaking up in these relationships and resisting control does not go well and usually leads to punishment. My best advise to people who become aware that they are experiencing abuse is to remove yourself. Narcs don't change...you'll waste precious time in their drama. If there are no kids involved cut contact completely and leave quietly. Then your nervous system can properly detox and heal from the past. It's extremely difficult to heal in the same environment that is hurting you. Practice self compassion...this heals the shame. It's a process but be persistent, God does set you free but you must separate yourself from this.

Nov. 2020 , I broke free from a very toxic relationship. He was manipulative and narcissistic. I allowed myself to stay under that because I had made him an idol, I didn’t realize that… but I cried out to God and told Him, I don’t have the strength to leave him, you have to do this!” And He did! Praise God and I am healing.

I want to applause every woman who has removed themselves out a toxic situation, rather it was a intimate relationship , family , job, life situation , life choices , you go girl !!!!!! Never forget how strong you are and Remember God got us , it’s so easy to get caught up in what we still have left to work on about ourselves but NEVER forget what you have already done for yourself , you all are remarkable and ladies the only way is UP!!!! Love you my sisters, sending positive vibes and love you guys way 🥰❤️

I once heard that pride and the NEED to control, is insecurity dressed up!

I wanted to share that I was in a abusive relationship and I was scared to leave but then I was threaded for my life. I called the police and the whole day went smoothly. Without going in all the details the man was removed from my life and I had shelter. God gave me an opportunity for a new job too. God came through

It's impossible to have boundaries with a narcissist. I'm so grateful to be free!!!

"Love should not feel like youre walking on eggshells." - Emma Xu May everyone here finally get out of that toxic relationship. May you be healed. 🙏❤️ GOD bless everyone. 🙏

Confronting narcissists doesn’t make a difference, they’ll never change. I was telling him his wrongs and he was always either denying it or pretending that he wouldn’t understand

I left the abusive marriage of 16yrs to a 'Christian' and moved to the next town. Praise God.

OMG this spoke to me… I broke away from a toxic relationship and I am sooo grateful to God for helping me break it off… thank you JESUS For freeing me…if you are in this situation please leave… I know it is hard trust GOD and leave….

Sometimes confrontation is not an option. A lot of times you just have to leave you have to run. Sometimes literally run and never look back. Leave that person behind.

Praying for my brother to be released from a toxic relationship with his girlfriend in the name of Jesus

Sometimes the confrontation is confronting yourself and make an exit plan and get out! It can be dangerous to confront your abuser.

I just walked away from a 7 year abusive relationship now I'm working on healing myself my heart and my soul

Jesus Christ healed me! This is my story about my healing! I was extremely ill !! I had diabetes and kidney failure, which urgently requires dialysis! I prayed to God to heal me, not for me, because I don't deserve it, but for my little children, who were left without a mother! in exactly that day, in which I prayed, the Lord healed me! I suddenly felt the pain in my kidneys go away, as well as the dryness in my mouth (diabetes). I'm a new women now! I thank the Lord for His mercy and love for us!

Yes I needed to hear this I'm being controlled and intimidated by my family and marriage please keep me in prayer it's draining me so bad.😢

Such a wonderful video! Narcissistic relationships taught me how to value the matchless love of God. Once He filled my cup, there was not room for toxic connections anymore, they were literally pushed out!! Praise God!

Love Joyce..."Control is a type of witchcraft, it's demonic from the word go. Should not allow yourself to get into relationships that are controlling. Boundaries are so important." Henry Cloud and John Townsend's book on Boundaries

Going through this toxic emotional abuse. My spirit is broken. May the dear Lord take me out of this situation
