A woman
from Congers ran from Oswego to Manhattan to raise awareness for victims of narcissistic abuse.
Narcissistic abuse can be defined as mild putdowns
to intense, life-threatening violence inflicted by a narcissist
Vanessa Reiser is a licensed therapist and a survivor of narcissistic abuse – a
form of domestic violence.
Reiser tells News 12 that she ended her engagement
as a result.
The
Rockland County woman ran more than 250 miles to help others during her own
process of healing.
“We have a lot of work to do but we did definitely open up
a dialogue around the clinical trials that highlight this form of insidious
domestic violence,” says Reiser. “We are shining a light on the clinical
behaviors that people don’t generally talk about.”
News 12 is told she returned home Saturday
and received positive feedback from hundreds of people. Reiser is already
planning another run.
