Event + Response = Outcome Booklet

Divorcing a narcissist or someone with similar behaviors can be one of the most challenging experiences. However, adopting the E+R=O mindset can empower you to take control of your responses and shape a more positive outcome.

Understanding the E+R=O Mindset

Event + Response = Outcome: This formula emphasizes that while you may not control the events you encounter, you have full control over your responses, which in turn shape your outcomes. This approach contrasts with the E=O mindset (Event = Outcome), where individuals feel powerless and adopt a victim mentality, believing that events alone determine their fate.

The Challenge: Events Beyond Your Control

Manipulative Behaviors: Narcissists often engage in manipulative, controlling, or abusive behaviors.
Stressful Environment: These actions create a highly stressful and contentious environment.
Lack of Control: These events are often out of your control and can be deeply challenging to handle.
