The race of Vanessa Reiser against narcissistic domestic abuse

Clinical therapist, Vanessa Reiser, is setting out to raise awareness and fund recovery services for narcissistic domestic abuse by running a nearly 300-mile journey across New York, and she'll be doing it all in a wedding dress.

"Narcissists generally will use the wedding or an engagement as a form of control and manipulation. They entangle you. And so, [the dress] is a representation of how they do that," she explains. "Certainly, with the pandemic, the rates in domestic violence have gone through the roof. We have a major, major problem that we need to address."
