Breaking Free from Narcissistic Abuse - Podcast Rankings and reviews

I wish I had this resource when I was 19 yo. It would have saved me years and years of pain in abusive relationships. If I can say anything, listen, then listen again. Get your community organized (no matter how small) and leave him. Do no contact, no matter what. You must trust this more than anything else - never contact him again. Your friends and family and community should act as your wall. I think as women we are gifted a faint, small internal voice within ourselves, saying it’s not safe, go. Listen to her. Please, listen and go. What is unknown and not lit is scary, but you are brave. Big hugs to the hosts. Bravo on giving emotions and the abused words and stories and a space to exist 🌻

When I started this podcast, I kinda assumed the co-hosts were armchair psychologists, and after one episode i couldn’t have been more wrong. The co-hosts are extremely experienced and qualified to discuss narcissistic abuse. This is one of the most interesting, REAL, honest, bold, podcasts. I’m listening because I’m pretty sure my best friend just married a guy who’s doing every tactic, subtly and charismatically. The wedding has red flags everywhere and I felt so sick. I can see through him like cellophane. But I’m also learning to be compassionate for my friend despite her cutting me out of her life. It’s all so confusing and I’m grateful for the education

I don’t know who is who in the podcast but I completely relate to both hosts! So much knowledge and absolutely so much real talk and vulnerability!! I just finished the episode about “how did I fall for this person and I feel so stupid” but after listening…I’m like…oh my goodness - were they on my dates? did they read the notes on my telephone? Just amazing! Thank you for exposing this behavior and all the great fact-based education that can be gleaned from your episodes!I just left a relationship with a COVERT narcissist and I’m here to tell you that the COGNITIVE DISSONANCE is a real thing especially because I now have words for why I flipped between staying or leaving for an entire year (flipping both ways almost every waking hour of each day) I am about to finish all of the archives and will patiently wait for more.
Thank you again and again!

So informative. I enjoy the interviews and the dual hosts. Like the conversational format and the sharing of studies as well as personal experiences. I would enjoy hearing more about sibling relationships and family narcissism/emotional abuse/financial abuse/ inheritance issues. Thank goodness my life partner is not a toxic person. In my late 50s after my generous and loving father died, my family dynamic totally changed. Suddenly my little brother became a tyrant and his wife and my mother his enablers. At 58, desperate, and wondering “what is wrong with me, why can’t I get along with my family?” , I finally googled the question and thankfully found sites and experts on narcissistic abuse - both covert and overt. Wow. All the signs, the red flags, were there. Never too old to learn, though not a lesson I am thrilled about. I have gone no contact ish and am working to be healthy , still — coming from a culture that honors family , it is hard to speak about this with others or to come to terms with it myself. I keep wondering when my little brother decided he hated me. I just remember babysitting him and protecting him. To this day, despite his being horrible, I worry about him. He is not dead, but lost to me.
