First Impression: Best Show truly illuminating

I just found this show, long time listener of other podcasts on narcissism, and survivor of a narcissistic relationship. The world we live in can be a difficult place, life’s troubles can take us to the brink of devistation. Narcissists, and their secretive and abusive nature, compound these issues and spark misery where there was none before, entrapping their victims in a maddening broken world or leaving them emotionally destroyed and utterly alone. Surviving narcissism and healing is so difficult and many may not achieve it fully. This podcast shines a light on the reality of emotional abuse narccisists effortlessly engage in, and allows victims the chance to share their stories on a platform where they feel heard, help others through hearing these stories and break down the traits and tactics of narcissistic individuals. This is a valuable podcast. I highly recommended it.

Manipulation Tactics

I am so incredibly thankful to have come across this episode, and the platform you have created. I tell myself daily, often out loud and to myself… Karen,this is not normal! The abuse leaves you numb. Truly, you go over everything over and over and over again because something that was so strong and beautiful, suddenly turns into a nightmare, and I remember saying that once with the dream turns into a nightmare, and I wrote it on Instagram, and my narcissist coach replied to me what what’s going on and I said oh nothing well now I’m the one who looks like a derailment nut job 5 years passed. I’ve done nothing. I even have three children that I barely see I’m isolated and alone I have no money I can’t even leave my whole life feels without meaning: think I have the worst kind of narcissist possible it’s just so evil I can’t believe how he broke me down everything he took for me. I’m just so broken. How could there not be a law against this form of violence?

I’m here for it

Thank you for the way you put your shows together. The information and people’s stories are my favorite. I wish I could share the crazy story of my husbands ex and current narc, but me and my husband have young kids (and step kids) and I would not want to expose that to them encase she happens upon it. Maybe in 5 years 😅….. Keep doing what you’re doing and being who you are. Thank you Brandon:)

Cam the J.w abuse survivor

This show here really resonate with me. Kaam survived social alienation with a J.W and realize his self-worth was more important than making others happy.

The Best!

This podcast should be made into a series for Netflix! Thanks to Brandon, victims of narcissistic abuse can FINALLY make sense of the madness and don’t feel so alone in the world. This podcast is a true lifesaver and game changer!

Validating show

Excellent host, and I love how he says “the floor is now yours” and lets his guests talk instead of so many hosts that take over the show. Sometimes the guests don’t know how to self edit and it becomes rambling, but he helps bring it back.

Come here for clarity!

Coming from an 11+ year (beyond) chaotic relationship, I would have never understood what was happening until I found this podcast. Recently, the perfectionism and confusion episodes were so eye opening and I have listened to them multiple times. I am finally able to understand and apply the lessons appropriately (where I most definitely would not have a year ago when I separated) I appreciate your honesty, and willingness to be vulnerable to a crowd of unknown people. You are seen and reaching people that couldn’t put things into words. Hoping to share my story one of these days, until then.. I’ll keep taking notes with the help of your podcast.

Limits

I’ve been playing these podcasts to continue going in my separation. I feel so bad for putting limits but listening to the stories have made me understand that I am not crazy and what I felt and delt with was real!

Hearing from men who experience narc abuse is so valuable and hopefully stories like this one inspire other men to share. As a woman, I find the male perspective extra fascinating and enlightening. Thank you for opening up and letting the light in.

Mutual Abuse

Wow…just spent the last 4 hours asking myself if I am the abuser because of the way I have reacted to my abuser. Wow. I’m really trying to leave and he has now convinced my family I’m crazy and have all this anger, where when we first met, I was too calm for him. I’ve questioned my sanity, my worth, and have so much guilt. Everything I thought I was has been turned upside down. I’m scared and mad at myself for getting into an abusive relationship AGAIN. Thank you for this podcast. I just found it by searching “domestic violence” on my podcast service and I’m so happy I found it. The relief I felt when I heard I was not alone in being blamed as the abuser by my abuser is more than I could ever describe. I hope I have the same confidence I feel now when I need to tell them to leave and not come back. Thank you!

Domestic violence, mental abuse, gaslighting, and manipulation from the narc…

This is a must listen to for anyone involved with or knows someone who is in an abusive relationship! So relatable and helpful! Thank you for doing this show I’m so glad I found it! These are such taboo topic’s sadly. You are blazing the trails for others to be able to address such scary isolating topics. Narcissistic apocalypse brings these real life experiences to the forefront of the podcast world!

BRANDON YOU HAVE SAVED MANY

I’ve been listening to you for a few yrs now. I don’t know how I would have survived my last break up without your podcast. You can only understand what an abusive relationship does to a person if you have in fact been through it. I was never so addicted to a person as I was him. The pain was physical. And mental. I had a nervous breakdown and much more. But story by story, one by one You and your guest have pulled me through it. And of course my Heavenly Father. I still have moments and PTS but I know I’ll be okay now. My prayers to all your guests. And all my best to you Brandon. Thank you, Sonya

Courtney and Mr. Center of Attention

I listened to this podcast today and listened to some of your other podcasts. My heart goes out to spouses and their children who have, to no fault of their own suffered from the Abuse and Trauma inflicted upon them by this dark, twisted, weak and evil type of “person”. They are like a nuclear plant spilling. They not only destroy their family but destroy the lives of all of those that love and support the victim and victims. It is simply sick that a person would block a mother from going to her crying child because they insisted on having their needs met first. She had to have sex with this despicable creep before she could get to her crying child. We need to continue calling out the Narcissist and the damage they do to their own children and or any other people that they prey on. And the life long scars their victims are left to carry. I commend and applaud your guest in this podcast, who demonstrates the courage and dignity to share her story. And shining light on the dark, lurking sicko narcissist she was married to. Call it out so someone else can benefit from hearing your story. Maybe others will learn to spot these creeps (male or female) and run from them sooner than later. I happen to be a male. So men and women are in harms way when they get involved with a narcissist.

Once, I was eating a bag of chips, and I reached in, and pulled out a pretzel. It was honestly, the worst thing that ever happened to me. Five stars!

Life-Changing

This podcast taught me too much to describe in this review, but the bottom line is that it made me see two Life-changing facts: 1. I’m not crazy or alone, and 2., that I needed to seek professional help. Thank you SO much, Brandon. Thank you.

Hands-Down, an ESSENTIAL

This podcast is a gamechanger. You will find yourself not doubting if you made the right decision in your own tale. For survivors sharing theirs here will resonate in a way like none other. This podcast has taught me so so so much in such a little time. I keep it playing and I don’t feel so alone or isolated. It’s real. It’s raw. Unfiltered. Yet professional and personal. Educational and equipping. Bravo, Brandon! Thanks for doing work that matters. Life-changing. This community is that…it’s hardly “just” a podcast. It’s a lifeline. I’m so grateful.

Extremely helpful resource!

I am so grateful this podcast exists. It was a very important reminder of how bad things can get when I was in an addictive cycle with a toxic relationship. It helped ground me when I felt that confusing disorientation of manipulation, and it helped me get out and stay out even when I felt weak. Thanks for all that you do Chad!

Greatful for platform!

I'm so thankful for this show, the courage of the survivors that share, for Chad's hardwork and dedication and passion to keep this platform available! I have learned so much, ways to identify and understand what I have been through with my mother and how that has led me into abusive relationships. I just cant express how much I have learned and grown, thank you!
