  • I am laughing… is that bad?

    Listening to the first episode the story about the mom being irritated by the chronically ill friend… I was like ARE YOU TELLING ON MY MOM? I needed this so bad. Can’t wait to learn more about how to heal and do better.

  • Just what I was looking for..

    Welcome to our Nightmare episode resonated SO HARD! Finally, I can hear about other people being triggered to dissociate/depersonalize. I’ve done loads of therapy. But I still felt so alone when trying to explain these pre-panic attack moments where I would have psychotic/delusional thinking. You know, you can’t talk about this sort of thing, because people will think you’re crazy and possibly dangerous.

  • Bloody brilliant

    I love listening to you both. Your personal/professional knowledge, insight, honesty and vulnerability (as well as strength!) is so refreshing. Incredibly validating for anyone who had a narcissistic parent. I have laughed and cried listening. Thank you so much. Podcast medicine I didn’t know I needed, you feel seen and hugged at the same time.

  • Y’all absolutely get it!

    Excellent theme and content. I respect your perspectives and lived experiences. My mother will roll in her grave or churn in her urn that we finally have her figured out, but she’s not dead yet.

  • You just have to laugh - thank you!

    So wild (!) the things I’m learning about myself and experiences as well as feelings being validated. Also living in “dishonest peace”, as another reviewer said, and don’t know that I have what it takes to cut off this part of my life. But so appreciative of the information and the way you’re presenting it.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

008: “Mailbag Mayhem”
Q: I have a reoccurring thought pattern where I wonder if I am the narcissist. Can you talk more about why this happens?
This is common among those raised by narcissists, as they often question their own self-worth and mirror the narcissistic behaviors projected onto them.
008: “Mailbag Mayhem”
Q: I feel like I am doing something wrong and that any human response inside of me is wrong. Why is that?
It stems from being raised by a narcissist, which instills a mindset where you grow up believing any expression of self is incorrect.
008: “Mailbag Mayhem”
Q: My mom asked me to do things for her that were inappropriate for a child. Why is that?
It's a sign of parentification, as narcissists seek care and nurturing from their children due to their unresolved childhood trauma.
008: “Mailbag Mayhem”
Q: When I mentioned the podcast to people, they get prickly about the term narcissist. How do I respond?
It's about breaking societal taboos, and those who get prickly may not be ready to confront their own truths.
