  • Completely one of a kind—the answer so many of us have been searching for our whole lives

    I have searched years and years for the answers I found here in a single day.

  • Ewwww

    A lot of wet mouth swallowing. A lot of talking about absolutely nothing. 10 minutes straight on pay $4000 to convert back to a normal person from narcissism. As if that’s even a thing. Couldn’t change this podcast fast enough.

  • Blown away

    As a clinician very familiar with narcissistic abuse and its destructive effects, I am blown away by Tony Overbay’s breadth and depth of understanding on the topic. He brings both compassion and accountability to his podcast. Even if you think you know the subject… chances are good that he’s going to tell you something you don’t know- and do it in a way that makes your life and relationships better.
