Narcissism, Boundaries, And Healing

What if the romance that felt like destiny was actually data collection for control? We sit down with a counselor-in-training who specializes in narcissistic abuse to map the full arc—from the intoxicating highs of love bombing to the quiet, confusing grind of devaluation, gaslighting, and financial isolation. Together we unpack why narcissism is best understood as a spectrum of traits, how shame fuels rage and blame-shifting, and why change is rare without deep humility and accountability.We dig into the types you’ll meet at home and work: the charismatic grandiose leader who dazzles in public, the brooding vulnerable type who lives in grievance, and the communal figure who performs virtue while exploiting in private. You’ll learn why boundaries often provoke more testing, how to gray rock without second-guessing yourself, and when “no contact” is safest. For those who can’t leave yet, we offer practical scripts and strategies to limit engagement, stop taking the bait, and protect your mental space.If you grew up with an emotionally immature or narcissistic parent, this conversation speaks directly to the people-pleasing reflex that ties worth to productivity and usefulness. We guide you to shift from performance to self-worth: naming needs, building small boundary reps, and choosing safe people to celebrate your wins. You’ll hear how to grieve the fantasy of who someone should be and accept who they are, so you can stop relying on unsafe partners for joy, validation, or support.Ready to reclaim your power and clarity? Press play, learn the signs, and take one concrete step toward healthier boundaries.

I was raised neglected and unseen

What if the most dangerous story you carry is the quiet one—“life just is this way”? Timothy grew up in a home without hugs or hard talks, where silence felt normal and safety meant familiarity. That quiet shaped anxious attachment, constant tomorrow-thinking, and a belief that mistakes defined him. When the weight finally became unlivable, he drove to a hospital seeking a lifeline and found a doorway into skills, community, and a different way to experience the world.We trace the journey from rock-bottom despair to a five-week program centered on dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and group work. Timothy learned how neuroplasticity makes change possible, how to separate thoughts from identity, and how to ride a wave of emotion without drowning in it. The breakthrough wasn’t a single moment but a practice: acknowledging trauma that looked like neglect rather than violence, naming an abandonment wound, and replacing black-and-white thinking with skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. In the process, he found his voice—first for himself, then to advocate for someone too anxious to speak—and discovered the power of peer support, creativity, and steady boundaries.Today he protects a small circle with clear lines, channels his message through design and podcasting, and frames healing as a DIY project: borrow what works, test it in your life, and keep going. The closing challenge is simple and radical: define happiness for yourself, then follow it with diligence. If depression feels like old jeans—predictable, worn, safe—this conversation offers a different fit: skills you can practice, language for what hurt, and a reminder that mistakes refine more than they define. Listen, reflect, and share it with someone who needs the nudge to pick up the pen and write a better page.Enjoyed the story?

How I Healed After Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA): Jessica Ella's Story

Some stories split life into a before and after. This conversation follows Jessica Ella who endured sexual, physical, and psychological abuse from early childhood and later uncovered repressed memories that explained years of anxiety, dissociation, and survival-mode living. We explore how grooming, terror, and mixed signals forge trauma bonds that keep victims silent and how the body often screams the truth through headaches, gut issues, vision changes, and chronic fight-or-flight long before the mind can make sense of it.From that crucible came a relentless pursuit: find a way to heal that actually works. You’ll hear how she studied spirituality, subconscious methods, somatics, and memory processing, then fused them into a practical, four-pillar approach that targets root causes instead of symptoms. We walk through the process step by step: revisiting specific scenes to close open loops, using somatic regulation so the nervous system completes the experience, cutting energetic ties that keep the past alive, and reprogramming beliefs formed in trauma into grounded truths that support self-respect and agency. If you’ve wondered whether trauma can be complete, not just managed, this story offers a map: find the source, process it fully, and let the body know the danger has passed.You can find Jessica and her work on:https://www.jessicaella.com.au/https://www.instagram.com/aarukatherapy/Send us a text Support the showAdditionally, you can now also watch the full video version of your favourite episode here on YouTube.
