Mia J. Hanks is a survivor of narcissistic abuse. She was married to a covert narcissist for 29 years, and has taken her experiences and put them into a memoir titled Bride-Made.
Her book talks about her journey from being groomed by a narcissist, slowly realizing she was in a toxic relationship, and eventually escaped to reclaim her self worth.
Throughout her book, you'll learn how narcissistic behavior wears down the self esteem, self value, and identity of its victims. She hopes that her story can enlighten others and encourage awareness, and can help other victims of narcissistic abuse find their voices and be heard. You can follow Mia on TikTok.
This week, Mia shares her experience of being in a marriage with a covert narcissist. She talks about the challenges of being in a relationship with a narcissist, and the difficult process she experienced when divorcing her narcissistic ex-husband.
Mia talks about the importance of understanding how different forms of abuse, like financial abuse, often happens in narcissistic relationships and the barriers it creates for victims trying to leave.
We also discuss the dynamics of narcissistic abuse in relationships, why victims often stay in abusive relationships, the normalization of abuse, and the slow process of recognizing the truth.
We talk about the healing and recovery process, the importance of finding support, and the power of sharing your story. Mia also shares tips for those in the beginning stages of healing.
If you’re currently in a narcissistic relationship, this conversation with empower you and other victims of narcissistic abuse on how to break free.
