In this episode, narcissistic abuse educator Richard Grannon opens up about one of his own narcissistic relationships and the extreme psychological and emotional manipulation and abuse that he experienced. He shares in detail the depth of emotional coercion, his reasons for staying and how he eventually got out. The conversation roams across multiple other topics including the romanticization of toxic, unhealthy and love bombing behaviours in film and television and how that primes us for narcissistic relationships.
