I'm sorry but.....
First, I truly believe that narcissist exists and that they cause those who love them tremendous pain and suffering (particularly the ones who put hands on you). I get it. I also believe that sharing your story is invaluable as it helps the speaker and the listener in the hearing process. But , I see absolutely no value in letting someone speak for more than an hour and not once take ownership of their choices. I've just spent the past hour engaged in the speakers " trauma bonding" without the benefit of self reflection or true personal insight. The experience for me was like listening to an alcoholic sharing at an AA meeting about the true horror's of alcoholism -the degradation,the humiliation, the loss of dignity and self-respect the bottle has caused and then turn around and "blame it on the alcohol" In the telling of the Spiritual Abuser, it is very clear that she has a great deal of work to do, and, unless this is just a platform to binge and vent, some effort on the hosts part to probe (gently) a little deeper issues self worth and the difference between something being "done" to you and just bad choices might prove more beneficial-for all of us. The concern I have about this platform is that It can provide another outlet for the victim of abuse to keep the narc alive and to attract a whole new set of ears to trauma bond with - to be sure everyone in their circle has heard their story over and over again. I also think that sometimes labeling someone "anything" let's the other person off the hook. In the end, we are only hearing one side of the situation. Again, I'm sorry if this post seems insensitive. But to recover from pain and trauma one must accept their part and to completely eliminate from their vocabulary, words like "he made me" and "i don't know why I " Once this is possible then the healing will begin. Oh and get some counseling.Read full review »

More reviews of Narcissist Apocalypse
So glad I stumbled onto this podcast. I’ve only listened to 2 stories so far and they both resonate so much with me. It helps me to hear that other women had stayed with their narcs for so long as well. The #1 question I get is “WHY did you stay with him for so long?” Glad I’m not alone in this. ❤️

I had no idea until I found this podcast, but it was exactly what I needed. “Need” is a strong word, but it’s no exaggeration in this context. I spent years feeling incredibly confused and lost, and then the moment I started listening to this podcast and the stories the guests shared, something...Read full review »
