How to Leave and Heal: Narcissistic Abuse Guide

Rebuilding after a narcissistic relationship? Get a therapist-approved roadmap so you can feel safe, clear, and in control again.

Hosted by Lisa Urbanski, this powerful conversation features author and survivor Jodi Lynn Pavlock and her therapist, Janet Viggiano, LSW, who break down what recovery really looks like... beyond the buzzwords. You’ll learn how to recognize manipulation (love bombing, gaslighting, financial control), set firm no-contact boundaries, calm anxiety and hypervigilance, and move through the stages of healing with community and professional support.

What you’ll learn:

• How trauma bonds form, and how to break them safely
• No-contact, low-contact, and gray-rock: what works when
• Nervous system regulation you can use in the moment
• Building a support circle (therapy + groups) that actually helps
• Reclaiming identity, finances, and daily routines after abuse
• Therapist insights on relapse triggers and long-term resilience

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing yourself and start healing, this episode gives you the tools, language, and support steps to move forward with confidence.
