  • Unmasking the Love Bombing & Abuse of "Pretty Woman" | Narcissistic Abuse

    Unmasking the Love Bombing & Abuse of "Pretty Woman" | Narcissistic Abuse
    May 3 2024
    In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse Q&A, Brandon re-examines the iconic film "Pretty Woman" through a critical lens, unearthing the darker undertones of love bombing and abuse hidden within this beloved romantic narrative. Listen in as we peel back the charming veneer of Richard Gere's character, Edward, to reveal early signs of manipulative behavior, possessive/patronizing tendencies, and a troubling disregard for his partner's autonomy. We're not just scrutinizing a movie; we're having an open conversation about the implications of such behaviors on a larger scale. As we navigate the twists and turns of their evolving relationship, we confront the uncomfortable realities that many romantic narratives choose to gloss over. With insightful discussions and critical perspectives, we offer an alternative view of a film that has shaped cultural expectations of love and relationships for decades.

  • Elsey & The Calculating Abusive Narcissist | Domestic Violence, Narcissistic Abuse

    Elsey & The Calculating Abusive Narcissist | Domestic Violence, Narcissistic Abuse
    Apr 29 2024
    In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Elsey shares her story of marrying a calculating manipulative abuser. When Elsey met her abuser, she thought that since he came from a good family in the community, then he must be a good person. Sadly, Elsey was wrong. After the initial love bombing phase of their relationship, Elsey began to endure a myriad of manipulation and abuse tactics that were ever-changing. As the relationship continued, Elsey was constantly walking on eggshells, waiting for the other shoe to drop as the abuses got more severe over time. It's a story of submission, lies, rage, putdowns, identity erosion, physical abuse, sexual abuse, sexual coercion, triangulation, manipulation tactics, being right, shame, guilt, testing boundaries, love bombing, lies, mirroring, double standards, victim playing, and survival. ***CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses physical abuse, sexual abuse, and sexual coercion.*** If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please click here or send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@gmail.com To help out our podcast, please fill out our listener survey, click here.

Smashing performance by HG once again...

I've been following HG for a couple of years now. I've purchased close to 10 of his books and read every article he has on his website. He's fascinating, if not aggravating. I give him 4 stars because even though he has valuable knowledge about narcissists and the damage they cause others, his delivery is just too cold and uncaring.

Narcissist Apocalypse

This show has helped me to validate my experiences and feelings as well as being me a sense of closure in understanding that what’s happened to and continues happening to me is never understandable or justifiable. This show is the one and only place I feel others actually understand what I’ve experienced and can verbalize, identify, label and name those experiences. This is the single most important initiator and facilitator of my healing journey. I give this show 10 stars out of 5 stars and highly recommend it to anyone who has a narc in their life or the life of a loved one!

A recovery must!

I'm recently out of a narcissistic relationship and this pod cast has done so much for me in helping me to recover. Hearing all these stories helped me tremendously to understand exactly what i was dealing with and that im not alone. Finally i understand and can move on knowing there was nothing i could do to change my ex but only learn from my experience and make changes in myself. Thank you Chad! you are helping thousands!

So helpful!

I feel so much better knowing that I'm not alone. I feel bad that so many of us have to go through this in our lifetime, but I'm glad that so many of us can heal. It gives me hope for myself.

So many survivors!

I really enjoy hearing the stories told directly by the survivors rather than the host retelling the story like so many other podcasts. My mind is blown by how many have gone through narcissistic abuse. Hearing the stories has helped in my own healing journey, and knowing that I am not alone. Finally, these narcissistic people are being brought to light. To anyone going through this, YOU ARE NOT CRAZY as the narcissist would like you and everyone else to believe about yourself!

Boring

I struggled trying to keeping interested with her story. She was aware of what a jerk he was towards her and still took it. So that made me have a hard time empathizing with her. She fell for him hook line and sinker. She seems to have a thing for these types of men. Pathetic and irritating. Be single lady!!! Work on yourself and you'll be better off!
