Helping Me Leave
**I left. Thank you to everyone in this community. This has been life changing for me. I’m a woman currently married to another female “narcissist.” Narcissism doesn’t discriminate. A life of competition, entitlement, projection, gas lighting....being silenced and worn down by abuse (emotional and physical) in the most intricate of forms. Thank you to Chad! You are doing something so important, and I have personally heard things in this pod cast that I will carry with me for the rest of my journey through leaving my narcissistic wife and healing.
Great Podcast
Hearing the actual voices in their own words describing and sharing life experiences of narcissistic abuse has been so cathartic. It is real, relatable and not clinical.
Life saver
Literally a life saver! Cannot express how much this helps me understand my current situation. How it makes me feel less lonely and more connected to others going through similar stuff!
Married to a narc
I thought I was losing my mind, I began disliking myself and finding faults in my friends. I’m so glad I found this podcast. I can relate to the stories and now I know it’s not me that’s crazy.
Wonderful show
I really have enjoyed the show, living with a narcissist as well. However, the new formatting of putting people’s stories into “acts” I feel is distasteful and leaves me unsettled. It’s terminology that distracts from the seriousness of the issues and just reminds me over all of how much narcissist’s act on over all. Please take it out of the show, it just seems like it’s a cute thing to do for a more casual show.
Got Me Through Some Tough Times
This show saved me during some dark days. It made me feel validated and seen. I can't say enough about how much I've learned through everyone's experiences. It's wonderful.
This podcast was exactly what I needed...
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 switched back on in me. The stories sounded so familiar, and I finally found out what to call what happened to me. There’s nothing quite like that, especially when you go on for some time wondering if anyone could understand what you’ve been through. I’m incredibly thankful for this show, the amazing people featured on it, and for the host for being able to provide a platform as organized and sincere as this one. It’s the best thing I found in 2019, and just in time.
great community
I came upon this podcast after dreaming that I was looking up podcasts about narcissists. I was looking for validation of my hunch, and it turns out I was (unfortunately) right. I really love hearing inspiring stories of how people leave their abusers, and that healing is possible. I feel stronger with every episode I listen to, and I’m so glad I broke free of the narc in my life.
So happy I found this
Hey there from Germany as well and thank you Chad and Melissa and all the survivors who keep this podcast going! Your stories help me so much figuring out my own survivor Story (which is not easy to figure out bec I grew up with a narcissistic mother and still struggle with simple questions like „is this normal?“). It helps understanding, accepting your story and even own up to it... i‘ve never had a talk with a survivor in Person in my life, but can relate to many of these stories. Thank you guys for sharing- this is so important! And thank you Chad of course for generating a platform that helps and listens!
Must Listen!
I am absolutely LOVING this podcast! I was searching for podcasts related to narcissistic abuse, but I stopped looking once I found this one. The interviews with real survivors has opened my eyes to so much. They are inspiring, heartbreaking, validating, and educational. I have already had several AHA moments, taken notes, laughed, and cried. I am so appreciative of Chad and the guests on his show who are willing to share their stories. Surviving this sort of insidious abuse is so difficult, but this podcast has already given me a lot of hope. THANK YOU!!!
Healing
This podcast is fabulous. The real-life stories have helped me realize how unhealthy my old relationship actually was, which has helped with the healing process. I highly recommend this podcast.
Yes!
About Germany yeppppp I live here and ufffff hard stuff they are hard as hell well I am happy found this podcast!
A lightbulb has turned on
Listening to these stories has been like a revelation to me. Has started to bring up little memories that appeared to be so minute at the time but still caused that little pang, or seed of doubt, now I can see them for what they were - red flags. This podcast is brilliant. Highly recommend to anyone who is in any type of relationship where something is just not quite right.
Lifeline
This podcast has been so helpful and supportive during my marriage with a narcissist. The emotional and physical abuse has been so confusing and emotionally exhausting. Thank you for all your work. It’s been a lifeline.
Very helpful
Chad has put together a very helpful podcast. Thanks for believing us Chad.
Just found this podcast
Just found this podcast and working my way through the interviews. Absolutely loved the one with Louise.
A must for anyone ensnared by abuse
Wasn’t sure I’d ever feel hope again until tapping into your podcast. Thank you for giving survivors a platform for healing and helping others. Your brilliance and voice is a gift to all of us, Chad.
Love this
I love this podcast. It has truly been helping me heal. Thank you so much!
Tough subject - awesome host
Chad is an incredibly caring, funny and genuinely good human being. More than a host Chad is like a new friend everyone wants.
I can’t get enough of these stories!
I listen to these podcasts at bedtime. I find that it brings me comfort to listen to others who have gone through similar things as I have. Chad becomes that familiar friend over the radio. Thanks to all the women who share their story and thanks Chad for doing your part to let us get our stories out there. This brings awareness to the kind of monsters that walk among us disguised as charming heroes until the love bombing stops and the mask falls off.
Love the podcasts!
I love that others are helping themselves to heal here, as well as help others who have been through something similar. Chad is VERY down to earth, and is helping educate others and help in the road to recovery for so many!
Excellent podcast for narcissistic abuse survivors!
I’m so excited this podcast exists. It’s so helpful knowing these other stories exist in the world. Your guests are so brave to share their stories. Thank you.
Helps to listen
I’ve found these podcasts and testimonials so very helpful. The stories of course are heartbreaking. I hope the tellers know how much disclosing helps people come to terms with their own abuse and that speaking out empowers them in their journey. Thank you Chad!! 🥳
