Narcissist Apocalypse: Patterns of Abuse

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Eaton shares her story of domestic violence, coercive control, and narcissistic abuse. As an immigrant to London, Eaton dealt with the landmines of people trying to take advantage of her everywhere. When Eaton met her husband, he love-bombed her into feeling safe with him. However, that changed quickly when the physical abuse began, and that turned into a 20-year battle for survival.  It's a story of love bombing, core beliefs, inter-generational trauma, jealousy, control, manipulation, immigration issues, financial abuse, mental health, coping mechanisms, self-acceptance, trauma bonds, divorce process, personal identity, resilience, healing journeys, isolation, put downs, changing tactics, sexual abuse, and the imperfect victim. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses physical abuse and sexual abuse. *** If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please click here [https://www.narcissistapocalypse.com/guest-form] or send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@gmail.com To help out our podcast, please fill out our listener survey, click here.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Regan about her abusive relationship with a narcissistic philanthropist. After she moved in with her abuser, Regan became a prisoner in her own home, subject to daily psychological abuse, threats, and physical pain, but nothing that would leave a mark. After all, Regan's abuser was deemed a pillar in the community, so his abusive behavior needed to stay behind closed doors.  It's a story of boundaries, shame, guilt, physical abuse, threats, put downs, identity erosion, gaslighting, blame shifting, control, isolation, escape plans, minimization, denial, confidence, self worth, and stalking. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses physical abuse. *** If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please click here [https://www.narcissistapocalypse.com/guest-form] or send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@gmail.com To help out our podcast, please fill out our listener survey, click here.
