How to Break the Narcissistic Abuse Cycle: No One is Coming to Rescue You

In this episode of Life After Narcissism, we unpack a hard but freeing truth: no one is coming to rescue you from narcissistic abuse.  Whether you’re still in the relationship or you’ve left but feel stuck, you’ll learn how manipulation, gaslighting, and distorted reality keep others from truly seeing what you’re going through, and why your own clarity and self-validation are the keys to your healing. By the end, you’ll see how educating yourself about narcissistic abuse, trusting your experience, and partnering with God can become the rescue you’ve been waiting for.

WHAT TO LISTEN FOR

• Why no one else—including friends, family, pastors, or counselors—can fully see the narcissistic manipulation taking place
• How narcissistic traits like grandiosity, lack of empathy, entitlement, and shifting masks erode your health, confidence, and faith over time
• The difference between not being responsible for the narcissist’s behavior and being responsible for how you show up for yourself now
• How educating yourself about narcissistic abuse and keeping a record of what you’ve experienced can provide the clarity and “evidence” you need when you feel weak, confused, or tempted to minimize what happened.
