When the narcissist moves on quickly — posting pictures, declaring “new love,” or playing house with someone else — it can feel like a punch to the gut. You start asking: Was I ever loved? Was any of it real? Why does this hurt so much when I know they were toxic?

In this raw and deeply personal episode, Licensed Therapist and Survivor Marcia Williams, LPC, breaks down what’s really happening when a narcissist replaces you — and why your pain is not weakness, but a normal nervous system response to emotional warfare.

You’ll learn:

• Why narcissists move on so quickly (and what it really means)
• How to understand your pain through the lens of trauma bonding
• The neuroscience of heartbreak after abuse
• How to start healing through boundaries, reality rehearsal, and compassion

If you’ve ever felt erased or replaced, this episode will help you find meaning in the madness and begin reclaiming peace.
