Narcissistic abuse is often spoken about in whispers - if at all. In this episode with Teena, we unravel what it really looks like: both in the quiet, subtle ways it erodes self-trust within relationships and in the bigger picture of how systems like patriarchy, religion, culture and capitalism allow these dynamics to thrive.

We’ll also explore an often-overlooked truth: why neurodivergent individuals can be especially vulnerable to narcissistic patterns; not because of weakness, but because of how society misunderstands and under-supports difference.

This is a conversation that goes beneath the surface, naming the shame and isolation so many carry in silence, and offering a path back to identity, healing and freedom.

• What narcissistic abuse looks like on the ground - subtle vs. overt patterns that undermine identity and self-worth
• How larger systems (patriarchy, religion, culture, capitalism) create fertile ground for narcissistic dynamics
• Why neurodivergent individuals are particularly at risk - and how societal misunderstanding plays a role
• The hidden shame, silence, and isolation many survivors experience
• Pathways to healing: rebuilding self-trust, reclaiming identity and reconnecting with your own voice

If you’ve ever questioned your worth, doubted your reality, or felt small in the presence of someone else’s control - this episode will give you language, context, and insight that helps you begin to name your experience and step into your freedom.
