A survivor’s guide through narcissistic abuse, domestic violence, and the war nobody sees.

Most survivors aren’t called strong because they healed.
They’re called strong because they survived hell.

This opening episode cuts through the bullshit and tells the truth about narcissistic abuse:
The begging.
The bargaining.
The fawning.
The collapse.
The moment you’re on the floor telling your abuser “I’ll be good” just to make the pain stop.

This isn’t Instagram trauma porn.
It’s not “healing aesthetics.”
It’s the raw anatomy of survival in a narcissist’s world.

We break down:

• What real narcissistic abuse looks like (not TikTok buzzwords)

• Why survivors are triggered by being told they’re “strong”

• Nervous system responses that kept you alive

• Why leaving doesn’t end the war

• How abusers weaponize shame, silence, and dependency

• Relearning how to breathe after the escape

You didn’t become strong.
You adapted to survive.

If you’re still living in it, if you escaped and still shake when you sleep, or if you’re rebuilding yourself from rubble — you are seen here.
