Dating a narcissist can feel like a rollercoaster of confusion, self-doubt, and emotional highs and lows. In this powerful episode, we unpack the 10 most common signs you're dating a narcissist—signs that are often disguised as love, charm, or even care. From love bombing and gaslighting to emotional withdrawal and future faking, these patterns are subtle at first but deeply damaging over time.

This episode explores how narcissists use manipulation, charm, and psychological tactics to gain control and erode their partner’s sense of reality. We take a closer look at the emotional abuse cycles that often go unnoticed in narcissistic relationships, helping listeners recognise the red flags before they escalate. If you've ever felt like you're walking on eggshells, constantly questioning your worth, or doubting your own perception of reality in a relationship, this episode will bring much-needed clarity.

Listeners will learn how to identify covert manipulation tactics, why narcissists behave the way they do in romantic relationships, and how emotional dependency is created through trauma bonding. This deep dive reveals not only the surface-level behaviours but the psychological reasons behind them—so you can spot the difference between genuine affection and narcissistic control.

This episode is especially relevant for those dealing with a narcissistic partner, wondering if their relationship is toxic, or healing from emotional abuse. It’s a must-hear for anyone questioning whether they’ve been love-bombed, devalued, or discarded by someone who never truly loved them, only controlled them.
