Then we have a caller who was provoked by the ex and blew up in front of the children at their house. This leads to a discussion of how narcissistic people follow the same playbook and patterns of behavior. We then delve into the inner child wounds that often leads to accepting narcissistic/toxic relationships. A view shares how difficult it is when a toxic parent actively works to destroy what was a loving relationship with a child. We finish with a caller who found the channel and was able to help lead her brother to victory dealing with a toxic ex in the very difficult Canadian family court system

In this show we discuss some examples of how a narcissistic ex won’t leave you alone. How they will come back and try to re-insert themselves back into your mind. This start will a comment about how after four years an engaged ex shows up at the workplace to give back papers and photos. Next we have a caller who’s uninvolved ex decides to use the court system to try and pushing the mother of their child. There is a discussion about how much pain is involved in recovery and how hard it is to fight the funk of depression. We end the show with a walk down memory lane where Duane talks about how he met Debby.

Validation is a critical aspect of healing from narcissistic abuse and toxic relationships. It’s difficult to find people to understand and for us to find our own understanding. In this episode we discuss validation, karma, warning the new “supply”, or asking the old about their experience. The show rounds out with a discussion on forgiveness and how to regain our lives after this toxic experiences. Finally we talk about my own person “warning signs” that I experienced early in the relationship.

In this episode we start off talking about how triggers effect people. Not in the “I’m offended and trigger” but real post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) way. We then take a return caller who is struggling with how their ex is about to recruit everyone from friends, evaluators, nanny’s and how it is driving them crazy. Then there is a rant on double binds and how “fighting” with someone like this is an exercise in frustration. We close with a caller who’s ex keeps coming back and wanting to “move back in”.

Panic attacks and anxiety! How in the world does one go through something this traumatic and overcome those panic attacks and constant anxiety? We talk about this in todays episode of the show. The conversations also delves into growing up in a toxic household, what if we had full custody, why an ex would want a divorce BUT still want to have sex, and the Caleb Leverett controversy.

Today’s show starts with a discussion on how “things” happen and tend to point us in the right direction. Even though our experiences are catastrophic and traumatic it can ultimately lead to a change in your life that is profound and ultimately very positive. We then go to a caller from India who had moved to the United States and after a failed toxic relationship had to return home to India. He is struggling with validation and purging the recurring thoughts and feeling out of his head.

Double binds are something we have to deal with in toxic narcissistic relationships. In this episode we talk about how bad they can be and how we are forced to fight things that we may not want to. One caller is dragged back into court because of visitation issues, another is representing himself in our, and finally a dad is struggling to support his daughter and missing her at the same time.

In today’s show we have a recurring theme of how toxic narcissistic people follow very similar patterns. It is as if they ALL follow the same playbook - which they ultimately do. It is very important to look at the actions verses the words of the person. This also means it is very important to “listen to your gut” and watch and believe the warning signs when you see/hear them!

The first week of the new show is complete! The show starts with a discussion from a viewer who’s ex is sending “friendly” emails and newsletters to their family trying to recruit them to their side.

We received a voicemail where I viewer asked that we discuss how narcissists can be dangerous. Plus we have a call who wanted to share a hoover success story and how they were able to thwart it!
