Some stories don’t begin with clarity—they begin with confusion, survival, and a slow unraveling of everything you thought was true. In this episode of the Moving Forward with Hope – Narcissistic Abuse Recovery podcast, we share a deeply personal account of what it’s like to live through—and begin to heal from—narcissistic abuse.

This isn’t a list of red flags. It’s a lived experience.

We explore:

• The emotional and physical toll of prolonged narcissistic relationships
• How chronic stress and survival mode can manifest in the body
• The shame and silence that often follow trauma—and why breaking that silence matters
• The ripple effects of going no contact with family and losing long-standing relationships
• The slow, nonlinear process of rebuilding identity, health, and hope

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt like they were the only one. For those who’ve been dismissed, disbelieved, or told to “just move on.” It’s a reminder that healing is messy, grief is real, and your story—no matter how painful—is worth telling.
