This week, we're joined by Gloria Battini,  a toxic relationship recovery coach, who spent 15 years in a toxic relationship herself.

During those 15 years, she has dealt with narcissistic abuse, she did not know who she was and experienced a loss of identity. 

Join Gloria and I as we discuss what narcissistic abuse is and the different phases of the cycle, including gaslighting.  We explore how victims of any type of abusive relationship also experience something known as trauma bonding. We'll dive deeper into what trauma bonding is and any signs you should be looking out for to understand if you or someone you know are in an abusive relationship.

And if you've ever asked the questions, do narcissists know what they're doing? We've got some answers. 

Lastly, Gloria talks about how anxiety, OCD, and seeing help for her disorders finally broke her free from her abusive relationship. We talked about what happened when she finally left the relationship and how anyone dealing with an abusive relationship can finally break free and reconnect with themselves.

Gloria is on a mission of healing, empowering, and giving a voice to all survivors of emotional abuse, toxic relationships, and narcissistic abuse. To learn more, visit her website or check her out on Instagram.
