If you’re divorcing a narcissist, you may be tempted to use your therapy records to prove PTSD or emotional abuse in court. But handing over those records can backfire in devastating ways. In this powerful conversation with Bree Bonchay—psychotherapist and founder of World Narcissistic Abuse Awareness Day—we break down the hidden risks of using therapy notes in high-conflict divorce. From confidentiality concerns to how narcissists twist emotional health records against you, this episode reveals why courts don’t give therapy notes the weight you expect. Instead, Bree and I share safer, more effective strategies to document abuse and protect your children—without giving a narcissist ammo against you.

A Novel About Narcissistic Abuse: In today’s interview, I’m talking with my friend Arielle Ford about her powerful new book, The Love Thief—a spiritual novel that explores narcissistic abuse, betrayal, karma, and emotional healing in a way that’s both entertaining and deeply validating. When I read the manuscript of The Love Thief, I described it as Eat Pray Love meets Dirty John—because it blends heart, heartbreak, healing, and hard truth all in one unforgettable story. If you’ve experienced narcissistic abuse—or you’re trying to help others understand it—this novel will open minds, hearts, and conversations.

Narcissist abuse can leave you feeling lost, invisible, and unsure of who you truly are. In this video, I share how I began to find myself after abuse — step by step, belief by belief. As someone who was raised by narcissistic parents, married a narcissist, and later saw these patterns play out through the next generation, I know the deep identity crisis this kind of abuse can cause. I didn’t know what I liked, how to speak up, or even what I believed. I was shaped by others for years… until I decided to reclaim my life. We talk about the emotional work, the journaling process I use and teach, and how even small things (like eggs, shoes, and TV shows) reveal big truths about what you really want.

Have you ever wondered if EMDR could really help survivors of narcissistic abuse and trauma bonding? In this video, I talk with Katrina Reese Newton — a trauma expert and EMDR therapist — to break down what EMDR is, how it works, and why it can feel almost like a “magic wand” for people stuck in cycles of rumination, PTSD, and deep emotional pain. I created this video because so many of my clients ask: “Should I try EMDR? Is it safe? How is it different from talk therapy?” Katrina explains everything — from what actually happens in an EMDR session, to why it helps you stop replaying painful memories, and how it rewires the negative beliefs planted by years of narcissistic abuse. We also talk about finding the right EMDR therapist, what questions to ask, and why EMDR can help break long-standing trauma patterns faster than traditional therapy. If you’ve spent years in therapy but still feel stuck, or if you’re curious about how to truly heal the emotional wounds left by narcissists, I hope this conversation brings clarity and hope.
