In the season two finale of Narcissists, Gaslighters, and Cheaters, Oh My!, hosts Behk and LAH go deeper than ever as Behk shares the story that started it all — her very first encounter with a narcissist. At just 15 years old, Behk found herself in a toxic relationship with a 21-year-old man she met online. What began as a seemingly innocent connection soon unraveled into a web of manipulation and harm, leaving scars that would impact her and others for decades.

Joined by her best friend as a special guest, Behk revisits the ripple effects of this early trauma, the permanent marks it left, and the shocking revelation she uncovered after reaching out to a recent ex of her abuser. Over the years, this man’s behavior has only escalated, combining substance abuse and worsening mental health issues to become a significant danger.

The conversation takes an even more personal turn as Behk’s best friend opens up about her own experience with a narcissistic relationship, one tied to Behk’s. Together, they discuss the red flags they wish they had recognized, the importance of breaking the silence, and the power of sharing your story to help others find healing.

This season finale is an emotional and empowering episode you won’t want to miss. Tune in for a raw, honest, and ultimately hopeful conversation about survival, resilience, and reclaiming your voice.
