Rising Above Narcissistic Abuse [228]


Listen Later

When twelve women come together to write a book about rising above narcissistic abuse, you know they are a force to be reckoned with. Today’s episode is a sneak-peak into their stories and how they escaped their abusers, what their healing journey has been like since then, and more.


Join Ina Johnson Meyers, her co-authors, and yours truly as we discuss red flags, how religion can keep you in bondage, and how these women gained the courage to leave their abusive situations. Spoiler alert: God is at the center of all of these women’s stories, and He wants to give you the courage to rise above narcissistic abuse, too. 


Key Points From This Episode:

  • Why writing “Rising Above Narcissistic Abuse” was easy or difficult for each individual author. 
  • A conversation about red flags in relationships. 
  • Why listening to your body is so important. 
  • Setting boundaries with a narcissistic. 
  • What the breaking point was for some of these women when it came to leaving their abusive, narcissistic partner.  
  • Why relationship over religion is key.
