What happens when the abuser doesn’t fit the stereotype?

For this episode of Lessons in Discernment, I’m joined by Khelsy (@noonesmad)—a Paris-based content creator exploring queerness, neurodivergence, and life after narcissistic abuse.

Together, we unpack the myths surrounding abuse in queer relationships, the role of U-hauling culture in masking unhealthy dynamics, and how neurodivergence can shape both vulnerability and resilience in recovery.

Khelsy shares how working with a narcissistic abuse recovery coach and a therapist using ketamine-assisted psychotherapy helped her reclaim her truth, and how storytelling became her way back to power.

This episode is a reminder that representation saves lives—and that healing, humor, and honesty can coexist.
