Listen Later

If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so hard to leave a narcissist, even after you see their true colors, this episode is for you. Dr. David E. Clarke, Christian psychologist and author, explains the real reasons why escaping a narcissist isn’t immediate or easy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why victims of narcissistic abuse often stay longer than they want to

  • The emotional, psychological, and spiritual barriers to leaving

  • How manipulation, fear, and trauma bonds keep you stuck

  • What you can expect during the process of breaking free

  • How faith, support, and the right plan make true escape possible

Dr. Clarke offers hope, wisdom, and practical advice for anyone feeling trapped in a toxic relationship. You’ll discover you’re not alone, you’re not weak, and there’s a path to freedom—no matter how impossible it seems right now.
