About this listen

I grew up in a narcissistic household. And because of that, I walked straight into a narcissistic marriage. Not because I was weak — because it felt like home. The chaos was familiar. The hot and cold, the walking on eggshells, the love that came and went without warning — my nervous system had been trained for all of it long before I ever knew what narcissistic abuse was.

In this episode I'm talking about why I wrote The Empath's Dilemma: Loving What Hurts You — the book I needed and couldn't find. We're going into the origin wound, how narcissistic abuse in childhood conditions survivors to repeat the dynamic in adult relationships, and why empaths don't just fall into these relationships — they fit into them.

This one is personal. And I think it might be exactly what you needed to hear today.
