Health EN ↓ 30 episodes

Strings Attached: Surviving the Narcissist is a trauma-informed podcast for people recovering from narcissistic abuse — from partners, parents, family, friends, or workplace dynamics. Hosted by two survivors speaking from lived experience, the podcast gently unpacks gaslighting, trauma bonding, love-bombing, emotional manipulation, and covert control without judgement or pressure to “move on.” If you’ve felt confused, emotionally drained, too sensitive, or ashamed for staying or doubting yourself — you’re not alone. Each episode offers clarity, validation, and grounded support.
