  • Cutting ties with toxic Parents - with special guest Dr Sherrie Campbell
    Aug 12 2024

    How do you cut ties with toxic Parents and other Family Members?

    Going no contact with a narcissistic, toxic parent is difficult. It takes time to understand this parent is never going to change and that you have the right to stop the abuse. The fear, obligation and guilt the narcissistic parent instils in their adult child keeps their child stuck in the abusive environment, where they can never pay off the debt for being born.
    In this episode I speak with Dr Sherrie Campbell, a TED speaker, and world expert on toxic families, who provides incredible insights and practical strategies to escape, and heal from this familial abuse.

    In this discussion with Dr Sherrie we unpack......
    *How the toxic parent conditions their child to 'tolerate' the abuse out of a sense of obligation.
    *How the toxic parent attempts to destroy your self-worth, and why they MUST do this.
    *The important of accepting who they are and grieving, and soooo much more!

  • Why does the narcissist come back after they've discarded you? - The Hoover manoeuvre explained
    Aug 11 2024

    Why does the narcissist come back after they've discarded you? - The Hoover Manoeuvre explained.
    The narcissist will 'hoover' you back (meaning to suck you back, the term being coined from the Hoover vacuum cleaner), to regain control of you, and to make sure you never forget about them.
    Narcissists have a way of reappearing in your life, often when you least expect it. After enduring the pain and chaos of narcissistic abuse, it's natural to ask yourself, "Why do they come back?" Whether it's a sudden phone call, an unexpected visit, or a chance encounter at the grocery store, the narcissist's return can be bewildering, especially when they seemed so eager to move on with someone else.

    In this episode we unpack...
    * Why does the narcissist hoover you?
    * The Trap of the "Let’s Just Be Friends" Line
    * The Confusion of narcissistic Hoovering
    * What are the classic strategies the narcissist uses to hoover you?
    * What does it mean if you don't get hoovered?
    * Does every victim of narcissistic abuse get hoovered?
    * What happens each time you potentially fall for the hoover?
    * How do you stop the narcissist from hoovering you?
    * The Danger of Unblocking

  • Police response to domestic violence - With special guest Police Detective Brandon Wootan
    Aug 1 2024

    Why do victims of domestic violence not trust the police?
    A Detective Police Officer discusses the way forward with his empathic and professional model to stem the global epidemic of domestic violence.

    An understanding of coercive Control, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse are not issues that the average person associates with police. Historically, discrimination, racism, and domestic violence stereotypes suggest the police 'have no idea' and take the situation in front of their domestic violence call out, for what it seems.

    In this episode I discuss with Detective Police Officer Brandon Wootan the gaps in helping victims of domestic violence, not only with the first call from the victim, but an understanding, empathic response that validates the victim’s trauma and helps them to realise a better and more worthy ffuture.
    (Apologies for the audio quality! There was no capacity whatsoever to reduce noise reduction. The discussion however, between myself and Brandon on the other side of the world will be worth it!)

    If you found this episode informative, I would absolutely love it if you could rate this podcast, leave a review, and please share, Share, SHARE! Help to spread awareness around Narcissistic Abuse, so there's more support and justice for survivors!
