In this powerful episode of The Femme Cast, I reveal the 5 distinct stages of narcissistic abuse, sharing my personal journey to illuminate the signs and dynamics of each phase. If you’re trying to understand narcissistic relationships or heal from narcissistic abuse, this episode is for you. We’ll explore:

1. Idealization – The honeymoon phase where the narcissist overwhelms you with love, admiration, and grand gestures, making you feel like you’ve met your perfect match.
2. Devaluation – The subtle shift where the narcissist begins to criticize, belittle, and gaslight you, eroding your self-esteem and sense of reality.
3. Discard – The abrupt and often cruel phase where the narcissist abandons you, leaving you feeling confused, hurt, and betrayed.
4. Hoovering – The manipulative phase where the narcissist tries to pull you back into the cycle with false promises and grand illusions.
5. Defamation – Uncommon to most articles on the internet, I identify this as the 5th and final phase. The damaging defamation phase where the narcissist spreads lies and rumors about you to protect their image and take control of the narrative.

This Episode is For You If:

• You suspect you might be dating a narcissist and need clarity on their behavior.
• You’ve been involved with narcissists in the past and want to know what to avoid next time.
• Someone you care about might be involved with a narcissist, and you’re unsure how to help them.
