The Narcissistic Abuse Coach: This Is How They Break You Down—And Why You Still Miss Them

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Kimberly Weeks—my mentor, teacher, and one of the most insightful voices I know on the topic of narcissistic abuse. If you’ve ever felt like you were losing your sense of self, constantly questioning your reality, or stuck in a relationship that felt confusing, manipulative, or emotionally unsafe—this conversation is for you.

Kimberly brings a lifetime of personal experience and professional expertise to help unpack the real difference between narcissistic abuse and other types of relational harm. We go deep into the cycle of love bombing, devaluation, discard, and hoovering—and why it creates such a strong chemical and emotional addiction that keeps so many of us stuck.

We talk about:

The difference between abuse and narcissistic abuse

Why traditional therapy doesn’t always work for survivors

The 4 types of narcissists: overt, covert, communal, and inverted

How abusers use weaponized cognitive dissonance to break you down

Why going “no contact” is essential—and what withdrawal really looks like

What the post-separation phase reveals about who they truly are

This was more than a conversation. It was a masterclass in survival, healing, and truth-telling.

And here’s what I want you to know, if you’re listening and this resonates:

🛑 You’re not crazy.
🛑 You didn’t imagine it.
🛑 You didn’t deserve it.
🛑 You are not broken—and this wasn’t your fault.

As Kimberly says so powerfully in this episode:
“The fact that you're even going through the process of trying to understand what happened to you is proof that they did not break you.”

If this episode stirred something in you—please know you’re not alone. There is support. There is healing. And there is a future beyond the abuse that is filled with peace, clarity, and power.
