I Don't Actually Miss You. (The Truth About the Hoover)

Why did your narcissistic ex just reach out? In this video, I’m pulling back the curtain on the "Hoover Playbook" and explaining the exact psychology behind why I used to reach out to my ex-partners.

If you’ve received a text saying "I miss you" or "I’m sorry," it’s easy to believe it’s a sign of change. However, narcissistic hoovering is rarely about love; it’s a calculated manipulation tactic designed to regain power, control, and narcissistic supply. I’m breaking down the three stages of the reach-out so you can see the traps before you fall back into the cycle of abuse.

What we cover in this video:

The "Sentimentality" Bait: Why I used to mention old songs or memories to bypass your boundaries.

The False Epiphany: How narcissists use fake apologies to give the illusion of growth.

Testing the Lock: Why the reach-out is often just a test to see if you are still an available source of supply.

Breaking the Trauma Bond: Why going "No Contact" is the only way to stop the playbook from working.

If you are currently healing from narcissistic abuse or trying to understand a toxic breakup, this "confessional" will help you stop second-guessing your decision to stay away.
