A recovery from narcissistic abuse looks nothing like a regular divorce or disengagement. It is more of a programming deprogramming from brainwashing after being in a cult. It is waking up from a dream only to discover that you're lost in a dark and stormy sea with no way to get to shore.
Imagine being tossed aside like yesterday's news, only to find yourself battling through the darkest year of your life. That’s the reality for many who endure narcissistic abuse. In this gripping episode of 'N.A.R.C. Troopers', host Prajinta Pesqueda shares a deeply personal story marking the one-year anniversary of her 'discard' by a narcissistic ex-husband. She reveals the harrowing journey of survival and the staggering emotional toll it takes. Prajinta opens up about the trauma that followed her sudden abandonment.
She recounts how her ex, who once admitted to having Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD), later denied it, leaving her to grapple with confusion and heartache. With the validation from her long-term therapist, who had diagnosed her ex years ago, Prajinta discusses the unique challenges of recovering from narcissistic abuse—a process far more grueling than a typical breakup or divorce.
This episode dives into complex topics like trauma bonding and intermittent reinforcement, which can trap survivors in a cycle of emotional turmoil. Prajinta describes her experience as waking up from a nightmare only to find herself adrift in a stormy sea, searching for solid ground. Her candid narrative is both heart-wrenching and enlightening, shedding light on the often misunderstood impacts of narcissistic abuse.
Throughout the episode, Prajinta emphasizes the importance of reclaiming one's voice and truth as pivotal steps in the healing journey. She also shares how her faith and spirituality have been lifelines during her recovery. Listeners will find valuable insights and practical advice for those struggling to break free from the clutches of narcissistic abuse. Tune in to hear Prajinta’s powerful story and gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to navigate the treacherous waters of recovery.
Whether you’re a survivor or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a beacon of hope and guidance.
