Guarding Your Intimacy: Setting Boundaries in Dating After Narcissistic Abuse
“Your sexual history is nobody's business under any circumstances, and you do not have to share those things with someone. If someone is pushing you for that information, it's probably because they intend to control you coercively and that they're going to abuse you sexually and humiliate you sexually as well.”
When stepping back into the dating world after surviving narcissistic abuse, it's crucial to recognize and protect your boundaries. Mandy Friedman, a licensed professional clinical counselor, dives into this sensitive topic in her episode 'Your Sexual History is Nobody's Business'.

By setting firm boundaries, you can safeguard your emotional well-being and ensure that only trustworthy partners earn your confidence. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of dating after enduring narcissistic abuse.
