Narcissist Apocalypse: Patterns of Abuse14 Heinä

Rerelease | Healing From Complex Trauma & Narcissistic Abuse

In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with clinical psychologist and author Dr. Ingrid Clayton about narcissistic abuse, complex trauma, and the long journey toward believing your own experiences.

Dr. Clayton shares how growing up within an abusive and gaslighting family system shaped her nervous system, relationships, and sense of self. She explains why emotional abuse can remain hidden for decades, with its effects often mistaken for personal failings, addiction, perfectionism, or an inability to maintain healthy relationships.

Brandon and Dr. Clayton discuss complex PTSD, fawning, trauma reenactment, toxic shame, and the painful hope that an abusive or enabling parent will eventually acknowledge the truth. They also explore why familiar relationship dynamics can feel safe to the body, even when those dynamics are harmful.
