032 - Breaking Chains: Dr. Kerry McAvoy's Triumph Over Marital Gaslighting and Narcissism

On this episode, Dr. Robin Stern guides us through the captivating and deeply personal journey of Dr. Kerry McAvoy - a story marked by heartbreak, betrayal, and the insidious effects of gaslighting.

As a devoted mother, wife, and psychologist, Kerry's life took an unexpected turn after the loss of her first husband. Her second marriage seemed perfect until an unknown woman's text shattered the illusion. The words, "I've been dating your husband," plunged Kerry into a world of shock, entrapment, and conflicting emotions.

Kerry is the author of Love You More, a gripping account of surviving sophisticated psychological manipulation, a tale both deeply personal and incredibly practical, offering hope, guidance, and encouragement to those battling emotional abuse, inspiring you to break free and reclaim your life.

Join Robin as she unravels the layers of Kerry's story, focusing on the pervasive influence of gaslighting. Despite the turmoil, Kerry didn't immediately walk away. Instead, she found herself in a two-year struggle, attempting to salvage a relationship marred by manipulation and deceit.

The insidious nature of gaslighting, the constant questioning of one's reality, and the emotional turmoil are the threads woven into Kerry's narrative. Dr. Robin Stern and Dr. Kerry McAvoy navigate this exploration, shedding light on the complexities of gaslighting and its profound impact on relationships.

This episode is an examination of resilience, self-discovery, and the journey to reclaim one's truth.
