Narcissist Apocalypse: Patterns of Abuse26 Apr

Charly & The Abusive Recovery Coach

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Charly shares her story of seeking help after abuse and ending up in a relationship with the recovery practitioner she trusted. After two painful relationships, Charly found someone online who seemed to understand what she had been through. This person spoke the language of abuse recovery, worked with Charly professionally, and felt like someone who finally got it. But the professional relationship slowly crossed into something personal, then romantic. What followed was a relationship filled with broken promises, shifting stories, gaslighting, boundary violations, and the painful realization that the person who knew Charly's wounds could also use them against her.

It’s a story about emotional abuse, gaslighting, abuse recovery, trauma bonds, trust issues, betrayal, professional boundaries, boundary violations, blurred boundaries, unregulated recovery spaces, being a fixer, loyalty, guilt, shame, LGBTQ survivor story, lies, broken promises, inconsistency, smear campaigns, false accusations, physical intimidation, and addiction.

Content Warning - This episode discusses intimate partner violence, sexual coercion/assault, and animal abuse.
