Out of Crazytown: Your Guide to Divorcing a Narcissist17 Jun

📕The Narcissist's Playbook: Control, Manipulation, & Divorce w/Chelsey Cole

What is narcissistic abuse, really? And why is it so difficult to make sense of the behavior of a narcissist, especially during divorce?

In this episode, I sit down with licensed psychotherapist, speaker, and best-selling author Chelsey Brooke Cole to unpack the realities of narcissistic abuse and the lasting impact it can have on your identity, self-worth, and ability to trust yourself.

We discuss how a narcissist's need for control often escalates during divorce, the different types of narcissistic personalities, why survivors often blame themselves, and what it takes to rebuild confidence after years of manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional abuse. Chelsey also shares practical communication strategies for dealing with high-conflict personalities and offers guidance for protecting and supporting children when a narcissistic parent is involved.

In this episode, you'll learn:

What narcissistic abuse actually is
Why narcissists think and behave differently
How control and manipulation show up during divorce
The different types of narcissism
How to release shame and self-blame
What rebuilding self-worth really looks like
Communication strategies that can reduce conflict
Ways to support your children during a high-conflict divorce
