This week, we break down the four stages of narcissistic abuse: Idealization, Devaluation, Discard, and Return (Hoovering). Backed by psychological research, this episode reveals how narcissists use sophisticated manipulation techniques like love bombing and intermittent reinforcement to create emotional dependency. Whether you're questioning your current relationship or healing from past narcissistic abuse, understanding these patterns is your first step toward freedom. Learn to recognize the warning signs, protect yourself from manipulation, and begin your journey to recovery.
