In this powerful episode, we explore why women who have experienced narcissistic abuse are often met with disbelief and skepticism. We break down the factors that contribute to this dismissal—from the watered-down use of "narcissist" in popular culture to abusers' masterful image management and the invisible nature of emotional abuse. The episode then shifts to practical advice, offering five empowering strategies for survivors: stop seeking external validation, find supportive communities, reclaim your narrative, practice radical self-compassion, and become your own expert through education. The core message reminds survivors that their truth remains valid regardless of whether others believe it, and healing doesn't depend on convincing skeptics.
