Ash & The Invalidating Narcissist | Domestic Violence & Narcissistic Abuse

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Ash about her abusive relationship. Ash grew up with a narcissistic father and a co-dependent mother, which shaped her into a people pleaser. Ash loved creating art, but her passion was never championed by anyone... until she met her abusive ex. He praised her passion and Ash felt seen. Things were good, but then the control, abuse, and infidelity began. It's a story of isolation, invalidation, being seen, cognitive dissonance, love bombing, infidelity, hoovering, people pleasing, gaslighting, self-worth, and manipulation.
