Behind Closed Doors

Accredited psychotherapists Tina Leonard and Laura Mc Hugh Harrington from Lighthouse Wellness Events explore the often misunderstood reality of narcissistic abuse.    Drawing on both professional expertise and lived experience, they discuss how manipulation, gaslighting, coercive control, and emotional abuse can profoundly impact a person's mental health and sense of identity.    Together, we unpack the warning signs of narcissistic relationships, challenge common misconceptions, and examine why survivors often struggle to leave or even recognise the abuse they are experiencing.    The discussion highlights the importance of trauma-informed support, healthy boundaries, self-compassion, and the possibility of healing and recovery.   Whether you are a survivor, supporting a loved one, a helping professional, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of trauma and recovery, this episode offers insight, validation, and hope. Above all, it reminds listeners that they are not alone and that healing is possible.
