Debrief | Promises of Change, False Repair, & Emotional Caretaking in Tally’s Story

In this debrief episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon examines the patterns that kept Tally invested in a relationship that had become increasingly unsafe. The debrief explores how the dream of creating a family kept hope alive, how promises and self-awareness repeatedly reset the abuse cycle, and how Tally’s basic needs were reframed as demands. Brandon also discusses triangulation, family enabling, emotional caretaking, and how leaving after conflict allowed Tally’s former partner to control when repair happened. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode graphically discusses adult physical abuse (IPV), and strangulation. *** If you are in search of therapy from professionals dedicated to dealing with TRAUMA - Narcissist Apocalypse recommends REBOUND THERAPY and they can be reached at  hellorebound.com/na Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at [email protected] Click on the title to read about Coercive Control as Care: Signs & Patterns Sign up to our Domestic Violence Newsletter  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
