Entangled! Pathological Lovers and Malignant Narcissism

Why do toxic relationships feel impossible to leave? In this episode, Dr. Nae and I explore trauma bonds—how narcissistic abuse uses love bombing, control, and betrayal to trap partners. We reveal why hope for change keeps the cycle alive and what true healing looks like: creating a safe space for empowerment and growth. If toxic love has you stuck, this episode offers real insight and hope. Here is a chapter of Dr. Nae's "Run Like Hell" for free. https://heal.drnae.com/podcast-book-giveawayContact her directly here:  https://drnae.com/If you are interested in a consultation or seeking virtual therapy services, Dr. Mazzella is accepting new patients.
