Why Can’t I Remember Clearly in My Relationship?

from Narcissist Apocalypse: Patterns of Abuse · host Abuse Survivor Network

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks about why so many survivors struggle to remember clearly during an abusive relationship and after it ends. He breaks down how gaslighting, denial, smear campaigns, exhaustion, fear, and chronic stress can leave someone doubting their own mind. This episode is about fuzzy memories, missing pieces, self-doubt, and the shame survivors can carry when they cannot tell their story in a straight line. It’s also about understanding that this confusion is not proof that nothing happened. It can be a sign of what abuse did to your nervous system, your sense of safety, and your ability to trust yourself again.
