During this episode, you will learn about what the Devaluation phase is, how it happens, and the signs you are being devalued in a narcissitically abusive relationship. I talk about the extreme emotional abuse tactics, and why a narcissist's brain is biologically different.

This episode, we discuss the “Love Bomb” phase of a narcissistic abusive relationship. Using real examples, I tell you about the Love Bomb phase I experienced with my late husband, why narcissists do it, and how to know if you’re being love bombed in your relationship.
