Welcome to Narshole the Lonely Monster - Narshole Escape Tools (NET). An obscure and often inane look at what makes us tick with them narcissists, how to avoid them, how to manage them, leave them and more importantly - how to recover from them. Disclaimer: I’m not a psychologist, a counsellor or coach (yet - in training!). These podcasts are therefore only formed from my own ideas born from my own perceptive experience of just two highly abusive sorts. I’m therefore not going to be right or even wrong and also welcome challenges to the discussion so we can all learn from each other.

    Let's explore modern narcissism, according to data. That's metrics, not the dude from StarTrek who would find this all most bemusing right before he glitched out at the madness of our existence, even with our kind having recorded history of the fall of empires long gone and yet... Here we are. All very likely and rather cleverly managed by narcissists at the helm and when many hugs won't fix it, we have to manage our expectations of it. Welcome to the show.

    Hello! Welcome back to the Podcast which is now under the name of Together Through Trauma which is to say that once you've experienced the trauma of emotional abuse that at some point you need to transition to rebuilding self or to enhance your own mindfulness and wellbeing post abuse. We don't want you to stay stuck at anger or any other negative emotion associated with the experience rather we must recognise our strengths and opportunities in the aftermath. We are here to see if we can facilitate that transition - sure, your ex will likely crop up as contextual logic or a footnote in our lives but we'll also examine our whole world view and where we fit - all from the experience of why emotional abuse happened to us in the first place. You are powerful and full of light with your gift of empathy, it's now time to resurge and use it more wisely and with greater effect toward self and those that you love. Peace ✌️

    Welcome back to NTLM the Podcast season four and now, episode 5! Having given away the NTLM writing space and some 50k followers I've decided to go full time YouTube and these here Podcasts - hopefully the technical levels will also raise up some! Not this episode though, this one's on the fly, on my phone. I know that at some point we've all received a message like this "Hi, how are you? x" from our known/unknown Narcissistically challenged exes - even ones who we've enacted that greatest boundary of no contact against. This happened to me today and resulted in this podcast. It's a little manic perhaps, but there are some quintessential points to be made along my rant. If you like what you hear, if it helps at all or even if you think it could help someone else today then please consider sharing it or recommending it to others. Also, don't forget there is now a fully functional website and blog space at www.narcissistescapetools.co.uk where you can subscribe for free to receive no more than two emails per month in a news letter and a general poke to see how your all doing out there. As ever, I hope this finds you well and powerfully surging forwards taking the experiential learning from abuse and using it to your complete advantage in all knowing that actually, you are the strength, you always were. It's why they chose you. Enjoy the show, peace ✌️
