Podcasts about abusers

In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Lana shares her story of growing up as a fixer, surviving childhood abuse, and later entering a relationship with a jealous and physically abusive partner who used love bombing, blame-shifting, addiction, sexual coercion, and violence to keep control. What began as intensity and romance quickly turned into accusations, isolation, fear, and repeated physical abuse. Lana explains how the abuser's jealousy became a weapon, how his addiction was used as something she was supposed to fix, and how the relationship slowly trained her to doubt herself, shrink her needs, and survive by going quiet. It's a story of coercive control, IPV, sexual coercion, victim playing, belittling, shame, fixing, child sexual abuse, sowing the seeds of doubt, fear, isolation, gaslighting, blame shifting, love bombing, trauma bonding, addiction, minimization, crazy making, self blame, bad police officers, intimidation, rage, depression, low self-esteem, disappearing acts, and jealousy. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode graphically discusses child hood sexual abuse, adult physical abuse (IPV), and adult sexual coercion/abuse/assault. *** Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@pm.me 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.

In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon discusses how victim-playing abusers use guilt, empathy, and blame-shifting to make survivors feel responsible for the abuse they are experiencing. The episode looks at how an abuser may present themselves as wounded, abandoned, misunderstood, or mistreated in order to gain sympathy early in the relationship. But as the relationship continues, that same victim story can become a way to control the survivor, avoid accountability, win arguments, and make the survivor feel guilty for having boundaries. Brandon breaks down how this pattern can show up through jealousy, isolation, silent treatment, guilt trips, defensive abuse, smear campaigns, DARVO, and post-separation abuse. At the center of it all is a painful reversal: the person causing harm keeps finding ways to make themselves the victim of the person they are harming. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode mentions suicide threats and self harm. *** Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@pm.me 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.

When a toxic, abusive, or controlling ex tells you that they "miss" you, it can completely destabilize your healing process. Your brain wants to believe that they have finally realized your worth, but the behavioral reality is much darker.In this video, I break down the exact psychology of what happens when an abuser starts to miss you. We discuss the concept of a validation deficit, why they selectively romanticize the past, and how their sudden urge to reconnect is driven by a desire to regain control rather than genuine love. Stop breaking your own peace for a temporary ego play.NYC EVENT - www.mentalhealness.net/events All my links - https://link.me/mentalhealness

In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Blanche about her relationship with a dangerous jealous abuser. What began as jealousy, put-downs, and questions about her past slowly became isolation, physical violence, family-enabled abuse, threats, stalking, and a fight to get free. Blanche shares how her abuser used jealousy as a reason to control what she wore, who she spoke to, where she looked, and how much freedom she had. She also explains how the abuse escalated after she became more isolated, how his family reinforced his version of reality, and how leaving led to smear campaigns, stalking, and protection orders. It's a story of vulnerability, healing abuse, coercive control, intimidation, death threats, stalking, putdowns, family enablers, smear campaigns, suicide threats, stalking, gaslighting, support, isolation, protection orders, embarrassment, shame, and escape plans. *** CONTENT WARNING - We discuss graphic descriptions of physical abuse, suicide threats, and death threats in this episode. *** Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@pm.me 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.

In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse Q&A, Brandon talks about how abusers use exhaustion as a form of control. From constant monitoring and privacy violations to fear, guilt, gaslighting, circular conversations, lack of help, and sabotage, these tactics can slowly drain a survivor's energy, clarity, and sense of self. This episode looks at why abuse can become harder to name when you are worn down, why leaving can feel impossible when you are running on empty, and how abusers use confusion and depletion to keep the relationship centered around them. Brandon also discusses why rest, reflection, and separating your own feelings from the feelings someone else is trying to create can be an important part of getting clarity back.

Laura asks Miriam about Michael Egan's abuse of her brother and mother and Miriam shares how she broke through the terror and fear to hold Egan accountable for his cruel and sadistic abuse as well as the devastating long-term impact of life-changing trauma.   Listen as Laura identifies the patterns of behaviour, manipulation, coercive control, and missed opportunities to safeguard and protect. Together, Laura and Miriam explore: • Miriam's courageous fight for accountability and justice; • The lasting impact of coercive control and sadistic abuse; • The early warning signs and grooming behaviours; • The language and tactics used by coercive controllers; • How coercive control creates fear, silence, and compliance within families; • Why victims and survivors struggle to report abuse for years; • The importance of understanding patterns — not isolated incidents; • How systems can fail vulnerable children and survivors, and; • Reclaiming power, healing, and using lived experience to help others   Miriam also speaks about raising awareness and why she is undertaking a skydive to raise funds for Women's Aid to support women and children experiencing abuse.

What actually happens inside the mind of an abusive or controlling individual when you implement permanent no contact? Many survivors wonder if their absence is felt, or if the toxic person simply moves on without a care.In this video, I break down the cold behavioral mechanics of how an abuser handles absolute silence. We discuss the initial phase of disbelief, the panic that sets in when they realize you aren't coming back, and why their desperate attempts to reach out are driven by a need for control rather than genuine love.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Val shares her story of a long marriage shaped by emotional punishment, silent treatments, rage cycles, financial manipulation, and the slow erosion of her sense of safety. What began as a natural friendship slowly became a relationship where Val was punished whenever her needs, feelings, accomplishments, or independence took up space. Her abuser withheld affection, withdrew communication, ruined birthdays and milestones, shifted responsibility onto her, and made his unhappiness the center of the relationship. Over time, Val found herself walking on eggshells, unsure what mood she would come home to, while trying to make sense of patterns that kept changing just enough to keep her confused. After years of emotional exhaustion and physical symptoms from the stress, Val began learning about emotional abuse and coercive control, and finally understood what her body had been trying to tell her. This is a story about silent treatments, trauma bonding, emotional withdrawal, financial control, rage cycles, trusting your gut, emotional punishment, silent treatments, rage cycles, coercive control, withholding affection, undercutting accomplishments, minimization, sabotaging milestones, ruining celebrations, punishing joy, resentment, contempt, walking on eggshells, intermittent reinforcement, blame shifting, entitlement, lack of accountability, victim mentality, unpredictable moods, Jekyll and Hyde abuse, gaslighting, self doubt, confusion, emotional exhaustion, and healing after abuse.

This is not accidental clumsiness—it is a calculated behavioral setup designed to make you question your own memory.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comIn this powerful and deeply disturbing 'Movie Night', we dive into one of the most controversial documents in the history of alleged Satanic Ritual Abuse (SRA) investigations: The RAINS List.RAINS stands for Ritual Abuse Information Network and Support. It was meticulously compiled in the early 2000s by leading psychiatrist Dr. Joan Coleman, who noticed striking patterns in her patients' testimonies. Severe trauma survivors — often diagnosed with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) — independently named the same high-profile abusers, the same stately homes and venues, the same vehicles, and the same ritualistic techniques, even when they had no contact with each other. Dr. Coleman only added names when corroborated by multiple unrelated sources.The list focuses primarily on the south coast of England during the New Labour era but points to a much wider phenomenon among elites across the UK and beyond. The speaker notes that simply mentioning the REIGNS List often triggers coordinated ridicule, threats, and pushback — including from former intelligence colleagues — yet persists because “Christ has already defeated the devil and all his lies.”Original Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL8jnuJt27YCONNECT WITH EMMA:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@imaginationpodcastofficialRumble: https://rumble.com/c/TheImaginationPodcastEMAIL: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.com OR standbysurvivors@protonmail.comMy Substack: https://emmakatherine.substack.com/BUY ME A COFFEE: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theimaginationVENMO: @emmapreneurCASHAPP: $EmmaKatherine1204All links: https://direct.me/theimaginationpodcastSupport the show

Fear can keep someone alive and it can also keep them trapped. To explore this topic, we sit down with Ruth Guerreiro, Chief Clinical Officer at Genesis Women's Shelter & Support, to unpack how abusers weaponize fear to establish power and control, ensure compliance, and cut off escape routes long before anyone sees a bruise.In this episode, we break down the real-world mechanics of coercive control: threats, monitoring, intimidation, isolation, social engineering, and the quiet ways an abusive partner interferes with a survivor's ability to function day to day. Ruth explains why fear can be present without physical violence, what hypervigilance can look like (constant check-ins, “proof” photos, changing hobbies, always scanning for mood shifts), and why the question “why didn't she leave?” ignores the fact that danger often escalates during and after leaving.We also revisit survival responses to danger: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn, plus how abusers and even outsiders can misinterpret those responses in courtrooms, families, and communities. You will hear practical, compassionate next steps, including safety planning ideas for friends and family, and how to reach confidential support even if you are not ready to make a big decision.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Remy shares her story of being in a long-term relationship with a jealous and hypocritical abuser. What began as intense attention from someone she remembered from high school slowly became a relationship shaped by accusations, projection, infidelity, physical intimidation, monitoring, and control. Remy talks about being accused of cheating while her partner was secretly pursuing other women, the way his jealousy made her defend herself again and again, and how the good times kept making the bad times harder to name. She also shares what happened after she finally left, including the post-separation harassment, the rebuilding of her life, and the complicated grief that followed when her abuser suddenly died. It's a story about trusting your instincts, projection, the strange mix of grief, relief, and anger, retraumatization, the death of the abuser, coercive control, jealousy, road rage, rage, infidelity, cheating accusations, being hypocritical, double standards, lies, fear, obligation, guilt, being chosen, intimidation, post-separation abuse, trauma bonds, intermittent reinforcement, hoovering, gaslighting, support, and shame. *** CONTENT WARNING - We discuss Physical Abuse in this episode. *** Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@pm.me 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.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Parker returns to share the story of her second abusive relationship with a petty emotional abuser. After leaving her first abusive marriage and being disfellowshipped from the Jehovah's Witnesses, Parker was isolated from family, friends, and the support system she had known her whole life. When a new relationship moved quickly into marriage, she thought she had found safety. Instead, the relationship changed almost immediately. Parker's husband used silent treatments, blame, financial control, intimidation, and constant punishment for perceived slights. He expected her to read his mind, made ordinary moments feel like offenses, accused her of being controlling, and turned his anger into something everyone in the home had to manage. It's a story of pettiness, emotional abuse, intimidation, control, love bombing, silent treatments, competence, support, getting your voice back, healing abuse, and healing trauma. *** CONTENT WARNING - We discuss sexual abuse and graphic abusive conversations in this episode. *** Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@pm.me 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.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse Q&A, Brandon discusses why abusive partners often do not want to change, using ideas from Lundy Bancroft's Why Does He Do That? The episode looks at the rewards an abuser gets from abusive behavior, including power, control, privilege, free labor, financial control, double standards, and the ability to make everyone else organize their lives around the abuser's needs. Brandon also breaks down how these patterns become reinforced over time, and why abusive behavior is not just about anger, stress, trauma, or losing control. It often creates a life where the abuser gets their way, avoids responsibility, receives attention, and keeps the relationship built around their comfort. This episode is about understanding the benefits abusers receive from control, and why real change requires giving up the privileges abuse has created.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Rebelle shares the story of a marriage that began with coincidence and "fate". She was a lawyer, an athlete, and someone who had already survived more than most people ever face. She believed she was strong enough to handle almost anything. However, that belief became one of the things her future husband used against her. What started as romance slowly turned into a life where Rebelle was managing everything while her husband avoided responsibility and made her feel unreasonable for noticing what did not add up. And when the relationship ended, the abuse did not. It escalated. What came next was betrayal, financial pressure, a smear campaign, and years of legal abuse. It's a story of emotional abuse, gaslighting, manipulation, infidelity, cheating,  legal abuse, post-separation abuse, weaponized incompetence, weaponized competence, stonewalling, silent treatment, blame-shifting, cycles, cycle resets, cognitive dissonance, victim playing, put downs, custody abuse, vindictiveness, and rebuilding after abuse.

We're back! Sorry for the hiatus, but life threw us some curveballs (we'll tell you about them in this episode). But really, we're here to talk to Mae Scott, survivor and author who so bravely shares her story of what abuse can look like up close: not just fear, but confusion, manipulation and a slow erosion of reality. Then comes the fun part (read: not fun at all)—navigating a legal system that doesn't seem to want to believe or even listen to women.  It's raw, frustrating, and necessary listening about what survivors are really up against—and why believing them matters more than ever.

You'll also find some sweet merch bound to start conversations.  If you're dealing with an abusive partner, you don't have to navigate it alone.

A 172-page independent investigation into Greater Grace World Outreach found something beyond the alleged abuse itself. It found the system that kept it hidden.At the center: two theological teachings that functioned as silencing tools. One took a Christian doctrine about grace and pushed it until confronting a leader about harm was treated as your spiritual deficiency. The other classified anyone who raised concerns as carrying "evil reports" — a label that made you radioactive within the community. People would cut ties with you just to protect themselves.The investigation documented case after case where this played out. Parents reporting that their children had been harmed. Leadership responding not with action, but with theology — invoking forgiveness, redirecting blame, and shielding the institution. The investigators concluded that this wasn't a series of isolated failures. It was a culture, reinforced from the top, that systematically prioritized the organization over the people inside it.Elita Galvin has been investigating Greater Grace for years through her podcast Looking for Grace. She's the person who understands the documented cases and the institutional response better than almost anyone outside the investigation itself. Oscar — our guest joining audio-only under a pseudonym — experienced these doctrines as a believer. He absorbed them. He trusted them. It took years after leaving for him to understand what they were actually built to do.This episode connects the theology to the outcomes. When your belief system makes accountability a sin, the institution doesn't need a cover-up. The doctrine is the cover-up.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Right-wing podcaster Shannon Joy sharply criticized Donald Trump during a recent broadcast, describing him as a "sociopathic abuser" and accusing him of predatory behavior, according to remarks made on her show. Joy made the comments on "The Shannon Joy Show" podcast while speaking with former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has recently broken with Trump after years as one of his most vocal allies. During the interview, Joy framed Trump's treatment of Greene as "abusive," telling her guest: "The behavior of Donald Trump that you described, what you went through and dealt with in the last few months of your position in D.C., it was abusive," Joy said. A White House spokesperson, Davis Ingle, pushed back strongly on Greene's remarks, saying, "Marjorie Taylor Greene is a quitter who is pathetically trying to stay relevant by going on liberal media shows to bash President Trump.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
