The amount of trauma there is to process can feel stifling and the endless questions may bombard you. What was the extent of their lies? Was any of it true? Did they ever really love me?

There's a quiet danger in leadership—the slow drift toward narcissism. It doesn't happen overnight. It starts small: a little pride, a little control, a little spotlight. But left unchecked, it can poison a ministry from the inside out. In this episode of In the Loop, we're taking a hard look at the subtle shift from servant to celebrity, from called to controlling. This is a heart-check for every leader—because the most dangerous leader is the one who no longer sees the need to grow.
REBROADCASTIn this valuable encore episode, Bill and Megan tackle three critical listener questions that remain deeply relevant. They begin by addressing a parent's concern about protecting their toddler during a high-conflict custody case involving someone displaying narcissistic traits, offering practical strategies for both the legal process and emotional support. The conversation then shifts to handling intimidating behavior and urgent decision-making scenarios, particularly when dealing with someone who attempts to force their approach. Finally, they explore the complex dynamics of living with someone who has BPD traits, discussing both the potential psychological impact and the importance of finding appropriate therapeutic support for recovery.Additional ResourcesExpert PublicationsThe Borderline Personality Disorder Wellness Planner for FamiliesSplitting: Protecting Yourself While Divorcing Someone with BPD/NPDHigh-Conflict Co-Parenting Survival GuideThe Healthy Parent's ABC's by Benjamin D.

In this powerful and revealing conversation with Pi Venus, we explore what it's like to grow up in a home where you're told, in words or in silence, that your needs are a burden. My guest shares her story of early emotional abandonment, internalized shame, and the moment she poured her first drink at age 12… and the long road to reclaiming her power, identity, and joy. We talk about the real root causes of addiction, why recovery doesn't stop at quitting substances, and how to reparent the parts of ourselves that still carry fear, shame, and longing. She shares what it's like to heal from narcissistic abuse—first from her mother, then from a romantic partner who mirrored her childhood patterns—and the tools that helped her finally feel safe in her own skin. You'll also hear about: The subtle signs of covert and overt narcissistic abuse Her "spontaneous sobriety" moment and what made it stick How losing everything became a path to finding her true self Why peace can feel boring—and how to get comfortable with it The role of daily ritual, play, and myth in deep healing Her book Mother Medusa and how ancient stories help us rewrite our own This one is for anyone healing from dysfunctional family systems, narcissistic abuse, or unresolved childhood trauma.

Did James Craig Murder Angela Due To Narcissistic Collapse & Delusional Thinking? In this culminating fourth episode of "Unmasking the Mind of a Murderer," licensed psychotherapist Shavaun Scott provides a forensic-level breakdown of James Craig, the Colorado dentist accused of killing his wife. Joined by Hidden Killers Host Tony Brueski, this episode aims to construct a comprehensive psychological profile, shedding light on what drives individuals like Craig and crucial lessons for the public. If James Craig were to sit in a psychotherapist's office, what clinical indicators would be paramount? We explore the hypothetical diagnostic evaluation: Is this a clear case of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, Psychopathy, or a complex mixture of both? The discussion also considers the potential coexistence of other disorders, such as sex addiction or delusional disorder. Was this murder a response to a narcissistic collapse—a desperate attempt to regain control amidst financial ruin and a failing marriage? Could someone truly believe they can kill their way into a better life? This episode delves into how high-functioning predators like Craig manage to hide in plain sight. What can society learn from these "wolves in white coats" who charm and deceive? Are we culturally conditioned to disbelieve charming perpetrators, even when red flags appear? Finally, we offer a critical final assessment of societal risk. What makes someone like James Craig dangerous long before they commit murder? What does a psychotherapist most want the public to understand about individuals capable of such heinous acts, and what are the crucial signs that should never be ignored? This is an essential guide to protecting yourself from emotional predators. #JamesCraig #PsychologicalDiagnosis #NarcissisticPersonalityDisorder #Psychopathy #ForensicPsychology #HiddenKillers #TrueCrimeInsights #PredatorAwareness #MentalHealth #SocietalRisk Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Part one of a 4 part series on Guilt and Shame with guest, Dr. Anthony Mazzella, Psychotherapist & Host of The Narcissism Decoder Podcast What if the root of so much emotional pain, self-sabotage, and confusion isn't who you are—but what you've carried? In this powerful first episode of a two-part series, Renee is joined by Dr. Anthony Mazzella to explore how shame, not arrogance or ego, often sits at the center of narcissistic traits—both in ourselves and in the people who have hurt us. Together, they unpack: What shame really is—and how it's different from guilt How shame starts in early childhood through misattunement, rejection, or humiliation The invisible ways shame shapes identity, emotions, and behavior How narcissistic defenses like projection, withdrawal, and perfectionism are fueled by shame Why people-pleasing is often a mask for hidden shame How religious, cultural, or family systems can unknowingly create shame-based beliefs Shame isn't just an emotion—it becomes a lens through which we see ourselves and the world. It's not something we feel—it's something we become. And unless we learn how to name it, it quietly dictates how we love, hide, lash out, or shut down. Whether you've lived with a covert narcissist or find yourself stuck in patterns you don't fully understand, this episode will help you name the invisible wound behind it all—and take the first step toward healing.

To thrive after narcissistic abuse, you will need to change your entire mindset toward narcissistic people in your life. The key to maintaining your sanity is not to take their attempts at baiting you into circular conversations where they get to act out their need to persecute others with self-righteous indignation. If you confuse love with guilt and obligation, and especially if you have high empathy and struggle to end toxic relationships due to abandonment issues, letting go can trigger complex trauma symptoms such as a burning brain, heart palpitations, brain fog, mental confusion, and emotional paralysis. One of the most difficult things in the world to accept is that sometimes the people you love are built to not hear you, although their words may say otherwise. When dealing with a high-conflict person, you will notice that they escalate drama, problems, and issues in relationships instead of de-escalating them. Narcissists need flying monkeys, and the more they have, the more emboldened they are to attack, confuse, persecute, vilify, diminish, and discard you or any feelings or opinions you have. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach, explains why changing your mindset toward the narcissistic people in your life can preserve your sanity, no matter how tough it might be to accept and let go. What is your peace of mind worth to you? If you are ready to take the journey within to heal the core issues that result in you're being entangled in narcissistic relationships, join Lisa and her team of seasoned life coaches this July for The 12 Week Breakthrough Journey back to the divine self.
