Podcasts about no contact

"Just go No Contact!" feels like a slap in the face when you have shared custody, a business, or legal ties to a narcissist.For many survivors, complete severance isn't an option. But that doesn't mean you have to remain their emotional punching bag. As a self-aware narcissist, I know exactly how we use children, finances, and property as leverage to keep getting "supply" long after the relationship ends.In this video, I'm introducing the "O.N. Contact" (Only Necessary Contact) method. This is the strategic evolution of "Gray Rock," designed specifically for those who are forced to communicate with their abuser.All My Links (Coaching, Courses, Merch): https://link.me/mentalhealnessIN THIS VIDEO, WE DISCUSS:The Narcissist's Leverage: Why they use the kids or money to bait you into emotional arguments.Defining "Necessary": How to strip every ounce of personality and emotion out of your communication.The "Hostile Coworker" Mindset: Shifting from "ex-partner" to "business associate that I hate."Communication Protocols: Why you must move everything to email or parenting apps (and never phone calls).The Extinction Burst: How they will react when you stop feeding them supply through co-parenting chaos.You can't always leave the situation, but you can leave the dynamic.RESOURCES & SUPPORT:

This week on TOWTW Podcast, Chelsea and returning guest Carolina Vilalva are having the conversation nobody wants to have — because it will piss people off. No contact has become the default advice for everything from toxic friendships to affairs, but is it actually healing us or just keeping us comfortable? They dig into the difference between creating space and declaring someone unworthy of repair, how a tool born in abusive relationships has quietly expanded into a cultural exile system, and what we're really teaching people when we call abandonment a boundary. Raw, personal, and more than a little uncomfortable — exactly the way we like it here.SUBMIT YOUR OWN STORYhttps://www.theotherwomanandthewife.com/submitHOW WE CAN HELPApply for 1:1 Coaching: https://towtw.com/coachingOUR LINKSWebsite: https://towtw.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theowandthewife/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theowandthewife

Will No Contact Make Your Ex Miss You? If you've just gone through a breakup, you've probably heard about the “No Contact Rule.” ▶ Watch the full video version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk-jElxOI9g But does it actually work? And more importantly… will no contact really make your ex miss you? In this episode, I explain what is actually happening psychologically when you stop reaching out after a breakup. This isn't about playing games or trying to manipulate someone. It's about understanding attraction, emotional space, and why chasing almost always backfires while calm, confident distance can change how your ex experiences the breakup. You'll learn: Why constant contact pushes an ex further away What your ex feels when the pressure disappears The real reason no contact can create curiosity and reflection Why dignity and emotional strength are far more attractive than pleading How to use this time in a way that helps you, regardless of the outcome No contact is not about punishment, silence, or hoping your ex panics. It is about giving both of you the space necessary for clarity, emotional reset, and the possibility of attraction returning naturally. If you are struggling with the urge to reach out, this episode will help you understand why staying steady right now matters so much. Need Help With Your Situation?

What happens when a mother and daughter go no contact for four years — and actually find their way back? In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, I sit down with authors Leslie and Lindsey Glass, co-creators of The Mother-Daughter Relationship Makeover: 4 Steps to Bring Back the Love and its companion workbook for lasting change. Together, we dive deep into addiction, recovery, enmeshment, control, accountability, anger, forgiveness, and the cultural rise of estrangement between mothers and adult daughters. Lindsey shares how her journey through addiction recovery, therapy, EMDR, Al-Anon, and deep self-inquiry helped her understand her role in the breakdown of their relationship. Leslie speaks candidly about micromanagement, control masked as care, and the painful realization that “helping” can sometimes feel like domination. We explore:• The epidemic of no contact in women • The difference between toxic danger and reactive pain• Negotiated separation vs. total cutoff• How addiction and family trauma distort memory and identity• Why anger is often unprocessed hurt• What real accountability looks like on both sidesThis isn't about blaming mothers or daughters. It's about doing the work. You can learn more about Leslie and Lindsey Glass, their books, articles, and resources at reachoutrecovery.com — where they offer over 2,000 articles on addiction recovery, mental health, and family healing. This is a conversation about self-discovery, letting go, and what becomes possible when both people are willing to evolve.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

No_Contact

Family estrangement is often talked about online as a simple, binary choice — stay or go, cut contact or don't. But in real life, it's rarely that straightforward. In this episode, Dr Laura explores the psychological complexity of family estrangement, moving beyond polarised debates to consider what no contact actually means, the different forms it can take, and how people can make decisions that prioritise emotional and psychological safety. This episode looks at: • Why “no contact” language often misses important nuance • Alternatives such as low contact, structured contact, and time-limited distance • What to consider before changing family contact • The emotional aftermath of estrangement, including grief, doubt, and relief • Why there is no morally superior choice — only what's right for you Whether you're considering changing family contact, living with estrangement, or trying to understand someone else's decision, this episode offers a compassionate, grounded perspective.

Why do loving parents sometimes push away the very children they'd do anything for? This week, Catherine Hickem joins Dr. Kerry to unpack one of the most painful dynamics in modern families—parental estrangement.

Kamini Wood tackles the polarizing concept of "going no contact," challenging the social media narrative that labels it a modern trend or an impulsive overreaction. She provides a grounded perspective on the reality of this choice, explaining that for most high-functioning adults and leaders, the decision to sever a relationship is a deeply painful last resort reached only after years of boundary violations, failed communication, and identity erosion. Wood reframes no contact not as a punishment or an act of control, but as a necessary form of self-preservation and a complex grief process where one must mourn the relationship they hoped for while prioritizing their own nervous system regulation. By moving past the myth of emotional immaturity, listeners are encouraged to view this boundary as a courageous step toward healing from toxic dynamics and reclaiming their personal wellbeing.

Going "no contact" is a trend sweeping the nation—the idea that adult kids must cut ties with their parents for the sake of healing and self-care. But how does that line up with Jesus' command to “be merciful” (Luke 6:36)?In this episode, relationship experts Bill and Pam Farrel share biblical wisdom and real-life insight on how to honestly evaluate your parents without canceling them, how to navigate painful family dynamics with both truth and love, and how to honor God's design for generations—built on bridges, not burned ones.If you've ever wondered whether distance is the only option, this three-part conversation points to a better way forward.Judgy SeriesGuest: Bill and Pam FarrelGet your Free Resource: 20 Page WorkbookRecommended Resources: Check out Shannon's Amazon Storefront HEREMusic: Cade PopkinBill and Pam's BioBill and Pam are the authors of over sixty books including, "Men are Like Waffles, Women are Like Spaghetti."  prolific conference and church communicators.

In this episode of the Mental Healness Podcast, Lee Hammock—a self-aware, diagnosed narcissist—takes the mask off to explain the cold reality behind the "Hoover."Most survivors believe these messages are a sign of reflection or regret.

It was a calculated move to check "if the door was still unlocked."In this episode, we break down:The "Nostalgia Trap": How narcissists use your shared memories as a weapon to bypass your boundaries.Supply vs. Connection: Why a reach-out usually means the narcissist's current "supply" is low, not that they've changed.The Boredom Factor: The truth about why "boredom" is a primary motivator for a narcissist to contact an ex.Protecting Your Peace: Why replying to a hoover—even with anger—gives the narcissist exactly what they want.If you are struggling to maintain "No Contact" or wondering if your ex has finally changed, this episode is the reality check you need to stay strong.Connect with Lee:My Courses: ⁠⁠⁠https://courses.mentalhealness.net⁠⁠⁠ Healing Support Group: ⁠⁠⁠https://mentalhealness.thinkific.com/products/communities/thementalhealers⁠⁠⁠1-on-1 Coaching Calls: ⁠⁠⁠https://mentalhealness1on1perspective.as.me/schedule/ec588030⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesss

Boundaries aren't about being mean — they're about being clear. This week on Getting Better, JVN sits down with Melissa Urban, founder of Whole30 and a leading voice on boundaries, to talk about how to set limits that actually stick — especially when emotions, history, and guilt get involved. From defining what a boundary really is (hint: it's not just what you say, it's what you do), to navigating boundaries at work, in relationships, and even with yourself, Melissa breaks down the practical steps that make boundaries sustainable instead of exhausting. Together, they dive into when “no contact” is the healthiest option, how to recover after a boundary gets crossed, and why patience — with others and yourself — is a key part of the process. JVN also shares their own personal experience going no contact, what self-care looks like when you're holding firm to your limits, and how to get “back on the boundary horse” when things don't go perfectly the first time. If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, second-guessing yourself, or holding a boundary without spiraling — this episode is your permission slip to do it differently.
