"But they're your family..."It's the phrase that keeps people trapped in cycles of abuse for decades. But what happens when the people who were supposed to protect you are the ones you need protection from? Going No Contact with a narcissist is hard; going No Contact with an entire narcissistic family system is a battlefield.Today, I'm breaking down the mechanics of the "Toxic Family Unit," the role of Flying Monkeys within your own siblings, and why the "Family Scapegoat" is usually the only one who finds peace. I'm giving you the perspective of the person left behind—what we think when you finally stop answering the group chat.Connect with Lee:My Courses: https://courses.mentalhealness.net 1-on-1 Coaching Calls: https://link.me/mentalhealnessAll My Link: https://beacons.page/mentalhealness Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesssIf this episode helped you gain clarity, please leave a 5-star review on Spotify!

Meghan Tonjes returns to the podcast to offer a different perspective about going No Contact than Oprah and Mel Robbins purport. Just because Boomers & Gen X put up with abusive behavior and authority trauma doesn't mean we have to--we have choices. The being disowned by a parent to reconciliation path CAN happen and her story is incredibly sweet. Tonjes offers a nuanced and deep reflection about her experience moving back to Michigan and Aunt life: the joys of parenting without the intense commitment.Our previous conversation, audio episode 12: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0HrT7lhY3sWjjROxDbbCLY?si=09f47219132947b8That time Tonjes filmed herself learning to dance at my aerobics class Fat Kid Dance Party when we were both in Los Angeles: https://youtu.be/Qvcyv0PsoAY?si=XHbc6KKr1e1VWBlsMeghan Tonjes on IG: @meghantonjes @oopsiebagsie @momentominisMeghan Tonjes Links including music: https://linktr.ee/meghantonjes(Patreon supporters got this episode a week early!)

Odcięcie się od byłej czy byłego po rozstaniu uchodzi powszechnie za najlepszy sposób na złamane serce. Najnowsze badania wskazują jednak, że dziś jest nam trudniej niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej utrzymać zasadę „no contact”.

Ress from She Wolf Alchemy discusses why people go no contact with family, emphasizing it's usually a last resort after years of minimized pain, chronic disrespect, boundary violations, emotional manipulation, abuse, identity suppression, parentification, and major life events that reveal an unsustainable dynamic. She explains estrangement as restricting access rather than punishment, noting it can range from total cutoff to limited, structured contact (holidays only, texting, public settings, or no emotional disclosure). She shares her own six-year no-contact experience with her biological father, describing narcissistic behavior and others pressuring forgiveness. She offers questions to evaluate the decision (communication attempts, change, nervous system impact, protection vs punishment), acknowledges situations where trying isn't required, and outlines challenges like grief, loneliness, dating stigma, family pressure, and practical/financial considerations, stressing community and peace over isolation.
In this episode of Everyone Dies, we explore the rising "epidemic" of family estrangement. We begin with a high-profile case study: Brooklyn Beckham's recent public declaration of "no contact" with his parents, David and Victoria Beckham. Using this as a jumping-off point, we examine the modern language of therapeutic boundaries and why more adult children are choosing to walk away. https://bit.ly/3P6DlUQIn this episode, we discuss:(02:09) The Reality of Rupture: A first-person account of a parent "shrinking" themselves and walking on eggshells for years before the final break.(10:08) Defining Ambiguous Loss: Understanding the psychological trauma of an ongoing loss that has no funeral and no clear closure.(17:37) Supporting the Estranged: Practical guidance for friends and family on what to say—and what not to say—to a parent living through this silence.(26:18) The Path Forward: Learn the importance of space, respecting boundaries, and the mindset required for potential long-term reconciliation.Whether you are a parent navigating the pain of a "no contact" request or a friend looking for the right way to offer support, this episode provides a compassionate, editorial look at one of the most difficult relational challenges of our time.Featured Resources:S6E45: When Closure Isn't Possible: How to Find a Way Forward Through Grief - Learn More about Ambiguous LossIf You Know an Estranged Parent, Please Read This by Rachel Haack (Thank you Rachel for letting us feature your work in this podcast)#AmbiguousLoss #FamilyEstrangement #GriefWithoutDeath #NoContact #EstrangedParents #EveryoneDiesPodcast #UnspokenGrief #ComplexGrief #MentalHealthAwarenessSupport the showGet show notes, images and resources at our website: every1dies.org.

There have been many reports in the last several years of a growing trend of estranged families in the United States. For those who make the decision to go "no contact" (or "low contact") with their family members, the response from non-family members can be a mixed bag of support and judgment... often independent of the person's reasons for making that choice. What's going on with the contemporary phenomenon of people going low or no contact with their family members? Is such a decision morally acceptable, or is forgiveness and relationship maintenance something we owe to others, but especially our family? What does a "good" family look like? And why do we so often find ourselves in the position of hoping for the best without any guarantees that things will turn out well?In this episode, we investigate the ways in which our families shape our identities and how the stories we tell about family relationships often determine how we see and understand others. As you'll notice throughout the episode, it turns out that nothing gets people going like family! We're joined by Dr. Kiran Bhardwaj, whose work centers on these complex ethical issues and who walks us through some philosophical distinctions that may help in navigating the murky waters of distressed family relations. Grab a drink and join us as we attempt to think through, rather than simply react to, the long and tangled ties of family.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/family---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!

"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.
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.

In this episode, we dive into some wild stories and topics. We start with a fun fact about the classic TV show Gilligan's Island, where the creators based the characters on the Seven Deadly Sins. Then, we discuss a supposed news story about Lil Wayne opening a free medical clinic in Atlanta, which turns out to be a viral hoax.

Have you ever received a text from an ex-partner saying they "miss you" or "saw something that reminded them of you" just when you were finally moving on? 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. But in this raw confessional, Lee explains why he used to reach out, and it wasn't because of love. 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.
