n this raw and validating conversation, fitness expert and former pro athlete Holly Rilinger shares her first public telling of the emotional abuse she endured inside a long-term relationship that looked perfect on the outside.Holly opens up about how the relationship began with admiration and love bombing, then slowly eroded her confidence, identity, and sense of self. From subtle criticisms about her appearance to the complete absence of repair after conflict, she found herself living in constant fatigue, self-doubt, and silence — all while running a successful fitness business and motivating others to feel strong in their own skin.The discussion unpacks the patterns of narcissistic abuse, the manufactured discard, the loss of identity, and the physical toll of living in fight-or-flight for years. Holly reflects on the moment a friend finally witnessed the behavior, how she began waking up to the truth, and the small ways she's reclaiming her body, voice, and power in the seven months since leaving.If you've ever questioned your reality in a relationship that looked “fine” to the outside world but felt like slow erasure on the inside, Holly's story will remind you that you're not crazy — and that healing is possible.You can follow Holly here: https://www.theliftedmethodcoaching.com/Support the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

Tracy talks with pyschologist Dr. Peter Salerno about the intersection of infidelity and personality disorders. A lot of conventional therapy assumes that clients lack insight into their behavior and that antisocial behavior is the result of childhood trauma. Dr. Salerno argues that this approach ignores the behavioral science of personality disorders. Manipulation, deception, and a pathological lack of remorse are hallmarks of narcissism and sociopathy and these abusive acts are intentional. And to a certain extent, even hard-wired.  How does this science challenge the victim-blaming narratives around infidelity? Could the serial cheater, family abandoner, or deadbeat parent have a personality disorder? Do these manipulative characters keep you confused and hopeful on purpose?  *** Peter Salerno, PsyD,  is a retired licensed psychotherapist, trauma-informed educator, and the author of Nature and Nurture of Narcissism; and Traumatic Cognitive Dissonance: Healing from an Abusive Relationship with a Disordered Personality. Dr. Salerno has received specialized training in trauma treatment and personality disorders and was trained to administer and score the Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R), the international standard for the clinical and forensic assessment of psychopathy. He has treated mental health conditions in a variety of clinical settings. His first book, Fit For Off Duty, has been required reading for law enforcement officers at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia. Dr. Salerno has consulted internationally for educational purposes with individuals who have experienced traumatic cognitive dissonance resulting from pathological relationship abuse. He is also a featured expert in the Hulu/Disney+ docuseries Ted Bundy: Dialogue with the Devil, where he contributed his expertise on psychopathy and personality pathology.

Most survivors don't start by asking “Is this abuse?” They ask “Why do I feel crazy?”This episode dives deep into the emotional confusion that defines so many abusive dynamics—especially when gaslighting, blame-shifting, and chronic invalidation are at play. If you've ever found yourself apologizing after being hurt, doubting your memory, or shrinking yourself to avoid their reactions, you're not alone—and you're not overreacting.We'll explore:How emotional abuse trains you to question your realityThe difference between lying and gaslighting—and why the distinction mattersSubtle red flags that keep you stuck in self-blameThe questions that help you reconnect with your truthThis episode is here to help you name the thing you haven't been able to name, and to remind you: confusion is a tactic. Join the Patreon: https://patreon.com/YouarenotcrazySupport the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

Content note: This episode discusses manipulative and abusive relationship dynamics that may be triggering for some readers. Have you ever been in a relationship with someone who made you question your own reality?  Maybe it's romantic, familial, or even just a friendship where every disagreement somehow leaves you thinking, "Did I misremember that? I really thought I said that out loud... maybe I didn't?" If you're nodding your head right now, you're not alone. For years, my community has been asking me to break down how to identify narcissists and sociopaths because the confusion around these two personality types can literally be dangerous.  When you can't tell what you're dealing with, you can't protect yourself effectively. After 25 years as a licensed psychotherapist, I've seen too many brilliant, capable people get trapped in relationships that slowly eroded their sense of self.  The good news? Once you understand the key differences between narcissistic personality disorder and antisocial personality disorder (which includes sociopathy), you can spot the red flags early and protect your peace.

I'm sharing one of the most requested and emotionally charged topics: the trauma bond. This episode is part of my private podcast series Unhooked: Mapping the Cycle of Abuse, and I felt it was important to bring it here too—for anyone who's stuck in the pain, confusion, or shame of staying in a relationship they know is harming them.We explore why trauma bonds form, how they keep you hooked, and what it takes to begin breaking free. This isn't just about naming abuse—it's about understanding how your nervous system got wired for survival in an environment where love and harm coexist.Inside this episode:What a trauma bond actually is (and how it's different from love)Why your body clings to the person who hurts youSigns you might be trauma bondedWhy it feels impossible to leave—even when you know the truthWhat happens during withdrawal after leavingHow to start untangling yourself, one step at a timeThe myth of mutual abuse and why blaming yourself keeps you stuckThis conversation comes directly from Unhooked, my in-depth series designed to help you map your personal cycle of abuse, reconnect to your clarity, and take back your power. If what you hear in this episode resonates, I invite you to join me inside the full series.

In this episode I sit down with therapist Mary Rothwell to dive into one of those topics people love to throw around but rarely understand: sociopaths. Mary shares a raw personal story about what it was like to work under a boss who ticked all the “something's not right here” boxes, and how that experience completely changed the course of her life and work. We talk about gut instincts, red flags we ignore, why we second-guess ourselves, and the difference between genuine curiosity and gaslighting disguised as “concern.” This isn't a dry clinical conversation about labels. It's two women getting real about human behavior, what it feels like when someone's chipping away at your confidence, and how to stand your ground without needing anyone else's approval. We also explore how nature models boundaries better than most humans do, why it's ok to walk away from relationships that don't work, and the magic of asking “what else could be true?” before you spiral into self-doubt. If you've ever had a “danger Will Robinson” gut feeling about someone but convinced yourself to ignore it, this episode is for you. In this episode we discuss: Why slapping labels like “sociopath” or “narcissist” can be more harmful than helpful. Mary's up-close experience working under a boss who undermined her at every turn. How to trust your gut when someone “looks perfect on paper” but feels off. Why “being nice” often backfires and what nature can teach us about boundaries. The power of asking “what else could be true?” before spiraling into self-doubt. How to stop shrinking to fit other people's comfort zones and stand unapologetically in your own.

Trauma Bonding—a term that's often misunderstood and sometimes avoided because naming it means facing the abuse beneath it. In this episode, I break down what a trauma bond is (and isn't), why it's more than “shared trauma,” and how it functions as an emotional and physical addiction. Then, we talk about something that might feel uncomfortable: the places where you do have control once you've recognized you're trauma bonded.I cover:The truth about intermittent reinforcement and why it keeps you hookedWhy naming a trauma bond matters for healingHow to treat it like an addiction without shaming yourselfSmall, doable ways to create space and reclaim your powerHow to stop looping on them and start focusing on youResources & Links:Join the Patreon: Exclusive bonus content, Q&A, unreleased material —  https://patreon.com/YouarenotcrazyTrauma Bonding Playlist: Every episode I've recorded on this topic — https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6iOynoEO7SelaOTe2yzne0?si=CvyvQYn9QWutSgYAJmG-8w&pi=o4AQRKjrQ_mh5 Coaching & Support: emotionalabusecoach.comSupport the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

Psychopath vs Sociopath Explained So Simply! Sgt. Bill Cannon, and Scott Rouse discuss the primary differences between a psychopath and a sociopath, detailing the neurological distinctions. Understanding the psychology behind these conditions can assist in assessing mental health. This analysis provides further education on the topic.

This episode explores one of the most insidious aspects of emotional abuse: shame offloading. When someone can't face their own emotional wounds—whether it's failure, inadequacy, or internal contradictions—they often project that pain onto the person closest to them. You become the emotional scapegoat, the one who's blamed, punished, or humiliated—not because you did something wrong, but because they can't sit with their own discomfort.I walk through how this dynamic shows up in abusive relationships, how it fractures your sense of safety and self, and why the nervous system starts to adapt to the abuse as a form of survival. I explore how abusers develop internal scripts to justify their behavior, how survivors unconsciously internalize those scripts, and what it takes to start breaking that pattern.Support the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

In this gripping episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt takes a deep dive into the often-misunderstood world of psychopaths and sociopaths. With her unique blend of insight and humor, Brianne explores the key differences between these two personality types, unraveling the complexities of their behaviors and the underlying causes that shape them.Throughout the episode, Brianne shares her experiences working with individuals who exhibit these traits, emphasizing that while psychopaths are often born with certain genetic predispositions, sociopaths develop their behaviors through environmental factors and trauma. She highlights the stark contrasts in their behaviors—psychopaths tend to be controlled and manipulative, while sociopaths exhibit impulsive and erratic tendencies.Listeners will gain valuable insights into the characteristics that define these personalities, from the lack of empathy and emotional connections to the calculated and often charming facade that psychopaths can present. Brianne provides practical advice for recognizing and protecting oneself from these individuals, emphasizing the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care.This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that understanding personality disorders can have on our relationships and well-being. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that encourages listeners to navigate their interactions with empathy and awareness, all while safeguarding their own mental health.

Why do emotionally abusive people double down on false narratives, deny reality, and convince themselves they're the victim—even when they're causing visible harm?I'm joined by Paul Colaianni, host of The Overwhelmed Brain and Love and Abuse podcasts and creator of The Healed Being program, one of the few resources for people who have been emotionally abusive and genuinely want to change.We unpack one of the most confusing dynamics in abusive relationships: the distorted thinking that abusers use to justify their behavior and the self-protective systems that keep them from taking accountability.We cover:Why abusers truly believe their own version of realityThe psychology of self-righteousness, control, and emotional arroganceHow survivors internalize blame and begin to question their own kindnessThe painful tipping point between self-sacrifice and self-protectionWhat real change actually looks like—and why it often comes after the survivor walks awayResources mentioned:The Mean Workbook by Paul Colaianni: https://theoverwhelmedbrain.gumroad.com/l/jkSoJessica's Boundaries Deep Dive + 1:1 Validation Calls: emotionalabusecoach.comThe Unhooked Private Podcast & Course on the Cycle of Abuse: https://jessicaknight.thinkific.com/courses/unhookedWork with me: emotionalabusecoach.com highconflictdivorcecoaching.comSubscribe to my Substack: jessicaknightcoaching.substack.comSupport the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

We explore: Truth vs deception: what your body reveals under pressure The biggest mistakes law enforcement makes in interrogations What separates sociopaths from the rest of us Why communication is the most underrated leadership skill The role of bias in false convictions How Brad uses jiu-jitsu, family routines, and structured detachment to stay grounded Why Tell Me Everything is a must-read for leaders, parents, and communicators This is an unfiltered, powerful conversation you won't want to miss.

Oh and yes, we do unpack bathroom camping (because of course we do). It's a cozy and chaotic episode. Light a candle, cuddle your pet (if they're not being dramatic), and get ready to question every ex you've ever had. Let's go. Follow us!

This episode takes you inside the lived experience of emotional abuse. The story captures how emotional dysregulation, boundary violations, and false repair cycles can slowly erode a person's sense of self.We discuss how the classic cycle of abuse—tension, explosion, and reconciliation—can unfold in covert ways, leaving the survivor walking on eggshells, questioning their reality, and constantly managing someone else's emotional state at the expense of their own.This is not a story of screaming or slamming doors. It's a story of slow erasure, hypervigilance, and the quiet agony of never being allowed to just be.Resources Mentioned:Unhooked, a private podcast on mapping your personal cycle of abuseCoaching, courses, and more support at emotionalabusecoach.comMore content on Substack: JessicaKnightCoaching.Substack.comSupport the showJoin the Patreon: https://patreon.com/Youarenotcrazy *New Course*: Unhooked: Map the Cycle of Abuse in your Relationship Website: Emotional Abuse Coach and high-conflictdivorcecoaching.comInstagram: @emotionalabusecoachEmail: jessica@jessicaknightcoaching.com{Substack} Blog About Recovering from Abuse {E-Book} How to Break Up with a Narcissist{Course} Identify Signs of Abuse and Begin to Heal{Free Resource} Canned Responses for Engaging with an Abusive Partner

Subscribe in a reader Living With a Narcissist During Divorce is a phrase that sadly describes what many of my coaching clients—and I personally—have lived through. This is emotional warfare at its worst. Whether it's financial limitations, court mandates, or custody issues, being forced to cohabitate with a narcissist during divorce can be dangerous, exhausting, […] The post Narcissist During Divorce: How to Survive Living Together appeared first on Narcissist Abuse Support.

Guest host Misty Winston, along with surprise “sitting-in” guest Jimmy Dore, criticizes the Western media's double standards in reporting hospital bombings by Iran versus Israel. They highlight the hypocrisy of Israeli and Western outrage over an Iranian missile strike near an Israeli hospital, given Israel's repeated bombings of hospitals in Gaza, Lebanon, and even Iran itself.  The discussion underscores how media narratives are manipulated to frame Israel as the perpetual victim while ignoring its violations of international law. Ultimately, the hosts argue that Israel's credibility has collapsed under the weight of its own actions and propaganda, especially in the age of social media. Plus segments on President Trump's demand for an investigation into the 2020 election, a judge freeing pro-Palestinian activist Khalil Mahmoud from detention, Trump threatening a nuclear first strike against Iran and NDI Tulsi Gabbard going “off message” to dispute whether Iran is developing nuclear weapons. Also featuring Antiwar.com's Scott Horton!

The most dangerous people in our lives are not strangers, they are people we know and love. For a child, the most dangerous people are their parents and step-parents, and for adults, the most dangerous people in their lives tend to be their partners. In this eye opening podcast, you will learn about the statistics that suggest that while we teach children about stranger danger, w are neglecting to fully comprehend the totality of the abuse that occurs simply because adults have access to powerless children. This is not to suggest that all parents and all step-parents are abusive; however, statistically speaking, one of the contributing factors to child abuse and neglect tends to be associated with a nonbiological step-parent.  This podcast comes with a trigger warning, because it speaks the truth, a truth that many may not be ready to accept has occurred to them, a truth that a parent may not be ready to face about their choice in a spouse that had access to their children, or it may sting the eye of the one who has neglected and abused a child, or spouse.  The intention of this conversation is to fully acknowledge what is statistically true, so that we can all become more aware and responsible for who has access to our children, in addition to becoming more conscious of the fact that our partners are the most dangerous people in our adult lives. It's not the guy hanging out on the street corner at 3:00 am we need to worry about. It's those we love who may associate love with control, dominance, and power. Once we become entangled with them, we need to be more cognizant of the quality of the relationships we engage in.  If you're codependent, you are at great risk for becoming entangled in toxic relationships dynamics and that is not your fault.  Breakthrough with me here, with the 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program.
