Breaking Free from Narcissistic Abuse (Recorded Interview)
In this episode, Dr. Anthony Mazzella and Jin explore the cult-like dynamics of narcissistic relationships and the profound psychological toll they take on victims. They discuss how survivors often struggle with a loss of identity, the lingering internalized critical voice of the narcissist, and the complex grieving process that follows. Jin sheds light on the role of trauma bonding in keeping victims trapped and outlines essential steps for reclaiming one’s voice and sense of self. The conversation underscores the importance of community support, the unique challenges therapists face in treating survivors, and the hope that exists beyond narcissistic abuse.

For a deeper dive into narcissism, I now offer courses approved for continuing education credits, available [here]. As a NYS Education Department-approved provider (#SW-0211), licensed social workers in New York can earn credits through these programs. Also, these courses are a wonderful opportunity for those who may simply want to further educate themselves on all issues related to narcissistic and personality disorder dynamics.
