This week on the Welloff Podcast, we sit down with Vanessa Reiser, a psychotherapist, narcissistic abuse expert, author, founder of Tell a Therapist, and survivor of narcissistic abuse — for an eye-opening conversation about the shocking realities of toxic relationships. Speaking from both professional expertise and personal experience, Vanessa breaks down the manipulation tactics narcissists use, including gaslighting, love bombing, emotional control, and trauma bonding, and explains why so many victims struggle to escape these damaging cycles.

Vanessa also shares the powerful story behind running across New York State in a wedding dress to raise awareness for narcissistic abuse and give a voice to survivors everywhere.

If you or someone you love is involved with a narcissist, this episode is a reminder that there is help, there is healing, and there are ways to handle the narcissists in your life that you simply can’t avoid. This is a powerful, raw, and deeply important conversation that so many people need to hear.
