Narcissist Apocalypse: Patterns of Abuse

Definitely different than most episodes but yet soooo relatable! Brandon, thank you for giving us listeners enthralling and intelligent material. Black-Autistic-Polymath, thank you for being you. Thank you for staying true, and thanks for sharing. It’s like listening to something I didn’t know I needed until you showed up in my airpod. Thanks to you both.

The stories on this podcast—particularly those involving a narcissistic mother—have validated my experiences with narcissistic abuse to such a degree that a mere mention does not seem worthy. I have a great deal of gratitude for your work, Brandon. I am nearly 50 years old, with 25 years of talk therapy under my belt, and nothing has contributed to my enlightenment quite like your podcast. Such is the insidiousness of narcissistic abuse, right? ;) I found the story shared by the Black Autistic Polymath to be a particular stand-out. Their perspective on how they have processed their experiences resonates deeply with me; making me cry in spite of my hardness and numbness. Even though my cultural touch points are different, I feel like the BAP and I are riding the same wave length. This connection means the world to me. A special shout out to the BAP for describing the profound fatigue that comes with being not neurotypical, as well as the depth of commitment made when a person with autism says they are going to do something. Thank you, Brandon, for including people with neurodivergence in your conversation. Thank you to the Black Autistic Polymath for sharing your story.

Wonderful podcast. Informative and help to listen to other people’s stories.

I have been in 2 different relationships that were abuse and I also watched my birth mother get be abused by my father till the age 8-9 years old - listening to this podcast has really got me thinking about my own experiences of abuse- thank you for sharing this podcast and those that have shared
