Emma & The Scary Abusive Relationships |...

Abuse Survivor Network
About this episode

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Emma chronicles her triumph over childhood trauma and a series of scary abusive relationships. Emma's story begins with an upbringing fraught with abuse, low self-worth, and suicidal ideation. As Emma grows older, her life takes a turn into darker waters as she recounts how she navigated the treacherous currents of coercive control, gaslighting, manipulation financial abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and stalking. Also, Emma discusses her healing journey, self-love, self discovery, and the fortitude required to establish personal boundaries.

It's a story of intergenerational trauma, self worth, trauma bonds, love addiction, manipulation, changing abuser types, coercive control, gaslighting, manipulation financial abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and stalking.
