Consistently Excellent and Respectful

Been listening to this show and participating in the group for a couple years now. It’s a great community, but the show itself is just so solid. I love the interviewer’s thoughtful questions and the variety in stories. Very healing. Not blown up and pathologizing of abusers or victims, just feels real.

Highest quality Narcissism podcast out there IMO

I have listened to several podcasts about narcissism, as I try to learn about it and while I have learned a lot from several of them out there- this one is the best, in my opinion. I appreciate the stories that the guests share, as I always learn something, despite how sad it is to hear the terrible things people go through when dealing with a narcissist. The show is really valuable and I appreciate the time and energy that is put into it.

I’m super obsessed with this podcast! Brandon your an excellent interviewer. Listening to this podcast has helped me heal from my narc husband more than you’ll ever know. Thank you for doing what you do! Please don’t ever stop podcasting!

I never knew I needed this!

I’ve been struggling to understand why I’ve always felt so upset and traumatized by the narc in my life. When I try to tell people about the situation, it doesn’t make much sense. I feel like I’ve found my people! As I listen to this podcast, I feel myself nodding and agreeing, or swearing right out loud! I cringe sometimes as I can sense what’s going to happen next. I really love this show and have been binge listening to it. This show reminds me not to get sucked in again by the “good times”.

A few great episodes, but overall, frustrating and meandering

There have been a few excellent episodes of the show with truly compelling stories of narcissistic abuse. I appreciate the fact that it is very unscripted and the guests recount their stories in a natural manner. However, the problem is that often, they repeat themselves or just go around in circles, somewhat aimlessly. In this regard, the show definitely needs to be better edited to get to the point. In addition, Chad frequently shares “insights“ that are not necessarily accurate or relevant. Finally, his habit of constantly using the expression “this person“ or “they” (not once has the gender of the person been in question or unclear!!!) to refer to characters in his guests’ stories drives me absolutely crazy. I have also noticed that the guests are starting to subconsciously mimic him in this regard. I had to stop one episode after hearing the phrase “this person“ from both Chad and his guest repeated incessantly. If we know that “this person“ is a man, for instance, why can’t he just say “he“ or “your partner/husband“ etc?

So appreciate this resource but Ruth M Glenn came across condescending

Very excited you have this show based on coming to terms with my own situation. Thanks so much <3 In 1st Heard Depp podcast, was disappointed that there were no concrete takeaways except fo to the website. You were clear on importance of minimizing bias, but your guest doesn’t seem to see the forest through the trees. 10k foot view is good but 10 ft view can be just as illuminating. Mostly, I felt very insulted during that episode based on huge, unsupported assumptions. Many concluded Depp is the victim, but anger at Heard stems from a number of lies and perpetrating harm similar to patterns exhibited in her other close relationships. Everyone has right to own opinion, but it was offensive to describe those disagreeing as simple minded “fans,” who don’t do any research, succumb to any insuation on the most toxic social media sites, and then waste valuable time viciously attacking Heard for her abhorrent behavior. Many of us are professionals, with 4 yr and graduate degrees, or are thoughtful and critically minded, drawing from our own and our peers’ experiences of abuse. I constantly hear from others that they spent time watching the entire trial, reviewing court documents, seeking out legal, psychology, & DEI expert input and read about resources and scientific publications (in high impact journals…where you can learn the actual stats) vs. a community expert with narrow POV offering vague, elusive, and repetitive responses like we need to learn the dynamics of DV without ever defining or exemplifying what she means by dynamics to which we are all ignorant. Most of us are not mindless lemmings and have never opened a tik-tok or twitter acct because we get that these are not forums for education and empowerment. The idea that people are so easily manipulated by social media is based on anecdotes and rhetoric-even latest report was very light qualitative analysis highly prone to bias. I would like to think we learn from our situations, developing confidence and resilience that attunes us to signals of untrustworthiness. We are NOT moronic or lazy, and as your audience for this episode, would appreciate treating listeners and the host with more respect, especially in terms of what YOU think we are able to understand and what we are capable of handling.

Best Narcissist App

This is my favorite podcast on this topic. And I listen to many!! Chad is an amazing host. He gives people a platform to tell their personal experience with narcissistic abuse. It is very real and not scripted like other shows. Listening to other people’s stories has helped me tremendously.

Great podcast with a questionable guest

If you have been traumatized by a negative experience with police, I highly suggest SKIPPING the episode on 6/2/2022 as the guest explicitly states that victims that call police on their abusers should “just comply” with the responding cop. Wish she could have understood that that is backhanded victim blaming.

MARIE

Marie’s story was so so chilling. The calmness and the planning that went into his manipulations. Marie is a phenomenal story teller. Even when she gets a bit discombobulated, you’re there with her, because you needed a break as well. She’s brilliant, yet fell for this. I want to give her huge props for being so patient throughout the whole ordeal. I would have snapped and by snapped I mean like the podcast snapped. Lolol. But Marie is calm, and exits slowly and gracefully.

Johnny and Amber

I could not disagree more. One cannot discount the abuser or victim’s background simply by saying they need to grow up and take responsibility for their actions. It is absolutely a learned behavior. At some point do they know they did wrong, yes. But it’s like not scratching a mosquito bite. The person must retain that portion of the brain that has learned that behavior. Every case is different and must be treated accordingly. You are giving too much credit to the abuser.

A must podcast to subscribe to. This is so educational and informative to everyone. “Chad” is frickin awesome with his sweet sweet voice that has a calming affect given the harsh and horrific personal stories his guests share with us. We ALL know someone who are in an abusive relationship and feel helpless. NAP expose all aspects a dv. If you are in an abusive relationship please listen to this podcast. It will help you do what’s in YOUR best interests and safety. The experts on here are all SO helpful! Chad is the best! He goes above and beyond. We need more men like Chad. He does not judge. One more thing: he explores narc parents and the affects it has on children brought up in these crazy households.

Had the opportunity to speak with the host. We had a great conversation about the issues discussed in their show. I recommend this to any abuse survivors or anyone who is looking to understand the complexities that come with dealing with narcissistic relationships & people

My favorite!!

This is by far my favorite podcast. I have listened to every single episode. It is so comforting knowing there are other people out there that have dealt with this kind of abuse not that I wish this on anyone. This podcast is my therapy. Thank you to everyone who has shared their story. One day I hope I can too. Thank you.

A form of therapy

This podcast is my therapy any time I start spiraling down the rabbit hole and missing my narcissistic ex-husband. It’s a reminder that these patterns of behavior aren’t unique, it’s a very real personality disorder that is predictable and dangerous. Remember that the narcissist knows how to portray a normal, healthy person on the surface. Thank you, Brandon, for this gift of a podcast.

Railroading/interruption

Great show! I could, however, do without the host interrupting and railroading the guests, so much. I find it annoying having to listen to the host tell guests how to tell their story/ putting words in their mouths. Fall back, a bit, Chad

Helping me heal

This has become my favorite podcast to listen to about narcissistic relationships of all kinds. I am almost 5 months out of my abusive situation and listening to these stories as well as the insight from Brandon, the victims that are speaking out and the special guests is helping my healing process a great deal not only from my recent relationship but really my whole life. I hope one day to share my story. Thank you Brandon! Thank you to all of you willing to share your story to help others like me!

Amazing Support System for victims of Narcissist Abuse.

Chad (i’m going to call him Chad because his friends call him Chad...) has created an amazing combination of Pod cast and support network. The combination of Survivor Stories on Mondays, Information episodes on Fridays, and a website with support networking resources.... Chad is a brilliant man helping so many people.

Highly Recommend This Podcast

I listed to this podcast incessantly after learning my mother is an abusive narcissist. I learned an invaluable amount of information from listening to survivor stories and some of the Q & A episodes with experts and others who consider themselves specialists. The podcast and support community have really been integral to my abuse recovery.

This is one of the best Narc shows

This was one of the first shows I found when I first realized I was dealing with a narcissist, and the show gets the most real insight because it has real stories - not just somebody’s opinion telling me over and over what to do but no inspiration- you'll find that here. Thanks so much for this content!

Someone understands me!

I love listening to these podcasts because during my time with my Narc I had trouble sorting through his possible intentions and my possible feelings. Listening to others story not only makes me feel like I’m not alone but it also gives me words to things that I had trouble grasping. And because I can now put my fingers on my feelings I am starting to have healing and I’m getting a little chuckle out of some of my behavior which before I used to beat myself up.

Excellent format and so needed

As a survivor of narcissistic abuse (just barely out of the situation that was so crushing and devastating), I’m literally subsisting on these in-depth, long format episodes to get through and hear the details of so many situations that mirror mine. I had no idea what was happening to me. I feel so grateful to find this podcast. Brandon is an excellent interviewer, and now that I’m also in the support group he runs, I feel very fortunate to have found this community.

Excellent!!!

Now that I’m healing, I love this podcast! At first it was overwhelming but my wounds were too fresh. Once I realized how similar our stories are, it became educational instead of painful. Our stories have so many similarities but most important, we should no longer feel so alone after tuning in. Thank you!

Absolutely fantastic!

This podcast has truly been life changing for me. I found this podcast nearly a year ago after leaving an abusive relationship and I listened every single day for months until I heard every available episode. It's that compelling and that good. I had been researching narcissism and narcissistic abuse for nearly 5 years and nothing came close to illustrating the toxicity of these relationships. This podcast feels like a beacon of light in a very dark place. As a psychologist, I thought I had a decent understanding of narcissism and abuse dynamics, but after discovering I had survived a narcissistic relationship myself, I realized how insidious this abuse reallly is. The survivors' stories on this podcast detail the nuances of manipulation within the narcissistic abuse dynamic and, for the first time, I felt completely understood - again and again as I listen I feel validated because I relate so much to the stories the survivors courageously share. Brandon does a phenomenal job giving the survivors space to share their stories with very little interruption. When he does interject, his questions are thoughtful and on point and he exudes understanding, compassion and support. He offers support off the podcast, as well, by graciously giving of his time to facilitate support groups for survivors. Listening to ths podcast has been very healing for me personally and has led me to feel better equipped professionally to help those who have endured this form of abuse. The impact of the work being done on this podcast to shed light on a critically important topic cannot be overstated. I am beyond grateful to have found this podcast and believe anyone, whether having survived such a relationship or not will benefit from listening. A+

I’m a psychologist and this story is not about narcissism. This is a story about a woman who made a LOT of bad choices and ignored a LOT of red flags and unfortunately got a LOT of airtime on this podcast.

This is from Brenda Newton

Chad is amazing at helping the victim feel comfortable telling their stories. He is slow at interjecting which I appreciate. The only time he slows the dialogue down is to point out red flags or other helpful reflections to help the listeners and the victim see patterns. The empathy he shows his guests and how comfortable he makes them is impressive. He also finish's up with "repowering" the guest after they have just spilled out their guts. Diffidently a no judgement zone. Which is hard because they are admitting to mistakes and mostly naiveness that predators are out there. Great podcast. Riply mentioned a book she had and read and you seemed to be familiar with it. Can you share the title ? I had a hard time hearing the name and author.

Omg! Finally a podcast that “gets it”

There are many helpful podcasts about narcissism. However, the majority of them offer advice and are missing real live stories from survivors of narcissistic abuse. Although the advice is relatable - the stories are relatable, relevant and REAL. Real survivors are given an opportunity to share their narrative from an unconditional, non-judgmental platform. Their stories hit home. Once I started listening - I was hooked. Their stories are my story. Thanks Chad for bringing a podcast that finally “gets it.”

I’m not alone

Thank you for this podcast and the stories that are sometimes hard to tell. After 11 years of marriage, I finally learned last year what a narcissist was and I definitely had one. I have listened to my first podcast this morning and repeatedly said “Yes!! That’s happened to me too!” In the process of divorcing and I’ve already started the healing process. It’ll be a long slow road, but the abuse stops now! I am strong and I am worth every bit!

Sharing is caring

Dealing with a narcissist is super isolating and insulating. Thankful there are podcasts like this to connect survivors with support and an opportunity to share what has been suffered in silence. It is freeing and healing to share in a safe and non-exposing way. I heard a quote that I love that says “if we heal loudly, we save others from suffering quietly.”

Favorite podcast

This podcast is honestly just so amazing. Each person that shares their story is so honest and raw. I’m so happy I found this podcast... knowing I’m not alone is something that means so much to me. If you are a victim, or survivor of any type of abuse, listen to this podcast. Pick any episode and just listen. The bravery. The honesty. It’s amazing, and so helpful to me as I enter in my own healing journey. Thank you to the owner of this podcast for giving all of us abuse victims, a platform to share our truth. Forever grateful!

I'm sorry but.....

First, I truly believe that narcissist exists and that they cause those who love them tremendous pain and suffering (particularly the ones who put hands on you). I get it. I also believe that sharing your story is invaluable as it helps the speaker and the listener in the hearing process. But , I see absolutely no value in letting someone speak for more than an hour and not once take ownership of their choices. I've just spent the past hour engaged in the speakers " trauma bonding" without the benefit of self reflection or true personal insight. The experience for me was like listening to an alcoholic sharing at an AA meeting about the true horror's of alcoholism -the degradation,the humiliation, the loss of dignity and self-respect the bottle has caused and then turn around and "blame it on the alcohol" In the telling of the Spiritual Abuser, it is very clear that she has a great deal of work to do, and, unless this is just a platform to binge and vent, some effort on the hosts part to probe (gently) a little deeper issues self worth and the difference between something being "done" to you and just bad choices might prove more beneficial-for all of us. The concern I have about this platform is that It can provide another outlet for the victim of abuse to keep the narc alive and to attract a whole new set of ears to trauma bond with - to be sure everyone in their circle has heard their story over and over again. I also think that sometimes labeling someone "anything" let's the other person off the hook. In the end, we are only hearing one side of the situation. Again, I'm sorry if this post seems insensitive. But to recover from pain and trauma one must accept their part and to completely eliminate from their vocabulary, words like "he made me" and "i don't know why I " Once this is possible then the healing will begin. Oh and get some counseling.

Unique and invaluable

This podcast is a great way to hear first hand the effects of a relationship with a narcissist or someone who has traits. A survivor feels confused and alone. It’s great to get not only confirmation from the stories but to get support through the Patreon group. Chad is truly a caring person who puts a lot of heart and hard work into a platform of healing for strangers he makes friends. I’m so thankful for this resource and the connections I’ve made.

Saving my life- literally

I found this podcast during my journey of research trying to understand my husband better. Brandon and all of these amazing stories have been the driving strength I needed to leave. 15 years of a slow fade and verbal abuse but I am 3 months gone (ish) - we have a son so it’s hard- but I am doing it! Thank you Brandon! Thank you to every survivor for sharing- and helping so many- especially me. I will be forever grateful

Good concept, interesting content, but the hosting is a bit problematic

I love that abuse survivors have a platform to share their story. The host is kind and non-judgamental, which is great, but his inputs seem to be too frequent and leading. In my opinion, the questions that he asks his guests are full of confirmation bias. He seems to ask very specific questions hoping for answers that support his understanding of narcissism. He seems to try to manipulate and curate the story to fit the confines of the cycle of narcissistic abuse as he knows it (love bombing, devaluation and discard). I find this to be problematic as some of his guests may feel pressured to agree with his suggestions, especially if they are people pleasers. Also, any abuse victim whose situation does not fit in this rigid definition of narcissistic abuse, may not get the help they need and seek from this podcast.

Grateful

I have been listening to this podcast for a couple months now, just about every single day steadily - listening to the stories. I am a survivor myself and recently gained courage to share my story as well. The podcast helps people to understand that these things are the effect of a mental disorder, that what happened to you is not your fault, and that you’re not crazy - and you’re not alone. In the midst of it all it feels embarrassing and shameful and .... lonely. You might even feel crazy. I did. Now that I’ve shared my story and listened to so many others and somehow resonated with each one although different - I don’t feel alone, I don’t feel crazy, and I feel empowered to live MY life: something I never used to truly believe was worth anything, or even possible.

From the eyes of a mother

I am the mother of a daughter that suffered in the hands of a narcissistic husband. The despair that I felt watching the changes in my daughter were gut wrenching. Narcissism affects the entire family. Listening to your podcast has helped me understand the depth of what she endured. It breaks my heart to know how she was affected by this monster who imprinted on her for 8 years. This podcast has brought more clarity than any book that I have read on the subject. Thank you!

This podcast will help you find some much perspective because there’s so many different stories that one of them is bound to be the right fit for your situation - it also can stand as cautionary tales of what can happen if you stay. I’ve truly enjoyed hearing so many people be so brave and share their experiences and bonus, chad is a gracious and kind hearted host. He knows exactly what to ask and is just a super easy going guy.... perfect for dealing with people who have suffered the wrath of narcissistic abuse. Wonderful show!!!

Hi Chad! Thanks for this amazing podcast. Very helpful. I am wondering if there is a way for me to get into contact with Leyla? I am literally right in the middle of a very similar situation with my PO abusive husband. I’m also infuriated seeing what is happening within law enforcement and domestic violence. I am working on a project for justice. Would love to talk to her if she is interested. Thank you!! Laura

I was struggling with validation & understanding what I had been going through; fortunately, I found this podcast. There are TONS of episodes, topics, and guests (survivors and experts). Chad is an awesome host & ensures you feel a bit more knowledgeable at the end of each episode. If you’re looking for more information or are just diving into truly understanding NPD/traits, you need to listen to Narcissistic Apocalypse!!

Bruce’s episode. May 3

I listen to many abuse podcasts and many episodes of this podcast and all I kept doing during this one, was nodding my head and FULLY connecting and remembering that what Bruce described happened to me almost exactly!!!!I haven’t even finished listening, but i HAD to write. It was as though I was listening to someone who had taken a course in narcissistic abuse, which he technically did, but he had no Idea! This episode is a huge trigger for me, but to hear his experiences so well described with all the “correct” terminology just confirms-yet again-that I am not the only one out there, that I wasn’t going crazy and that what happened to me was abuse, in the highest degree. Chad, thank you SO much for this podcast and for the episode with Bruce. I hope he reads this review. Thank you both so much!!

Chad and Jaws

What am I listening to ???? Ok so , I started listening to this podcast a while ago , I’m a survivor of a narcissist of many years , I like learning about this to find out the ins and outs of this monster I lived with and why I let it go on for so long . I was hopeful to listen and enjoy this podcast but Chad what’s up ?!?! The concept is a good one but the depth is not worthy. I just wasted over an hour listening to your sob story ( with JAWS?!?) which can I tell you ? she may be a good friend but to us listeners she seriously hasn’t got a stick to stand on with your podcast, I’ve heard her on other episodes as well ,BLAH BLAH BLAH , on January 13th episode, I was sure this would be the last one , it was all about your neighbors who wanted to sue you and your personal problems?!?! Believe me there’s plenty of those podcast but what happened to the “”Narcissist””??? either you need to call this podcast “Chads world “ or get more help making this worthwhile to all of us listeners who Definatly don’t want to hear your personal problems!!!!!

Episode with Alex - Same story for me

Alex’s episode was so eerily similar to my story and what I am going through that I was both shocked and relieved. To not be alone as a male victim and to hear his story greatly has helped me. Jason

Helping Me Leave

**I left. Thank you to everyone in this community. This has been life changing for me. I’m a woman currently married to another female “narcissist.” Narcissism doesn’t discriminate. A life of competition, entitlement, projection, gas lighting....being silenced and worn down by abuse (emotional and physical) in the most intricate of forms. Thank you to Chad! You are doing something so important, and I have personally heard things in this pod cast that I will carry with me for the rest of my journey through leaving my narcissistic wife and healing.

Great Podcast

Hearing the actual voices in their own words describing and sharing life experiences of narcissistic abuse has been so cathartic. It is real, relatable and not clinical.

Married to a narc

I thought I was losing my mind, I began disliking myself and finding faults in my friends. I’m so glad I found this podcast. I can relate to the stories and now I know it’s not me that’s crazy.

Wonderful show

I really have enjoyed the show, living with a narcissist as well. However, the new formatting of putting people’s stories into “acts” I feel is distasteful and leaves me unsettled. It’s terminology that distracts from the seriousness of the issues and just reminds me over all of how much narcissist’s act on over all. Please take it out of the show, it just seems like it’s a cute thing to do for a more casual show.

This podcast was exactly what I needed...

I had no idea until I found this podcast, but it was exactly what I needed. “Need” is a strong word, but it’s no exaggeration in this context. I spent years feeling incredibly confused and lost, and then the moment I started listening to this podcast and the stories the guests shared, something switched back on in me. The stories sounded so familiar, and I finally found out what to call what happened to me. There’s nothing quite like that, especially when you go on for some time wondering if anyone could understand what you’ve been through. I’m incredibly thankful for this show, the amazing people featured on it, and for the host for being able to provide a platform as organized and sincere as this one. It’s the best thing I found in 2019, and just in time.

Love-it!!

great community

I came upon this podcast after dreaming that I was looking up podcasts about narcissists. I was looking for validation of my hunch, and it turns out I was (unfortunately) right. I really love hearing inspiring stories of how people leave their abusers, and that healing is possible. I feel stronger with every episode I listen to, and I’m so glad I broke free of the narc in my life.

Must Listen!

I am absolutely LOVING this podcast! I was searching for podcasts related to narcissistic abuse, but I stopped looking once I found this one. The interviews with real survivors has opened my eyes to so much. They are inspiring, heartbreaking, validating, and educational. I have already had several AHA moments, taken notes, laughed, and cried. I am so appreciative of Chad and the guests on his show who are willing to share their stories. Surviving this sort of insidious abuse is so difficult, but this podcast has already given me a lot of hope. THANK YOU!!!

Healing

This podcast is fabulous. The real-life stories have helped me realize how unhealthy my old relationship actually was, which has helped with the healing process. I highly recommend this podcast.

Lifeline

This podcast has been so helpful and supportive during my marriage with a narcissist. The emotional and physical abuse has been so confusing and emotionally exhausting. Thank you for all your work. It’s been a lifeline.

Very dull. No storytelling quality

I heard about this podcast on Dopey n thought I’d try it. I have tried to listen to Annie Episode 3 times now n I just can’t finish it. She is an awful rambling storyteller n the host just lets her run like a therapy session. A podcast is an audio story n the host needs to know how to get someone to tell that story right. I am jot an addict but have listened to every episode of Dopey bc it’s do interesting. I wanted to learn about Narcissism more but I can’t bear to listen to Annie’s granular detail of every single day of her relationship. I have to unsubscribe.

I can’t get enough of these stories!

I listen to these podcasts at bedtime. I find that it brings me comfort to listen to others who have gone through similar things as I have. Chad becomes that familiar friend over the radio. Thanks to all the women who share their story and thanks Chad for doing your part to let us get our stories out there. This brings awareness to the kind of monsters that walk among us disguised as charming heroes until the love bombing stops and the mask falls off.

Politics! Why?!

Pretty good show, until he starts into his diatribes about Donald Trump. Why do people have to make everything about politics? So exhausting.

Surviving A Narcissist

This podcast took me on an emotional roller coaster. I was in a long term relationship with someone who did similar things and at the time I had no clue what a Narcissist was. I was constantly being manipulated and forced to stay in the relationship. My mate would always threaten to self harm and do all types of things. I am glad to hear that you were able to get help for your brother. I know that was extremely difficult and the guilt trip that comes along with it from your brother is extremely overwhelming. I am glad that you took the time to create this podcast. This is very much needed. This lets the rest of us know that we aren’t alone and we aren’t “crazy” for no longer wanting to deal with our family/mates “shenanigans” and “tantrums”. I have a friend that is currently going through a similar situation with her parent and I am going to share your podcast with her. I appreciate you for taking the time to tell your story and I look forward to future episodes.
