Mostly info commercial

Maybe I caught some off episodes but I was really disappointed by the content. The titles made it sound like helpful information but was actually just advertising for her business.

Caroline is the absolute Best

I am so thankful to have found Caroline and her podcast and all that she has to share and offer. This is the first time I’ve heard someone literally share my life in their own story and the very first time I ever felt heard, seen, understood, validated, and truly believed I was safe and Not Crazy. So grateful for this show and Caroline and her Team. Life changing 💕💕💕💕💕

Ample 1-Star ratings here… why?

This podcast used to be awesome! Ms. Strawson started out as a humble survivor who genuinely wanted to educate, support, and heal others suffering from Narcissistic abuse. And she absolutely did that; it was wonderful. Yet, things have changed for two reasons… (1) Ms. Strawson became a salesperson through and through. Her emails now are identical to a late night infomercial (like “sign up in the next hour for a $3k course and I’ll give you thousands of dollars of free stuff, but you have to PAY NOW” etc etc). And (2) I began to explore other podcasts on the same subject and realized that there are simply way more qualified, humble and consistent hosts out there. Firstly - Ms. Strawson only ever talks about her ex-husband, who definitely is a narcissist. She doesn’t share about other narcissistic relationships throughout her life, which as most all of you know is quite common for us HSPs. But that’s not what bothers me… it’s the fact that she always brings it back to her abuse, with the same stories over and over. Like she can’t relate in any way unless it happened with her ex. *If she has a special guest on rare occasion, an expert, who shares their experiences on the show, she will always interject with her personal experience rather than staying focused on theirs. If she is educating listeners to textbook concepts of narcissism, she always stops to talk about the things her husband did. There’s a lack of being able to give examples outside of her own experience and an inability to speak and think at 60,000 feet, from a high level. It always circles back to her one relationship experience. *******Lastly and most importantly - her podcast and business have evolved this year to a place that is highly triggering to me. It feels like she is preying on the vulnerable in order to make money. She educates people on all things trauma and knows that most of the listeners are struggling with trauma. Step 1, that draws us in. Then, she will constantly try to sell you on a very expensive program. And not just an offering or mention, no - she uses sales tactics that are meant to get someone to sign up immediately, versus taking time to seriously consider the investment. That doesn’t feel right when people are following her because they are in a desperate situation, or traumatized, or even have survived and are on the other side. By definition- she’s taking advantage of a vulnerable population. Not just because she’s selling services, no - it’s the way she goes about selling that feels manipulative. As mentioned above, she used to be a humble women that just wanted to help people. Now, she appears like a desperate entrepreneur that isn’t being mindful of how manipulative and triggering her sales pitch style can be. You’re better off following other podcasts hosts, because not a single one that I mention below are going to blast your inbox or radio with infomercial tactics that pressure you to pay immediately or else lose out on thousands of dollars of services, literally. On top of that, other podcasts and leaders in this field will provide you with a variety of stories, from their personal lives and others, include WAY more guests with expertise, and these folks don’t always turn it around to themselves and their relationship. I’m taking the time to write this review in order to help someone who is desperate for help like I am but doesn’t want to feel triggered and taken advantage of. Narcissism recovery, navigating narcissism, waking up to narcissism, the covert narcissist podcast.

Narcissist

The episode talks about what swings a person codependent or narcissist do you think popularity could be a factor? In school the codependent could have been the loaner outsider and narcissist was in the “popular sports crowd” ???

Knowing is half the battle

A must listen if you think you’re going crazy or may be the victim of narcissistic abuse. I wish I’d have found this podcast years and years ago. I’ve thought a lot of these things, taken the blame, worked for years begging for my husband to plug into our marriage. He was a big drinker, addicted to video games, compulsive liar, manipulative, just learned addicted to online cyber sexual relationships and online affairs (I’m told not physical) but they lasted for years. So thankful I found this podcast to aid in my healing. 15 years of being married to a man I’m not sure I even knew. The detachment and emotional abuse started about 4 years into our marriage and I thought it was the normal “ the honeymoon phase ending” and needing to work on making it work which I wanted to do and did and he didn’t and got a contempt towards me.

Vague and repetitive.

I tried. I listened to several episodes that had promising titles that I really hoped to learn from but the vagueness and lack of details was maddening. Additionally, for “clarity”, our host will just repeat her vague explanation instead of defining and giving examples. The topics looked so promising. Very disappointed.

This podcast has made an incredible difference for me. As a codependent person married to. Narcissist for 31 years I am getting clarity for the first time! Finally I have broken away instead of going back and forth on the hanpster wheel for the last 6 years!! Thank you thank you!

Talk Therapy is Good but...

This podcast has educated me on myself and the people in my life in ways that years of counseling couldn't. My counselor was a wonderful person and helped me understand trauma, but not in so much depth as Caroline. Thank you Caroline for sharing your wisdom on this particular topic. I never knew anything about narcissistic trauma and that I had been victimized by it almost my entire life. You're amazing, thank you, thank you.

Blessing

I wish I’d found Caroline’s podcast and support groups. However, I’ve finally found her and can’t tell y’all how much she has helped me in my recovery of 3 narcissist relationship (my husband and 2 relationships). I’m in such a better place. Thank you Caroline!! Xoxo

Thank you

I have been really struggling. I know I live with a narcissist. I’ve been trying to make this relationship better. It’s just so hard and often times when I find myself trying, it somehow always gets slapped in my face. It’s like what tried to do was pointless. I feel guilty for even starting up the conversation. I don’t have social media, but I would love to speak with you personally Caroline. Listening to you helps me feel less guilty.

74 when your family and friends tell you to ignore the narcissist

I am slowly cutting of contact with my narcissist and this is a perfect explanation of what I am going through. I felt like a failure when I would give in and respond back to my narcissist and or spend some time with him. Everything I have been researching says to go no contact and my friends tell me to go no contact. I can’t wait to get to that point in my life but this is such a validating podcast for that time where we are “weening” ourselves off of the abuse. Thank you for this.

Wow

Glad you talked about sex and lack of intimacy because for the past couple years I have no desire and thought something was physically wrong with me but it makes so much sense. Me personally…. it’s the tantrums, name calling and criticizing every morning following intimacy that made me close off more and more! He also says things like “you can’t tell me no” 😳 six years living like this and I’m hoping not to waste much more of my time and energy.

Wowwow!!!!!

I do feel like she was referring to me all the time this podcast is something everyone and even someone not going through such experience should listen. This is because you never know what you really are going through and even if you were told you would be in denial that you can make the relationship work, I am struggling with a narcissistic relationship and I have come to the point where I have decided not to be a victim anymore but a victor. Self positive affirmations are key to this process.

Not just for women

I didn’t like that the podcast description is to help “women” as narcissists aren’t just exclusively men. But this is spot on about how narcs are, spotting them and trying to recover from the abuse. Wish I knew these things before but I was so addicted to this person as they created this perfect persona to be exactly what I needed and then I had to learn the hard way as I scratched my head about certain behaviors. Thank god for resources like this to help us recover!

So helpful

This podcast has done so much for me and my healing. I am so glad I found this. This is changing my life. Thank you so so much. I will be reading your free book this weekend. What a relief this has brought me. It is much more helpful than my therapist, even though she is great. I use my sessions to talk but this allows me to listen and understand from someone who experienced similar situations.

Episode 037

Wow... I’m listening to this Podcast and I am in utter amazement at the information I am receiving. I lasted 6 years in a marriage to a narcissist and to this day, I am amazed at how I escaped. He had me almost to the point of convincing me I was mentally ill and even bought handguns and made reference that “ I know you just want to kill yourself”... if not for my sister finally making phone contact with me that day and screaming at me to leave or I’d be dead soon- I don’t think I’d be here to write these words today. I ran when I could with nothing more than 2 suitcases and left all my belongings behind- which mean nothing to me today as I thought they meant to me while I was with him. He filed for a divorce 3 days after I left him and never tried to make the marriage work ( which is the ultimate blessing in disguise- but at the time, I loved him and didn’t get it). I believe the pain I went thru is what folks call “ survival mode” and I wouldn’t wish this mental anguish on my worst enemy. If you are out there, feeling alone, I beg you to know you are a beautiful soul who can make it without that horrible human in your life! Sure, I’m 55, live at my childhood home with Mom- found a job that stresses me... but I no longer walk on eggshells or fear honestly for my life- in fact, life is pretty awesome these days!!! Just had to share- thank you 🙏

Unnerved

Caroline is SO kind, loving, and gentle in how she explains everything. That said, I’m fresh out of an 8-month NPD relationship and as I listen to her describe what these relationships look like, I genuinely feel so understood, it’s unnerving to me. Genuinely unnerving. Like so many others, it feels like she’s describing my ex SO specifically, I feel sick. I definitely think this is going to be a podcast I continually return to while I work through how to regain my life. Really wonderful, informative, and cathartic to hear.

WOW, just WOW!!! I knew something was wrong in the relationship. I kept going back and not knowing why. Was I broken? Am I the crazy one? Caroline breaks it all down, how our brains work and how theirs works. Why we are the way we are and how to cope! This podcast has given me new life!!

Thank you

I’ve been out of a narcissistic relationship for 8 months and only started processing 2 months ago and I’ve really been blaming me and suppressing so much. I have been in therapy honestly my adult life for eating disorder and anxiety and I know I am a narc magnet but I loved him so much and he destroyed me, this podcast had helped me so much along with life coaching, mediation, my regular therapy, and a lot of other practices. I’m still sad a lot but I’m hoping if I keep healing I can be ok.

Thank you so much Caroline. The way you explain everything is not only comforting explaining the science behind what exactly is happening really makes it feel like I’m not some crazy person. Anyone who has dealt with a narcissist, ptsd, trauma bond and Gaslighting might relate to feeling like second guessing ourselves is all too familiar. This podcast has given me so much strength.

Love this podcast

I have found Caroline to be so helpful and the fact that she herself has been through the same thing as the rest of us causes her to feel and be more trustworthy and relatable to me. I have only listened to a couple episodes but I have already benefited so much, I have felt so validated, and I feel like I now know which direction to take with my healing. The only negative thing I have to say is that I wish the sound quality was a little better, but regardless I’m still going to listen.

The Real Deal

Caroline is the real deal. Many therapists think they understand trauma bonding and CPTSD, but Caroline has had it. This gives her the ability to come to her classes and audience with a compassionate and understanding heart that only a fellow victim could have. Friends and family have no clue what it is like to try to leave a narcissist. They have no idea how hard it is to stay away. Caroline gives us the tools to show them the science behind the hell we lived. Thank you Caroline, you have truly become a super hero!

Validating

“I believe you.” When you have been in a relationship with a covert narcissist, you desperately need to hear those words. It’s so confusing that you question your own perception. Thank you for making this topic one of the first podcast because dealing with a covert (covered up) narcissist truly keeps you trapped in trying to understand and reason with someone, whom you can’t use those concepts with in first place. It’s also confusing to family and friends, who may unknowingly invalidate your suspicions because it’s not as easy to detect fir those outside the relationship. This is a unique journey. Love yourself. Breathe. Keep learning and keep going. Love this podcast and your other work ❤️

Best Podcast on Narcissistic Recovery

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! It’s been 6 years now since we were able to get my abusive and narcissistic father out of my moms house. It was VERY hard and intimidating trying to find resources at the time that would validate what we were going through! I am SO happy that this vital information is getting out there. I can’t recommend this podcast more, Caroline gets it, she understands because she’s been there too. We absolutely can live vibrant and beautiful lives after narcissistic abuse, and I know her podcast and website will be a gentle and loving guide to uplift and encourage you on the journey!

Life saver!

I found Caroline’s YouTube channel during the hardest time of my life. And it literally opened my eyes. I couldn’t find answers to so many questions, I felt lost, broken, devastated and that everything was my fault. I couldn’t control my own actions and words. I was finding myself lying on the floor and crying.. asking my ex to take me back. My family couldn’t recognize their bright strong and smart daughter. All my self confidence was gone. I didn’t feel like I exist anymore. Caroline gave me a deep knowledge what is narcissistic abuse, gaslighting and PTSD. And I started my healing journey with the most important thing: IT WASN’T MY FAULT! This podcast is one more tool I can use before going to bed or while taking a stroll. Every time you feel down or giving up, that your journey is too long and too much to take.. Caroline’s voice is right here to calm you down and to let you know that you’re capable to overcome everything! How powerful and strong you are! Thank you Caroline for taking care of us and to find more ways to educate and heal our broken minds and hearts!
