  • Summary

  • Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of narcissistic abuse, manipulation, and toxic relationships, which may be triggering for some listeners. This episode I sit down with Vanessa Reiser, a resilient therapist, author, and survivor whose life story is a beacon of hope and transformation. Growing up in Rockland County, New York, Vanessa faced significant challenges, taking on parental responsibilities at a young age. These early struggles ignited her passion for social work, leading her to earn her master's degree and eventually specialize in narcissistic and cult abuse. Vanessa's incredible journey is marked by her ability to turn adversity into strength. Despite her turbulent childhood and the obstacles she faced, she now runs her own practice, helping others escape and heal from manipulative and toxic relationships. In this heartfelt conversation, Vanessa and I delve into the complexities of narcissistic abuse, drawing parallels between cult dynamics and abusive relationships. They explore the profound impact of such experiences on mental health and the essential strategies for breaking free from these destructive patterns. Vanessa shares insights from her upcoming book, ‘Narcissistic Abuse: How to Identify, Escape, and Heal from Manipulative, Toxic People’, providing valuable guidance for those seeking to reclaim their lives. Her story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, the power of community, and the potential for healing and growth.
