Emotional Abuse is Abuse. If you are in danger or need immediate help:

• Call a help line: Toll FreePhone: 800-799-7233 / 800-799-SAFE
• Shelters do accept women who are emotionally abused and have not been physically abused. Go here (http://stoprelationshipabuse.org/help/its-not-your-fault/) for a list of resources, or ask the help line for shelters near you.
• If you have been threatened with harm or death, or are being stalked (followed and harassed) by your partner or ex-partner, you can call the police for help.
• Plan for your safety if you are considering leaving your relationship. Sometimes leaving can increase your risk of harm. You can find resources to help you create a safety plan here (http://stoprelationshipabuse.org/help/develop-a-safety-plan/).

Questions and answers on Emotional Abuse and Narcissism
1. Is calling names, pointing fingers and degrading me during a fight when things go wrong abuse? Why do they pretend all is well during the calm cycle? How does one get out?
2. I love the Relationship Recovery Course. Did you always want to be a Life Coach?
3. Is it normal that I'm suddenly obsessed with learning more about Narcissism since I see these traits in my husband?
4. He's trying to hoover me back after I went no contact, but I can't help but feel guilty. What do I do?
5. I'm fresh out of an insanely toxic, abusive in every way relationship, and I can't stop cycling through the good memories. How do I make it? I want to call him.
6. I found out last night that my Narc-ex is now engaged to a new girl while I'm still recovering from all the trauma. He caused me to throw away all the plans we made, he threw away so easily. Do you have any advice? I was doing better until this pushed me down again.
7. I'm having a hard time accepting that what would happen to me is emotional abuse. Other people have had it worse than me. My situation has caused me a lot of anxiety and depression. Any advice?
8. Can you heal from a trauma bond if you stay with the same person who caused it?
9. Is it normal to care about my narcissistic ex that I hope they get the proper mental health?
10. My narcissistic ex somehow still knows everything I'm doing and is now accusing me of stealing his friends. We're supposed to be at a wedding this weekend, and he lied and said they didn't want me there, so I opted not to go. Is this normal behavior? Will he stop?
11. My narcissistic spouse makes me highly anxious, and I've developed high blood pressure and a fast heart rate, but he says I just have anxiety issues. Is it normal to have physical symptoms of emotional abuse?

Do toxic relationships make you mirror abusive behaviors?
In this episode, I explore a common question: am I just like them? I explore whether living with a narcissist or emotionally abusive partner can make us react in ways that feel out of character, just to survive.
Key Takeaways:
- Understanding reactive abuse and why it happens.
- Strategies for setting boundaries with yourself and others.
- The importance of recognizing your triggers and maintaining your individuality.
Tune in to learn how to navigate these challenging situations without losing yourself.
