You Are Not Crazy
You’re exhausted from over-functioning, always managing the chaos just to make it seem okay. You feel alone. Misunderstood. Like no one sees the full story—except you.
Your friends don’t get it. You question yourself constantly. You wonder if you're the problem. You're not.
I understand—because I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to be stuck in an emotionally abusive relationship, gaslit into silence, and walking on eggshells every day.
This podcast is here to help you feel seen. To help you make sense of the confusion. To show you that you're not crazy—and you're not alone.
Whether you’re navigating narcissistic abuse, trauma bonding, or post-separation control, you’ll find clarity, validation, and language for what’s actually happening.
This is your space to reclaim your truth and begin healing—on your terms.

You Are Not Crazy
Mapping Your Specific Cycle of Abuse
If you’ve ever felt like you were stuck in a relationship that kept repeating the same painful patterns—no matter how much you tried to fix it—this episode is for you.
In this episode, learn how the cycle of abuse plays out in emotionally abusive relationships—not as a clean four-part theory, but as a lived, messy, repetitive trap that keeps survivors hooked through false hope and temporary calm.
You’ll learn:
- How to identify your specific version of the abuse cycle
- Why tension, incident, reconciliation, and “calm” aren’t always linear
- How abusers manipulate the calm phase to keep you hooked
- What it means when someone is addicted to reconciling, not repairing
- How to start mapping your own cycle—so you can break it
This is not about blaming you. It’s about giving you the clarity you were never allowed to have.
