The Narc and Me

The Narc and Me, a podcast hosted by Ashlee Levitch, a 5 year survivor of Narcissistic Abuse. The Narc & Me podcast will explore the healing journey, how to break trauma bond, the number one question asked by fellow survivors: “What is cognitive dissonance and why did it keep you in the relationship with a toxic, abusive partner?” What are the physical and sometimes long lasting effects of being with a narcissistic partner and will they go away? Narcissistic abuse has been called by many licensed professionals as “the most severe form of domestic violence” and yet in most cases, it’s still suffered behind closed doors. The Narc & Me will shine a spotlight on the abuse, the traits of narcissist and their long list of tactics to gain supply, how they trauma bond them, devalue them, breadcrumb and future fake them and ultimately break down their self. And more importantly, how you heal after all of this has been done to you.
