🎙️ NEW EPISODE DROPPING TODAY! Dave and I are back unpacking my conversation with @reelannmarieallison the producer of @youredatinganarcissistmovie 🎬 We talk about something so important: how do you make a movie that is HEAVY enough to shine a light on the very real dangers of narcissistic abuse without turning it into a movie about a serial killer? Because narcissistic abuse doesn’t always look like something out of a horror movie. It can look charming, loving, successful, and completely normal from the outside. And that’s exactly what makes it so dangerous. We need stories that help people recognize the red flags, understand the psychological manipulation, and see the danger BEFORE they’re trapped in it. This conversation is about storytelling, awareness, and why getting narcissistic abuse right matters so much. ❤️‍🩹 🎧 Listen to the new episode of Narcissistic Abuse with Vanessa Reiser wherever you get your podcasts!

🎙️ NEW EPISODE ALERT! Dave and I are back breaking down my conversation with @reelannmarieallison the producer of @youredatinganarcissistmovie 🎬 We dig into how to tell a story that captures the REAL weight and danger of narcissistic abuse without making it seem like a Hollywood thriller about a serial killer. Because the truth is, abuse doesn’t always look terrifying. Sometimes it looks like the perfect partner, the charming personality, or the person everyone else thinks is wonderful. Behind closed doors, the reality can be entirely different. That’s why representation matters. We need films that show the seriousness of this kind of abuse, help people recognize the red flags, and expose the manipulation that can keep someone stuck in a toxic relationship. ❤️‍🩹 🎧 Tune in to Narcissistic Abuse with Vanessa Reiser and listen wherever you get your podcasts!

🎙️ DAVE AND I UNPACK THE @reelannmarieallison EPISODE In this clip from Narcissistic Abuse with Vanessa Reiser, Dave and I talk about a truth that can be incredibly difficult to accept when you are trying to leave a narcissistic relationship: You can get away the hard way, or the hard way. There is no easy way out. You can leave today and face the grief, fear, uncertainty, withdrawal, rebuilding, and discomfort that come with breaking a trauma bond. Or you can leave years from now and face many of those same things, after giving the relationship even more of your time, energy, peace, and life. That does not mean leaving is simple. It isn’t. People stay for complicated reasons, including children, finances, fear, culture, isolation, trauma bonding, and coercive control. But waiting does not necessarily make the exit easier. Sometimes the choice is not between hard and easy. It is between hard now and hard later. And time is one thing we never get back. 🎧 Dave and I continue unpacking my conversation with Ann Marie Allison, producer of You’re Dating a Narcissist, on Narcissistic Abuse with Vanessa Reiser.
