Latest / Narcissist Apocalypse: Patterns of Abuse

Debrief | Coercive Control, Cognitive Dissonance, & Survival in Kristi’s Story

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon debriefs Kristi’s survivor story and explores the patterns that kept her trapped for years. He breaks down coercive control, fear, financial abuse, cognitive dissonance, institutional betrayal, and the way fear, obligation, guilt, and shame were used to keep Kristi in survival mode.

This is a debrief about how abuse can begin through the promise of family, how psychological destabilization can erode self-trust, and what healing can look like in the aftermath.
