Episode notes
Not all wounds leave bruises. Some leave confusion, silence, and self-doubt.
In this first episode of The Quiet Exit™, we explore the layered and often misunderstood nature of narcissistic abuse.
You’ll learn:
• What narcissistic abuse really is (beyond the buzzwords)
• How it differs from everyday conflict or toxic behavior
• Why survivors often struggle to explain their experience
• Why this abuse thrives in silence—and how naming it is a first step to healing
This episode is for those who were erased quietly, manipulated gently, or blamed loudly. You’re not alone. And you don’t need permission to walk away.
