Episode Title: Narcissistic Abuse Fallout: Why the Pain Doesn’t End When They Leave

You’ve left the narcissist. You thought the hard part was over. But now… the real fallout begins.

In this episode of Real Talk: Divorce, Life & Everything In-Between, Lorene Roberts and Richard Morden dive into what really happens after a toxic relationship ends — and why the emotional wounds can linger long after your ex is out of your life.

Leaving a narcissist isn’t the end of the story — it’s the beginning of recovery. The gaslighting, emotional manipulation, love bombing, and control tactics may be behind you, but the damage to your self-worth, identity, and nervous system can stick around like an invisible weight.

We break down:

• Why survivors often feel worse after they leave
• The identity crisis that follows emotional abuse
• Why guilt, shame, and confusion are so common — even when you know they were toxic
• How the narcissist’s voice becomes your own inner critic
• The physical effects of long-term emotional abuse (fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, hypervigilance)
• What decision paralysis and emotional numbness really mean
• The importance of reclaiming your voice — and how to do it gently, one step at a time

This is not just an intellectual conversation — it’s raw, real, and validating. Lorene and Richard don’t just speak from professional knowledge, but from personal experience and deep compassion.

Whether you're just starting your healing journey or years out and still struggling with the impact, this episode will help you understand that you’re not crazy — you're recovering. And you're not alone.

🎧 Tune in if:

• You’ve left a narcissist but still feel stuck, confused, or ashamed
• You’re dealing with the aftershock of emotional abuse
• You want to understand why it’s so hard to trust yourself again
• You’re ready to take your first steps toward freedom and emotional clarity
