Thank you Andrew. I watch many of your videos, but this one really touched a place in my heart. I recently had to break a friendship with a narcissist. I always knew something was off about this person, but I just couldn’t put my finger on it. Everything that she did and said was addressed in your videos. Until now, I did not know that much about narcissists, but I sure am learning now, thanks to you. I had to do research to find out what I have been dealing with, because I had no idea. But dealing with her made me lose sleep, my health was taking a nose dive. She soaked up all of time. But, after educating myself like I am doing now, I let her go, No Contact, now my health is a lot better, I am sleeping better. So, I want to thank you again for all that you do, even reliving a very painful time in your life in order to help us.🙏🏾🙏🏾

20 years of marriage there is nothing that belongs to that man in my house no pictures no clothes I burned all of it. Gave his tools and things like to people that wanted them I just want to forget that he ever existed. I was good to that man and he treated me like dirt. At the time I didn’t know he was a narcissist.

Andrew, I just came upon this video clip from 1 year ago. The way you went about going through the fire is EXACTLY the way I went through, including cutting everyone associated with the narc out of my life. I did a lot of flying monkey/enablers housecleaning. You are correct, there are hundreds of thousands of people experiencing or having experienced what you and I have. Knowing that there is a supportive community out there is so comforting and reassuring. Again, thank you for what you do.

I believe I'm in the middle of a trauma bond. My ex wife divorced me a year ago (after 25 years), yet she continued to pull me in through late night texts, weekend getaway's, dinner dates, dinner with the kids, vacation with the kids...until one day a month ago I find out she's out of town with another man she had met, when just the week before I spent the weekend with her...I was thinking maybe things were improving. After I confronted her, she wanted to work on "being friends", yet still see this guy...I literally tried it for a week and had to cut it off...this is the worst period of my life, the lowest...I'm trying to live in the moment, positive thoughts, but it's been a tough month...I'm lucky I'm still here to be honest.

I survived this trauma bond hanging by my fingertips. This information saves lives. Once I finally identified my ex as a narcissist, I learned the abuse i went through wasnt my fault and my deterioration wasnt my fault. Narcissistic abuse really should be taken as seriously as any other crime because their intent to kill you is very real. Please be safe and love yourselves.

I finally made some headway when I realized I had never loved the man I married. I loved the man I THOUGHT he was - an illusion. It made it easier to move on. Now if only I could handle the triggers better. Once I get triggered it’s like reliving the whole mess. Easy to become discouraged sometimes, but I have to move forward. I will NEVER GO BACK TO THAT HELL.

Exactly. About 3 years ago my Rebecca changed completely. I thought she had a mental breakdown. I was wondering where the person I fell in love with went and when she would be back. It wasn't until recently I figured out that I was witnessing the real Rebecca now for the last 3 years. The Rebecca I met and fell in love with 8 years ago never existed. It's a hard pill to swallow but it is the truth. I told someone recently it had gotten to where I don't even know what is real and what is fake about her. These are nasty, deceitful scum.

Thank you sooo much for your videos!! I was married for 28 yrs and my husband died… I struggled with grief for years because I was so attached and have totally lost myself. This past year I finally realized that I was in a narcissistic relationship. I ended up with chronic fatigue syndrome 14 yrs ago and my doctor believed that he contributed to this breakdown. I was a career woman and knew that he was demanding with an explosive temper, but I’m seeing now who he really was. Anyway- after him about 3 yrs later while I was still grieving, I ended up in another relationship that I just ended. He was a covert narcissist- which was even worse! I’m finally out of it and have learned so much! Everything that you are saying is correct!!! I went back to him several times, except when I was finally done! Thanks again! You are a beautiful person! Us empaths need to stick together! ❤

The first 3 sentences were worth watching alone. You betray yourself in order to appease the narcissist. It's heartbreaking because for the longest time you don't even know you're doing it - you just end up disliking and being disgusted with yourself for the behaviours they have driven you to.

The way I spoke to that creature was anything but respectful the last 5 years of the 25years, by the time he left, I hated the sight of him, the sound of its voice, it's car coming in the driveway. I sold the weddings rings to cash converters, deleted the photos, still waiting for the final legals to get the rest of its rubbish out of my house.

I left twice...once as a 16 year old and then as a 50 year old. I should have NEVER gotten back with him. The whole relationship relationship, then marriage and children was about M e doing way too much on every level. Horribly, life -altering events were dictated/ forced until the outcomes were/are his...no matter how I reacted. His words and deeds kept me off balance in so many ways. I lost myself and ruined my life...I had so many plans and I know that my childen's lives would have been better if I'd had the courage to leave...

I took responsibility for being in it and staying in after lies and betrayal, then shattered the rose colored glasses leaving no way back. Next I broke the trauma bond with deep introspect induced by two ayahuasca ceremonies. It was like a cord was instantly cut. Moving forward lots of therapy and journaling. I sometimes have nightmares and slip into fog where I have to replay key events from the relationship, recalling the dark-low-vibe condition she swells in, and remind myself that I’m a better man today and of my ability to love unconditionally. 3 years and 5 months (9 months engaged) spent with her but I have no regrets. I have her blocked from all except text/calls but never reply/answer. The radical cycle of messages I get may be valuable in court should she bring false testimony against me. It’s been 33 days and my healing has been expedited by my will, faith and power of my words. I pray for her every night, and leave her in the hands of divinity.

Forgive yourself and love yourself is hard but it is possible with forgive others , discernment is life great lessons, I hope all is well for your journey, a new chapter without those behaviors is a plus , to move forward and not to go back to that , and setting healthier boundaries with the powerful word of NO, wether they like it or not , In my past relationships been token advantage of , last close relationship got pooped on and it was like a final warning of what it could have been the wrong way which was not right , I been discarded , its actually a good thing called it out for what it is and now i know lies and manipulate is toxic behavior, no contact so far , he got what he wanted , i forgive him and Im working on forgiving myself especially allowing him to treat me terribly , hang in there and know there are other people who have been or going through the same , take care and God bless you , thank you for listening.

I have found out there are many layers upon layers of "trama bonds" within the narcissistic relationship. I've been pealing back, layer by layer, analyzing, dealing with each one, in steps, on my way to healing. It's alot of hard work, soul searching, reprogramming my mind, emotions and responses. It's not an easy journey but necessary. There's a huge goal that I'm striving for, ME!

The Narcisse will get their 10 fold share of Karma! Best part, let the Lord do it! Let him be in control. Stay focused on the Prize; which IS JESUS and Making it back "Home too Heaven, from were we came from!" Pain and Suffering is part of caring HIS CROSS. Think about that for awhile?

You don't really realise just HOW MUCH you had invested in them until you start looking back , and it's such a shock to see how much of yourself and your life you sacrificed for them ! They were like poisoned ivy on a tree , their toxic shoots found there way into your every nook and cranny , soficating every last breath out of you until you couldn't move or grow ! It's a very complicated and slow process to recovery , you have to peel back every clinging shoot before you are free , and that takes time ! They controlled you truth and reality for so long it can haunt you as you slowly rediscover and recenter yourself , you ruminate so much because it's like coming off a bad drug that you depended on !! I still occasionally feel their thoughts or hear their toxic opinions in my head on decisions and choices I make , or the new relationships I For as long as I remember they were my only authority , my green or red light , my truth maker ! How shocking to think that you allowed someone's opinion to control you ,. well that's what you have to deal with , a poisoned bond that HAS to be broken to be truly free and healthy once again 🙏🙏💪

Another great video Andrew!! Trauma bonds were the hardest thing for me to get though after 8 years of abuse. What helped me the most was writing down all of the horrible things that he did and said then reading the numerous pages when I was feeling broken and confused. Now when I read it I feel like a total bad ass for educating myself, going complete no contact, thinking logically instead of emotionally and surviving the horrific experience, I see what a beautiful, patient, giving, loving person I am.Totally unaware at the time that such disgusting, toxic human beings are out there. I feel empowered now with the new knowledge and grateful that I had the strength to care enough about myself and well being to heal and move on with my life.

This video couldn’t have come at a better time bc I’m going through the trauma bond right now and it is very difficult to overcome. I know it takes time and knowledge like how you have explained. I try to remind myself every day that the relationship I had with my ex narc was all a lie and deception. You are right, there is no love with a narcissist. My ex narc was with me to get what he wanted and when he didn’t get “everything” he wanted, he discarded me. Thank you for the encouragement. 🙏

Like Andrew says in his videos, the recovery process is not linear. We will always have our ups and downs but the important thing is that we are moving forward not back. Focus on your well being, engage in positive activities and please try not to ruminate about the past. Put the narcissist in the past. We deserve so much better. We deserve healthy mined people.

I, too, dove head-first into the deep end of the NPD education pool and sucked up like a sponge every drop I could get from the psychologists, therapists, experts, and even self-aware narcissists out there. There is so much power in education. So much strength began to materialize, and I surprised myself with my own decision to start taking steps…up and away. The facts and tactics learned from professionals are nice, but it is definitely important to also hear the stories of how other real “survivors” are doing it. Your stories are all lifting me up as well. Work on YOURSELF. Do what you LOVE. I took a children’s book writing class and found a NEW passion. Real love doesn’t ask you to mute yourself, it helps you reach your full potential…crank it to 11!

One of the realizations that helped me go complete NC was the brutal honesty of a few YT'ers that stated "they hate you" "they never loved you" "NO one who loves you treats you like that" "they'll never be satisfied until you're destroyed." When I reviewed my relationships it all started with my dad, telling me "we expect that of you" no matter how well I did, whilst we got cake when my sister got a D in school. Dad graduated to calling me a crook at family gatherings when I succeeded in business. He never missed an opportunity to tell me how my appearance didn't measure up. I started there and blocked every single person close to him and I'm in the process of getting out of this town. Even my nieces 7 year old daughter started being insulting, new family members also chimed in, the insults, smears, accusations just accelerated. I'm starting to feel really, really good, 8 months now. Good luck and keep watching these invaluable videos Andrew puts out.

After over 40 years of being sorounded by narcs I will tell you this. The trauma is like the devil holding up a mirror to your face, you hear loving words and you repeat it back to yourself in the reflection of the mirror. All the kindness and love bombing is PURE manipulation, there is no rym or reason behind it only to score points for the game that they play. The trauma is you feeling guilty for all the good times YOU created, it was not a shared moment, it was your moment. The trauma is you reimagining a good memory and guilt shaming yourself and its constant like being on a hampster wheel. You did nothing wrong all the guilt and blame lyes with them. Hope this helps and Father in heaven bless you.

It's almost as she wanted me to know I was being triangulated with her new harem. But just as an mere outsider basically. With "friends" of hers. (She as never asked about or admitted any romantic things, but could not help but to mention her "friends.") She kept showing up and I finally removed myself from the situation. I recently had to force myself to stop accepting the breadcrumbs and future faking and move.on. I think i'll be at the thriving point soon enough myself after having recently having seen that day I was also "preparing for finally present itself." I need to stay strong and stick it. Good for you for maintaining that much needed discipline. Pray that I can pull it off again like I used to. (She keeps trying a week hearted /half-assed Hoover and I'm a little too insulted by it to continue)

All I asked her was when do you think you can start help pay the rent again... lol wish I could make light of the whole situation but it's been the most horrific time in my life, she stole, lied cheated ... mostly was a mooch. Her mom is one of the poorest examples of a human I've ever seen. I tried to help but history always repeats. Wish she hadn't turned my adult kids into flying monkeys. Absolutely broke my heart. Therapist says I have ptsd (it's bad) that started in 2004 with exwife. I've attracted these broken people... NO MORE! Andrew you're experience and words of wisdom is priceless. Had she not drained me I'd love to pay it forward, to you. Building back now, its been excruciating to put it mildly. I was heavily trauma bonded. spent 3 months with 1 to 2 hrs of sleep. I was literally going crazy. went from second by second, now hr by hour. wow. a lifetime at 54 of nothing but brokenness. Emotionally immature, she's 30 but 5 yrs old emotionally. Very hard to understand at first. wow wow wow. Thank God you chose to wake up the world when you could have just saved yourself.

This resonates with me. My ex-husband still tries to control me with money. He is legally obligated to pay child maintenance but as we know by now these people don't play by any rules but their own. So if he wants to threaten withholding, then so be it. I am now keeping my money for myself (I used to give him some to help pay my rent). But since he is obviously not interested in being fair, neither am I. Every cent I make will now be spent on healing me, becoming kind and loving towards myself. All the money I work hard to earn belongs to me and my beautiful children. The Narc can make a plan like he has forced me to do so many times.

Delete, giggle, breathe, focus on me right here, right now, let it go, let it be.

I was married to a severe, covert narcissist for 40 years. I knew something was VERY wrong with our relationship, but - its like trying to nail jello to a tree. There's evidence... that no one else can see. There's behaviors that no one else would believe. There is abuse that you cannot prove. I was pushed away, ignored, purposely excluded from events & trips. Money taken out of our retirement fund without discussing it with me - tens of thousands of dollars - for self- promotion & "marketing". I was chased down a flight of stairs... multiple times, while being raged at for questioning said taking of money. I was bullied - emotionally, verbally & financially. After I wised up & requested he get counseling for narcissism, I was lied to, then systematically discarded.

Just talk to them short and simple without emotion. One thing that help me was I cried to God and pray and read scriptures and gospel music. I also got a lot of massages, pedicures and nails done. Oh also facials. I cut off all the people involving with the the ex. And watched a lot of videos. That helped me a lot and helped me with what to do. God bless us all.

Thank you for your support and the educational value of your videos. The trauma bond is so hard to break because it really messes with your own sense of reality. It's crazy making...that you could be so adored in the love bomb stage and then be completely discarded. I still feel a real sense of shame and failure from having been so conned. As an intelligent person with a psychology qualification, how on earth did I allow this to happen? How could I fall for it? I think that we all want so desperately to be loved and accepted, to receive someone's attention. With a Narc, that attention upfront is like a drug which quickly becomes an addiction. It's like Stockholm Syndrome, captured and imprisoned, reliant on what seems initially to be such high grade adoration.

Hold ur head HIGH!!! 🔥🔥🔥💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💯💯💯 🥺Realizing I had to break a Trauma Bond w my own Daughter (only child & Miracle Baby) is THE most difficult & painful thing I've had to face, even after ALL I've been through. So f hard & painful. 💔🥺😫 What I'm struggling w is she is/was a Child!!! The Narcs & others were all Adults. Who is the Narc that made me the "Unpaid Helper" ? Is the Bio--Father DIFFERENT than what I've been told? 😳I need to know. WHO would the Narc actually be? Or, is SHE the Narcissist? I mean, I know she was brainwashed by the evil Narcs around us, is it ONLY the brainwashing & it can't be undone? ©️

I've been binge-watching videos on this channel, I just recently discovered it, and it's now a favorite for great information from someone who had been through the fire. This video is just gold; so much information on how to break that nasty trauma bond. When I first began researching narcissism approximately a year ago, I learned lots of terms and what they meant. However, I felt that a few of the terms did not apply to me, and the trauma bond was one of them, I thought, "oh no, that one isn't me." The reason was because I was the one who left him; a year ago I saw that he was still lying to me after 4 years of giving him another chance, my trust was destroyed. So I left him, saying we'd live separate lives, and I've no contact for a year. I got divorce papers in the mail a couple months ago, and for whatever reason, maybe the sheer finality of it, it brought lots of hurt to the surface. And I have fought this insane urge to lash out on him and let him know about all the sly, shady stuff that I know he was doing. And I've had wildly fluctuating emotions, from deep grief, to almost a rage, and all in between. Sigh. The trauma bond is real. Even when you know they're trash, that trauma bond is no joke. BUT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON MYSELF, AND BETTERING MY LIFE, AND THAT HAS HELPED THE MOST. Thanks for a great video.

I relate to all of this. I gave my ex-husband way too many chances because I felt I had to stay "nice" for our children's sake and because I believe in fairness. Now I know how dangerous this is. No or absolute minimum contact is the only way out. I may not survive another attack by this heartless creature. God help us all. Stay strong. The feelings are intense but they do subside eventually. You are among friends as I also found Andrew's channel and this community recently. 🌷💖

This is me. I just cannot seem to remember how cruel and vicious these creatures are. In last 2 days I wrote down all his words and their implications for me and my children coming (astonishly, not) to the conclusion that he does not have our best interests at heart. How many more times do I need to experience this!? I struggle to let go and keep that door, windows and gate closed. Now I am implementing my actions and using all the tools I have.

@@moirabijker7117 I agree that it’s painful. I miss the good times and the groups he’s part of (none of them know the truth about his double life - he puts a lot of energy into acting normal around them, which must exhaust him). I miss the good parts and then I snap out of it and remember, wait, for any moments of pure joy or happiness I enjoyed with him, I paid for it in equal amounts of time in fear, confusion, sadness, anxiety, and humiliation. He pulled the rug out from under me on a regular basis. They’re emotional and physical vampires. Not worth it ever again.

Andrew this is why I love your channel and content and everyday in healing I see things more clearly and it is scary that as a smart person, I could have been fooled so much but then again I am the empath too, finding a balance is a process everyday and I'm getting stronger but there are good and bad days but I can finally stop blaming myself now, thank you for what you are doing, it is appreciated and it is nice knowing I am not the only one

After leaving a comment here, a song came into my mind from my past, as a 50's song. It was called I think or went like this: "Oh, Oh, Oh, 'YES, I'M THE GREAT PRETENDER!" Living a life that I'm NOT YOU SEE and wearing my face like a Clown! WOW I BELIEVE that back then, some were experiencing Narcissism, but trying to explain it to a song 🎵 🤔 Amazing 👏

VERY well said! When I left there was no longer any love left, so there was no difficulty whatsoever in my not looking back. And my mind is still reeling from learning about narcissistic abuse and am STILL learning...and that it's such a large community of abused people. Thank you for your level-headed presentation. And thank you for encouraging words to help others. Bless you.

Thank you, Andrew! Friends think I’m taking too long to “get over” my relationship with my ex-fiancé. It’s been 3 months (after 4 years of a very tumultuous time together). I have been reading a listening for the 3 months, and it’s still hard. 😢 I know he’s a narcissist and I know it was a very toxic situation (and he has blamed me saying I have problems, too). It’s getting easier, but I have a ways to go. 💔
