Thank you for checking out my podcasts! They cover the same topics as my writing (Christianity, abuse recovery, mental health, Narcissistic Personality Disorder, etc.) and everything is from a Christian perspective. Some topics are repeated, because sharing new information and perspectives from a different angle can make it "click" sometimes where it didn't before. I try to add podcasts often, but due to my health struggles, they won't be added consistently. I apologize and I'm trying! Transcripts, articles, books and more are available on my website: https://www.CynthiaBaileyRug.com

"Good kids" are often made this way as a survival skill due to suffering at the hands of their narcissistic parents.
