You finally left. The narcissist is no longer in your life — but the emotional chaos still is.
In this powerful episode of Real Talk: Divorce, Life & Everything In-Between, hosts Lorene Roberts (Holistic Counsellor & Root-Cause Therapist) and Richard Morden (Divorce Coach & Emotional Resilience Practitioner) dive deep into the often-overlooked fallout of narcissistic relationships — what happens after the breakup, when the gaslighting stops but the self-doubt lingers.
Because here’s the truth: just leaving isn’t the finish line.
It’s the start of your healing journey — and it can feel overwhelming, lonely, and confusing.
🎙️ In this episode, we talk about:
- What really happens after the narcissist is gone (hint: the damage doesn’t just disappear)
- Why so many survivors struggle with identity loss, emotional flashbacks, and self-blame
- How narcissists condition you to doubt yourself — even long after they’re out of your life
- The practical and emotional fallout: finances, friendships, family fractures
- The grief no one talks about — including mourning the person you thought they were
- And why it’s totally normal to feel broken — but you’re not
🛠️ We also explore solutions like:
- How to gently reclaim your sense of self
- Using therapy, journaling, and trauma-informed tools to reconnect with your worth
- Ways to rebuild trust — in yourself and in others
- Simple steps for nervous system regulation when your world feels unsafe
- The importance of community, boundaries, and compassion during recovery
💬 Real Talk Moments: Lorene and Richard share personal experiences, mistakes made, lessons learned, and the things they wish someone had told them during the aftermath. It’s raw, real, and filled with hard-earned wisdom.
If you’ve ever asked yourself: “Why do I still feel like this?”
This episode is for you.
You’re not alone.
You’re not crazy.
And you’re not broken — you’re healing.
