In this rerelease episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Spoon shares her story of childhood trauma, grooming, sexual assault, addiction, abusive relationships, and the long process of discovering who she was underneath everything she had been taught to become. Spoon discusses how growing up feeling responsible for other people’s emotions left her vulnerable to a predator who began grooming her at 13, and how that experience influenced her ideas about sex, love, relationships, and what it meant to be a woman. She also examines her years in modeling, addiction, her struggle with self-worth, and the relationship that finally forced her to recognize how often she had abandoned her own needs to keep someone else. Through recovery, Spoon began questioning the stories she had been given, slowing relationships down, paying attention to actions instead of words, and building an identity based on what she actually values. It's a story of narcissistic abuse, grooming, child sexual abuse, sexual assault, generational trauma, abuse cycles, emotional abuse, abusive relationships, coercive control, manipulation, emotional neglect, parentification, walking on eggshells, people pleasing, low self worth, loss of identity, trauma bonds, addiction, boundaries, and healing from abuse. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses child sexual assault and a graphic description of suicidal ideation. *** If you are in search of therapy from professionals dedicated to dealing with TRAUMA - Narcissist Apocalypse recommends REBOUND THERAPY and they can be reached at hellorebound.com/na Click if you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please send us an email at [email protected] Click on the title to read about Coercive Control as Care: Signs & Patterns Sign up to our Domestic Violence Newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
