In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, we debrief Saarah’s story and explore how the abuser presented control as her choice and used therapy language to make her believe she was the problem. We discuss the pressure to give up opportunities to manage his insecurities, how he controlled what could be discussed in couples therapy, and how accusations about her reactions diverted attention from his behavior. We also examine how fear of abandonment, hope tied to the beginning, and pressure to prove she had tried everything kept Saarah in the relationship.
