Episode Description from the Publisher

In this debrief episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon debriefs Cassandra’s story and the pressures that kept her in a volatile marriage. Her move took her far from family, her husband interfered with new friendships, and his rage kept the household focused on his moods. At church and work, people saw a man Cassandra struggled to reconcile with the one she knew at home. Brandon examines how gaslighting made Cassandra question her memory, why shame about another divorce made leaving harder, and how brief periods of peace renewed her hope. CONTENT WARNING - This episode briefly discusses physical abuse. This episode is sponsored by Rebound Health.
