Love Bombing, Gaslighting & The Red Flags You Can't Ignore with Vanessa Reiser
This week, Brittany is joined by licensed clinical psychotherapist, author, and survivor Vanessa Reiser for an essential conversation on narcissistic abuse, trauma bonding, and coercive control. Even with a clinical background, Vanessa found herself trapped in an emotionally abusive relationship—later running 285 miles across New York in a wedding dress to bring awareness to domestic abuse and future faking. Together, they unpack why toxic relationships mirror a "cult of one," how insidious red flags like love bombing, cyber gaslighting, and DARVO warp your intuition, the biochemical reasons leaving is so difficult, and practical steps for safely exiting and rebuilding your life on the other side.Please support the show by checking out our sponsors!Fabletics: Go to Fabletics.com/whenrealityhits for 70 to 80% off everything as a new VIP.
