Episode Overview
- Trauma bonding creates an addiction-like attachment to the narcissist.
- Narcissistic abuse severely impacts your ability to trust others and yourself.

- Isolation becomes a common coping mechanism due to fear of triggers.
- Rumination keeps you trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and questioning.
"Trauma bonding happens because of the hot and cold nature and behaviour of the narcissist; it has been described as a bond of Herculean strength"
If you've ever felt like you're stuck in a never-ending cycle of confusion and pain after dealing with a narcissist, this episode is for you. Danish Bashir, a certified clinical trauma specialist, takes you through five signs that you might be suffering from post-narcissistic abuse stress disorder (PNASD). With his deep understanding of narcissistic abuse, Danish explains how this unique form of trauma manifests in ways that traditional PTSD criteria often overlook.
He dives into trauma bonding and cognitive dissonance, revealing how the narcissist's hot-and-cold behaviour creates an addiction-like bond that's hard to break. Danish also discusses the betrayal that shakes your ability to trust not only others but yourself as well. You'll learn about the psychosomatic issues that plague survivors, from gut problems to autoimmune disorders, and how your body is screaming for help even when your mind tries to downplay the pain.
Isolation becomes a coping mechanism, as crowds and even loved ones become triggers for anxiety and fear. Finally, Danish talks about rumination—those endless loops of questioning and self-doubt that keep you trapped in the past. By recognising these signs, you can start to understand your experiences better and take steps towards healing. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to reclaim their life from the clutches of narcissistic abuse.
