Breaking Free from the 'Crazy' Label: Emily Laing's Poetic Take on Narcissistic Abuse

And soon they arrived: the ghosts of stories you've heard, conjured and herded from the outer reaches of purgatory, the ones you believed were deranged because of the dinner table gossip that made you laugh and say they're crazy and they seem to chant in terrible chorus.
Ever felt dismissed or labeled as 'crazy'? Emily Laing gets it. In this gripping episode, she shares a powerful poem about the insidious nature of narcissistic abuse and its impact on women's lives. Emily draws from her own experiences, revealing how these harmful labels can strip away one's identity and leave them feeling isolated. Her raw and honest discussion sheds light on manipulation tactics often used by abusers and the profound effects they have on mental health.
This episode isn't just about highlighting the problem; it's about sparking a conversation on healing and recovery. Emily encourages survivors to recognize the signs of abuse and to understand that they are not alone in their journey. With her poetic storytelling, she creates a safe space for reflection and offers hope to those seeking to reclaim their lives. Whether you've faced similar challenges or want to support someone who has, this episode is a must-listen.
It’s a poignant reminder of the strength found in vulnerability and the power of breaking free from damaging labels.
