Love-bombing serves as a brainwashing tool. If they ever do, catastrophic emotional, psychological and spiritual damage has been done.
Imagine being showered with love, gifts, and attention, only to find out it was all a trap. That's the harsh reality of love bombing, a tactic used by narcissistic abusers to lure their victims into toxic relationships. In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein breaks down how love bombing works and why it's so effective at ensnaring unsuspecting individuals.

The episode goes beyond just identifying the problem; it also offers hope and practical advice for those trying to break free.
Yitz shares insights on the recovery process, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the layers of deception and brainwashing involved.
