"It was like an addiction to the dopamine in neurochemicals and it was trauma bonding."
In this eye-opening episode of N.A.R.C. Troopers, Prajinta Pesqueda tackles the pervasive issue of misinformation surrounding narcissistic abuse. Often trivialised by pop culture, narcissism is a serious mental disorder with devastating effects on victims. Prajinta shares her personal journey through a 15-year marriage to a covert somatic narcissist, highlighting the complex and often misunderstood nature of this abuse.
From the initial stages of gaslighting and manipulation to the harrowing experience of panic attacks and PTSD, her story is both heart-wrenching and enlightening. You'll hear about the challenges victims face when seeking help, as well-intentioned friends and family often lack the proper knowledge to offer meaningful support. Prajinta discusses the urgent need for specialised training for mental health professionals, law enforcement, and educators to properly address and support those recovering from narcissistic abuse.
She emphasises the importance of finding a community that truly understands your experience, whether through support groups or informed therapists. The episode also delves into the insidious nature of trauma bonding and how it leaves victims feeling isolated and misunderstood. Prajinta's mission is clear: to educate as many people as possible about the realities of narcissistic abuse, so no one has to endure the confusion and loneliness she experienced.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone affected by narcissistic abuse or those looking to understand and support loved ones better. Prajinta's candid storytelling and practical advice make it an invaluable resource on the road to recovery.
