And I actually told him I said, listen, you know, I appreciate this, you know our friendship that we've started so far. Like my friend of mine, Lori Lara always talks about, you have to walk away.
Christy Johnson spent 18 years in a marriage that was anything but loving. In this episode of 'Genuine Life Recovery', Jodie Stevens sits down with Christy to talk about her harrowing experience with narcissistic abuse. Christy opens up about the confusion and manipulation she endured, including gaslighting, where her abuser twisted reality to make her doubt her own sanity. This conversation isn't just about the pain, though; it's about the healing process and reclaiming one's identity.
Jodie and Christy dive into what it means to recognize unsafe people and the importance of setting firm boundaries. They discuss how abusers often play the victim, making it even harder for the real victims to see through the facade. Christy shares how she finally found the strength to leave her abusive marriage and the role her faith played in her recovery.
The episode sheds light on the power dynamics in toxic relationships and emphasizes the necessity of a supportive community during the recovery process. Christy's story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible, and finding self-worth after years of emotional abuse is achievable. If you're dealing with similar struggles or know someone who is, this episode offers both hope and practical advice on how to break free from the chains of narcissistic abuse.
