Dr. Ramani Durvasula - Healing From Narcissistic Abuse (A Revisit)

We’re bringing back this powerful and deeply validating conversation with Dr. Ramani Durvasala—an episode filled with timeless guidance for anyone navigating or healing from narcissistic relationships. In this episode, Robin sits down with Dr. Ramani, one of the world’s leading experts on narcissistic abuse, to explore what really happens inside these dynamics and what it takes to slowly reclaim your sense of self. Together, they unpack the traits of narcissism, the cycle of trauma bonding, and the confusing mix of hope, shame, and grief that can keep people feeling stuck. Dr. Ramani offers compassionate, practical tools for healing—radical acceptance, gentle detachment, reframing your story, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that were minimized or lost along the way. She also breaks down how to recognize the signs of narcissism, understand the emotional toll of gaslighting and manipulation, and begin the process of recovery with clarity and self-compassion. Whether you’re currently in a difficult dynamic, supporting someone who is, or continuing your own healing journey, this conversation offers a grounding perspective and guidance you can return to again and again.
