The 3-Stage System Narcissists Use to Pick Their Target

Have you ever looked back and thought, “He saw exactly what I needed… and used it against me”? That gut feeling isn’t paranoia – it’s accurate. In this episode, psychotherapist Chelsey Brooke Cole breaks down the dark psychology behind how narcissists and predators actually choose their targets, and the answer might surprise you: predators don’t go after the weak, they go after the warm.

They’re Always in Control: A Therapist’s 30-Year Study of Male Abusers

In this episode, Don Hennessy – former Clinical Director of Ireland’s National Domestic Violence Intervention Project and author of Steps to Freedom: Escaping Intimate Control – explains the mind of the abuser he calls the “psychophile”: a man who invades his partner’s thinking deliberately, then hides the intent behind chaos, charm, and blame.

Why You Saw the Red Flags… and Stayed Anyway (Betrayal Blindness Explained)

In this episode, we’re breaking down the psychology behind that question so you can finally understand why this happens – and start releasing the self-blame that comes with it.

You’ll learn about betrayal trauma, betrayal blindness, and the concept of betrayal violence- and how your brain may have been trying to protect you, not sabotage you.

              Wow, great podcast! Insightful, informative and Chelsey provides helpful steps to healing. It’s a relief to hear from someone who actually gets it, because she’s an expert in the field AND has lived through narcissistic abuse, too. I finally feel seen and understood. Thanks Chelsey, I’ll definitely be recommending this podcast!
