If you've ever been controlled by someone mentally or emotionally, then you know how crushing it is to your confidence, your self-esteem, and your belief in yourself. You question HOW this person convinced you to do or say or believe things that you KNOW deep down to your core are not true? WHAT did they do to get you to fall for the lies and change so much, without you even frikin’ realizing it? And HOW can you make sure it doesn’t happen to you again?? Well homie, the reality is that this type of manipulation happens more often than you might think, 1 on 1 in toxic relationships and sometimes even whole groups of people at a time in a cult. So in this episode of Women of Impact, I wanted to get to the bottom of how good, well-intentioned, educated, “normal” people like you and me can fall into the trap of a controlling person like a cult leader or narcissistic romantic partner, and literally leave behind their life, family, job, money, friends, belief system, sanity, and everything about themselves for this person. And whether it’s coz of a cult, a toxic partner, or a guy at work that keeps trying to convince you to join this “amazing self-help group”, if you think it “won’t happen to you” – well homie you’re actually that much more likely to become their next target and victim!!!! And that’s why today’s guest is none other than the ultimate cult expert and deprogrammer, Rick Alan Ross. This guy is an aboslute LEGEND when it comes to cults!! We go deep into: - the type of people who start cults. - how cults like NXIVM and Scientology bring people in. - what specifically makes a person more vulnerable to saying yes and “drinking the Kool-aid”. - strategies used by notorious cult leaders to gain control and brainwash people (and you’ll be surprised by what they have in common with your toxic ex!!!). - HOW you can actually avoid getting into a cult or toxic relationship in the first place. - & so much more!!! This episode is truly FILLED with the knowledge you NEED if you want to have any hope of spotting the cult leaders, con men, and toxic boyfriends BEFORE they can rope you, or anyone you love, into their manipulative world and cut you off from the life YOU want to live!!!

Narcissistic abuse has both physical and mental symptoms for the women that survive the toxicity of it all. Walking away is a victory unto itself, but issues like PTSD, depression and anxiety are things that persist long after the situation is over. Dr. Ramani Durvasula is one of the world’s leading experts on narcissism. She is the licensed clinical psychologist bringing awareness to millions of men and women who have experienced narcissistic partners. Dr. Ramani has a healing program for people going through narcisstic abuse. She exposes the lies and traps of narcissistic partners to help more women like you never go through being gaslit and mentally abused. The harsh truth is that there’s only one way to make a narcissistic relationship work which means, your silence and loss of self which leads to shutting down. Drowning your identity for the sake of peace with your narcissistic partner doesn’t mean you’ve found a way to make the relationship better either. Today we’re asking how do you show up in spite of narcissistic abuse? The psychological breakdown from being on constant high alert looks like gut health, inflammation, and sensitive social triggers that impact healthy low risk relationships. What can you do to be self-compassionate and escape a narcissist’s trap? Find a therapist that understands narcissistic abuse or who deals with trauma Identity safe people in your life that make you feel heard and seen Don’t minimize the severity of narcissistic psychological abuse just because it’s not physical abuse. “There’s a lot of psychologically abused who do not experience physical violence, but they experience daily, sometimes hourly psychological violence.” As Dr. Ramani points out, there are many kinds of trauma and relational trauma impacts the mind and body in horrifying ways and psychological violence steals the pathway to happiness, which is joy, and tanks quality of life. Dr. Ramani Narcissistic Truths to Remember: “Not everyone needs to be let in.” “The problem with survival is that it’s not the same as thriving and flourishing, those are two different agendas.” “Get the relational trauma off the table and you will love longer, [...] there is no cup of matcha green tea that is going to take this stuff away!” “Physical and mental health are not two separate entities, they work together.” “I would put toxic relationships up there with cigarettes in terms of the horrifying health impacts they have.” CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Shopify:  Sign up for a $1/month trial period at https://impacttheory.co/shopifyWOIseptpod  Factor Meals: Head to https://impacttheory.co/factorWOIsept24  and use code woi50 to get 50% off your first box plus 20% off your next month.
