Summary

Have you ever felt like you were in a toxic relationship but couldn't escape? Do you feel like you're in a situation you can't see a way out of? How can understanding manipulation enhance your mental health? In this week's episode I share part 2 of my story of breaking free from an abusive marriage. This is a story of strength and resilience, and learning to trust myself and my intuition for my mental health. I teach through how to take back our power in the face of manipulative, abusive, and narcissistic relationships. This episode provides an in-depth look at the mechanics of manipulation and its impact on Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs).

Nikki Eisenhauer guides listeners through her own stories of overcoming abuse, offering hope and strategies for those feeling trapped in similar situations.

0:00.0	Hello, welcome to Emotional Badass where Moxie meets mindful. I'm your host, Nikki Eisenhower,
0:06.0	Life Coach and Psychotherapist. And on today's episode, I'm sharing a story about breaking
0:12.3	free from manipulation and abuse. Part 2. Hello, y'all. This is one of my most vulnerable
0:39.4	stories that I've never shared before now. If you haven't already, please stop here
0:45.4	and go listen to last week's part 1 before this one. And I want to thank you for holding
0:54.2	space for my story because it's not just my story. In some ways, my story is the same as

1:07.2	DNA to learn from the passing on of stories, from the connection with each other of deep,

2:09.6	and was on the grass speeding toward me. It all happened in a fraction of a second and
2:15.4	somehow over minutes too. And that's the brain having a traumatic response in real
2:21.9	time, adrenaline pumping, both slowing and speeding up, which is impossible and yet accurate
2:29.6	in moments of high, high stress and fear. Somehow I heard my name.
2:37.2	Nikki, Nikki, wait, wait. I was out of shape back then, y'all. I was about 30 pounds heavier
2:44.0	than I am now. I was still smoking cigarettes at that time and I just couldn't run far.
2:51.1	I was trying. But I heard a familiar voice that registered as not my abuser, as not
