On this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, we talk with a survivor named Raina, and Raina was in a 10-year toxic relationship that had her wondering who she was anymore.

It's a story of holding on to hope, pedestals, cancer survival, and breaking the trauma bond for good. Welcome to Narcissist Apocalypse, a podcast that gives a voice to survivors of toxic relationships.

I am Brandon Chadwick, but my friends call me Chad.

And thanks for tuning into this episode.

So what is a narcissist, you may ask?

Well, for the purposes of this podcast, we refer to a narcissist as anyone who has displayed

a pattern of behavior that shows a limited capacity to appreciate others' perspectives.

It is that simple.
