See this content in the original post

Brains, narcissism, and that pesky ex

Dr. Rhonda Freeman, after experiencing a relationship with a psychopath in the past and trouble healing from it, used her background in neuroscience and neuropsychology to develop a framework for helping other survivors of narcissistic abuse. She founded Neuroinstincts® and started teaching online courses to help others understand the brain reactions of people involved in traumatic relationships.

Throughout this episode Dr. Freeman addresses the following topics:

  1. What goes on in your brain when you’re in an unhealthy relationship and why/how we stay stuck in unhealthy connections.

  2. What society as a whole gets wrong about psycho- or sociopathic abuse.

  3. Whether or not there’s a certain neurology behind gaslighting or other abusive behaviors.

  4. Over self-diagnosis of narcissistic or codependent patterns.

  5. What you need to know about recovering from an unhealthy relationship and why you can still feel attachment and longing for someone who treated you poorly.

  6. How to heal from toxic relationships so you’re not bringing toxicity into future relationships.
