Debrief | Broken Boundaries & Betrayal in Charly’s Story

About this episode

This episode discusses the complexities of seeking help after abuse and the potential dangers of unsafe support systems.

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, we debrief Charly’s story and what can happen when someone seeks help after abuse and the person offering that help becomes unsafe too. We break down how healing language can exist without healing behavior, how trust issues can be weaponized against a survivor, how the fixer role can keep someone invested in a harmful relationship, and why unregulated recovery spaces need clear boundaries, ethics, and accountability.
