In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon breaks down the key themes in Tegan’s story, including early shame, love bombing, sexual coercion, emotional debt, and post-separation control. Brandon explores how fear, obligation, guilt, and shame worked together in Tegan’s story. He discusses how sexual coercion can happen through guilt and pressure, how “I helped you when you were low” can become emotional debt, and how leaving does not always end control when someone still has access through calls, fake numbers, shared bills, social media, work proximity, and other people.
