What No One Tells You About Leaving a Toxic Relationship
Episode 72
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026
Leaving a toxic or narcissistic relationship is often seen as the finish line — but for many, it's only the beginning. This episode explores why just leaving isn't the end of abuse, and how power and control can continue after separation through legal systems, finances, communication, and parenting. It also looks at how instinctive survival strategies like disengagement and gray rocking often appear long before there's language to describe them. You'll learn why confusion and self-doubt after leaving are normal, how to recognize common forms of post-separation abuse, and what practical steps can help protect your peace and rebuild confidence. Whether you're still in the relationship, preparing to leave, or healing after separation, this conversation offers clarity, validation, and grounded tools for moving forward — one step at a time.
