In this episode, Dana Diaz, author of 'Gasping for Air: The
Stranglehold of Narcissistic Abuse,' shares her personal journey of overcoming
the challenges of being raised by a narcissistic stepfather and enduring a
25-year marriage to a different kind of narcissist. Diaz discusses her early
resolution to never have children due to fear of becoming like her parents and
the eventual realization and liberation she found in escaping her abusive
circumstances, including the freeing yet peace-bringing decision to love and
prioritize herself. The episode also delves into Dana’s experiences of physical
and emotional abuse, how it impacted her health, and her process of writing as
a form of therapy and empowerment. Furthermore, Dana offers insights into the
dynamics of narcissistic relationships, the importance of understanding one's
self-worth, and how envisioning a new life can be the first step towards
recovery and happiness. The discussion also explores the challenges of
co-parenting with a narcissist and the significance of having a supportive
environment in healing and moving forward.
