When Love Hurts: Inside I Love You, My Narcissist

In this episode of Beyond Mommy Dearest, host Noelani Pearl Hernandez sits down with Ali and Stefanie Schmahl, the producers behind the powerful upcoming film I Love You, My Narcissist. Together, they explore the emotional complexity of loving someone whose behavior is manipulative, controlling, and deeply harmful.

Allie and Stephanie share what inspired them to create the film and how their research into narcissistic dynamics led them to interview survivors and experts, including Dr. Ramani, one of the leading voices on narcissistic abuse. The film blends documentary insight with fictional storytelling to help audiences understand the patterns, confusion, and emotional impact that narcissistic relationships can create.

During the conversation, they discuss the subtle warning signs of narcissistic abuse, why survivors often struggle to leave, and how manipulation, gaslighting, and power dynamics slowly erode a person’s sense of self. They also highlight why it’s important to challenge the myths surrounding survivors and recognize that narcissistic abuse can happen to anyone.

This episode is a powerful reminder that survivors are not weak, that narcissistic abuse is often misunderstood, and that conversations like these help people finally put language to experiences they may have carried silently for years.

This Is Not In Your Head: The Neuroscience of Narcissistic Abuse

In this deeply validating and eye-opening episode, Noelani Pearl Hernandez sits down with Meghan Woods, Licensed MFT, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional II, and Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician, for a powerful conversation about the long-term impact of narcissistic abuse on the brain, nervous system, body, and identity.

Together, they unpack why survivors often struggle to trust themselves, how gaslighting rewires the brain, and why narcissistic abuse is so much more than “just emotional abuse.” Meghan explains how trauma bonds mimic addiction through neurochemicals like dopamine, oxytocin, cortisol, and adrenaline, leaving survivors trapped in cycles of confusion, hypervigilance, dissociation, and self-doubt.

This episode explores:

Why survivors often think they are the narcissist
How narcissistic abuse impacts the nervous system
Trauma bonds and the addiction-like cycle of abuse
Hypervigilance, dissociation, doomscrolling, and nervous system shutdown
The connection between trauma, autoimmune disease, shingles, stress, and chronic illness
Why healing is not linear
The difference between talking about trauma and actually processing it
EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS) explained in accessible language
Why boundaries and no-contact can feel terrifying
How unresolved childhood trauma shows up in adult romantic relationships
The importance of rebuilding self-trust and listening to your gut
Healthy communication, nervous system regulation, and “take a break” techniques for couples
Why narcissistic abuse survivors are not weak, broken, or “too sensitive”

“This is not in your head. This is physiological. This is neurological. This is psychological.”

The Hidden Connections Between Cult Leaders and Narcissistic Mothers and the similar playbook they use

Saison 1

samedi 16 mai 2026 • Durée 01:05:21

Reach out! You don't have to explain how crazy she was. We believe you!!!

What do cult leaders and narcissistic mothers have in common?

More than most people realize.

In this gripping episode of Beyond Mommy Dearest, Noelani sits down with Mark Vicente for a powerful conversation about narcissistic abuse, coercive control, cult psychology, trauma bonds, and the shocking similarities between cult leaders and narcissistic family systems.

Mark shares how his experience inside a manipulative organization led him to become obsessed with understanding narcissism and emotional control. What began as a search for answers eventually became the foundation for The Narcissist Playbook, where he interviewed self-confessed narcissists in an attempt to finally understand the mindset behind manipulation, gaslighting, shame, and coercive control.

Noelani and Mark unpack the eerie parallels between cult leaders and narcissistic mothers, including:

Love bombing and emotional conditioning
Data mining and psychological manipulation
Trauma bonding and control
Gaslighting and self-doubt
Shame as a weapon
Idealism and exploitation
Why survivors blame themselves
Why narcissists target empathetic people
The connection between cults and family systems
Healing from narcissistic abuse
Learning to trust yourself again
Why boundaries are essential for survival

They also discuss the emotional aftermath of leaving manipulative systems, the grief that comes with realizing you were psychologically controlled, and how healing often requires rebuilding your relationship with yourself from the ground up.

This episode is validating, emotional, eye-opening, and deeply important for anyone recovering from narcissistic abuse, toxic family dynamics, coercive control, or cult-like relationships.

If you’ve ever asked yourself: “How did I not see it?” “Why do narcissists all operate the same way?” “Why do I still feel trapped emotionally?” “Why does this feel so similar to a cult?”

Coercive Control, Narcissism & Trauma Bonds: How Emotional Abuse Rewires Your Reality

Saison 1 · Épisode 17

vendredi 15 mai 2026 • Durée 01:02:52

Reach out! You don't have to explain how crazy she was. We believe you!!!

What happens when love, manipulation, control, and confusion all exist in the same relationship?

In this deeply validating episode of Beyond Mommy Dearest, Noelani sits down with counselor and criminologist Shalina Lodhia to unpack the hidden realities of narcissism, coercive control, intergenerational trauma, and emotional abuse. Together, they explore how subtle manipulation slowly erodes self-trust, why survivors often blame themselves, and how the body keeps score long after the abuse begins.

Shalina shares how her own lived experience witnessing domestic violence and coercive control in her South Asian community led her into counseling and advocacy work. The conversation dives into trauma bonds, gaslighting, narcissistic family systems, emotional invalidation, and the exhausting cognitive dissonance survivors experience when kindness and cruelty coexist in the same relationship.

This episode also explores:

The connection between narcissism and coercive control
Why survivors constantly question themselves
The subtle signs of emotional abuse most people miss
How trauma shows up physically in the body
Why self-blame becomes a survival mechanism
The difference between healthy conflict and manipulation
The long-term effects of chronic emotional stress
Why narcissists rarely seek therapy
How to begin rebuilding self-trust after abuse
The importance of journaling and external anchors
Why healing starts with internal validation

We discuss cultural silence around abuse in Filipino, South Asian, and immigrant communities, and why these conversations are critical for breaking intergenerational cycles.

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering:
“Is it me?”
“Am I overreacting?”
“Why do I feel anxious all the time around this person?”

When Your Own Family Betrays You: The Breaking Point That Leads to No Contact

Saison 1 · Épisode 14

vendredi 1 mai 2026 • Durée 01:18:57

Reach out! You don't have to explain how crazy she was. We believe you!!!

When Your Own Family Betrays You: The Breaking Point That Leads to No Contact

In this episode, we’re talking about the kind of betrayal that changes everything.

Joy shares the moment she uprooted her life to take care of her family… only to be discarded without warning. No conversation. No accountability. Just a notice on her door giving her 30 days to leave.

This isn’t just about conflict.

This is about calculated harm, control, and the reality of what happens when narcissistic family dynamics reach a breaking point.

We also dive into:
• What it feels like to be used and then discarded
• The guilt of being “the only one left” to take care of your parents
• How narcissistic parents rewrite reality to justify their behavior
• The moment clarity hits and you finally say, “I’m done”
• What it takes to start healing after deep betrayal

This episode is raw, honest, and validating for anyone who has ever questioned their reality or stayed too long out of guilt.

Key Takeaways:

Betrayal from family hits differently, especially when you’ve been conditioned to stay
Narcissistic dynamics often involve control, tracking, and rewriting the narrative
Guilt is one of the biggest barriers to going no contact
You are not responsible for sacrificing your life to take care of people who harm you
Walking away is not weakness, it’s clarity

🎙️ Let’s Get Your Shift Together: Healing from Narcissistic Abuse & Rebuilding Self-Trust

In this episode, we’re talking with Adriana Bucci about the kind of shift that actually changes your life, not the surface-level “just think positive” kind, but the deep, nervous-system, identity-level shift that happens when you start untangling from narcissistic conditioning.

Because let’s be honest…
when you were raised by a narcissistic mother, your “normal” was never actually normal.

💥 What We Get Into:

Why healing isn’t about becoming someone new, it’s about coming back to who you were before survival took over
How narcissistic conditioning shapes your thoughts, reactions, and sense of self
The difference between coping mechanisms and true healing
Why awareness alone isn’t enough and what actually creates change
The subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways your nervous system keeps you stuck
What it looks like to shift from survival mode into self-trust

🧠 Key Truths From This Episode:

Your patterns are not personality flaws, they are adaptations
You don’t need to fix yourself, you need to understand yourself
Healing is not linear, but it is possible
You are allowed to outgrow roles you were forced into
The shift happens when you stop abandoning yourself

🔥 A Moment That Hits:

There’s a point where you realize…
it wasn’t you.

And everything starts to change after that.

How Narcissistic Mothers Create Anxiety, Perfectionism, and the Fear of Going No Contact with Kirsten Cheong

Saison 1 · Épisode 11

vendredi 10 avril 2026 • Durée 01:17:56

Reach out! You don't have to explain how crazy she was. We believe you!!!

In this episode, Noelani sits down with therapist Kirsten Cheong, LMFT, Certified Narcissistic Abuse Treatment Clinician, for a grounded and validating conversation about what it really means to grow up with a narcissistic or emotionally immature parent. They explore how anxiety, perfectionism, fawning, hypervigilance, and overthinking often trace back to childhood environments where safety depended on reading the room, staying small, and keeping a parent regulated.

Kirsten shares how her early clinical work with adults in addiction treatment and children in foster care helped her see the long-term throughline of trauma, especially the way childhood emotional abuse often shows up later as relationship anxiety, people-pleasing, and internalized fear. She explains why many high-functioning adults look calm on the outside while internally spiraling, and how that pattern can be a survival strategy rooted in narcissistic family systems.

Together, Noelani and Kirsten talk about fawning as a nervous system response, the impact of walking on eggshells, the way narcissistic parents block healthy individuation, and how survivors often struggle with authenticity because they were never allowed to safely become themselves. They also discuss the “introjected parent,” that harsh internal voice that keeps policing behavior long after the parent is no longer present.

The conversation also goes deep into no contact. Kirsten shares why she created her guide for cycle breakers considering no contact with family, especially for those carrying guilt, shame, and cultural conditioning around being a “good daughter” or “good son.” Both Noelani and Kirsten are clear that no contact is a personal choice, not a mandate, but they name how life-changing it can be for people leaving abusive family systems.

They also talk honestly about the limits of AI in healing work, the importance of finding a therapist who truly understands narcissistic abuse, and why feeling cared for in a therapeutic relationship matters so much for survivors.
