Summary

Have you ever heard your partner say, "Don't worry, I'll handle everything and put it in my name," or "Just let me know if you need anything"? While these phrases might seem like generosity, they can actually be signs of financial abuse. In this episode, I’ll explore covert financial abuse and how narcissists use it to gain control, leaving you with little financial independence and making it hard to leave the relationship. But fear not, I'll guide you on reclaiming your financial independence and safely exiting the relationship.

What you will learn in this episode:

How narcissists hide their control behind generosity.
Why so many people suffer from covert financial abuse without noticing.
How to become financially independent and safely leave a narcissist.

I’ll share a story about a woman I once helped. She left her partner after enduring years of financial abuse, where nothing, not even her phone number, was in her name. She couldn't even get a phone in her own name due to her lack of credit history, as everything financial was tied to her partner. Tune in to discover how you can regain control of your finances and prevent a situation like this. It's important to know that healing from this form of narcissistic abuse is possible.

1:02.5	hope that each and every podcast that you listen to, you will take away some hope, some inspiration,

1:13.3	I really want to showcase to you that there is hope and light and post-traumatic growth
1:19.4	after post-traumatic stress of narcissistic abuse. Now apologies if my sound sounds a little
1:26.7	bit off this week, although I'm sure my
1:28.5	amazing podcast editor will have a little tweak around with it. But I'm actually recording this
1:33.2	down in London this week. So I got back from my holiday from Crete yesterday, of which I had
1:39.0	an amazing time because I really invested in myself, although I was on holiday with my family.
1:44.4	I actually invested in a little holistic detox package.
1:48.1	If you've been following me over on Instagram,
1:49.9	I've been sharing in my stories,
1:51.8	some of the treatments that I have been having
1:53.6	and they have ranged from colonic irrigations
1:56.7	to massages, to facials, to vitamin infusions, to personal training sessions where I found
2:03.8	muscles I'd forgotten I even had even. But it was a really great week around the 10 days that
