Narcissistic Times with Richard Grannon

So... Narcissistic Abuse Doesn't Exist.

Richard Grannon

Today’s episode dives into a shocking real-life psychotherapy story that left me questioning everything I knew about therapy and recovery.

When I told a licensed psychotherapist that I was recovering from narcissistic abuse, she said:

“Narcissistic abuse doesn’t exist.”

That sentence hit like a punch to the gut — and it exposed something deeper about the therapy world, mental health education, and how survivors are often dismissed or misunderstood.

In this episode, I unpack:

- My personal psychotherapy horror story

- Why some therapists still deny narcissistic abuse

- How to tell if your therapist actually understands trauma

- What real healing looks like after narcissistic abuse

- Why, despite it all, I still believe in therapy

If you’ve struggled with trauma, therapy confusion, or emotional invalidation, this one’s for you.
