Podcast: Narcissist Apocalypse: Patterns of AbusePublished On: Mon Jun 08 2026
Description: In this debrief episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon breaks down the patterns in Tommy’s story, including family scapegoating, public humiliation, body shaming, circular conversations, and the loss of safety inside the home. Tommy grew up with a father who needed control over the family image, the household rules, and the people around him. As Tommy got older, he became the target of criticism, shame, intimidation, and impossible expectations. In this debrief, Brandon explores how humiliation can be used as a control tactic, how a child can learn to disappear in order to survive, the fear of asking for help, and how reality control can make someone doubt their own reactions.
