The Mental Healness Podcast

I’m a diagnosed narcissist, and in this video I explain why a narcissistic person may send you songs after they hurt you, lie to you, cheat, rage, or give you the silent treatment. A song can be a way to pull on nostalgia, express emotion without taking accountability, test whether you are still emotionally available, or reopen the door after conflict. The message may feel deeply personal, but a playlist is not the same as changed behavior, a sincere apology, or repair. This is not an excuse for narcissistic abuse, it is a first-person perspective on emotional manipulation, hoovering, guilt, and control. Watch the pattern, protect your peace, and let consistent actions, not lyrics, tell you the truth.

What did a narcissist see in you in the first place? In this video, Lee Hammock explains why people with narcissistic traits may be drawn to empathy, loyalty, generosity, resilience, forgiveness, and a desire to see the best in others. These are not weaknesses, but without boundaries they can become qualities that a toxic person tries to exploit. Learn the difference between becoming closed off and becoming more discerning, so you can protect your peace without losing the parts of yourself that make you compassionate. A narcissist choosing you does not mean you caused the abuse or deserved it.

Ashleyjoins the Mental Healness Podcast to share how she survived two very different toxic marriages: one loud and overt, the other quiet, subtle, and much harder to recognize. After leaving a nearly decade-long relationship marked by control, betrayal, isolation, and emotional abuse, she remarried believing she knew every red flag, until covert manipulation appeared in a different form. Ashley and Lee Hammock discuss narcissistic abuse, love bombing, trauma patterns, co-parenting, childhood wounds, faith, healing, and why leaving one toxic relationship does not automatically mean you have processed what it taught you. Her story is a reminder that taking responsibility for your healing is not the same as taking responsibility for someone else’s abuse. Follow Ashley and her ministry, Commentary of Redemption, below

I’m a diagnosed narcissist, and in this video I explain why many narcissistic people know when they are manipulating, lying, withholding affection, shifting blame, or causing emotional harm. Awareness does not equal accountability, and knowing better does not automatically mean someone will choose to behave better. This is not an excuse for narcissistic abuse it is a first-person perspective on self-awareness, entitlement, control, and the work required to change harmful patterns. If someone repeatedly hurts you and then claims they “didn’t know,” pay attention to their actions, not just their apologies. Healing may require boundaries, distance, and support that centers your safety.

In this Mental Healness Podcast interview, Nina shares her story of surviving a 31-year emotionally destructive and volatile marriage while feeling financially trapped as a long-term stay-at-home wife. After calling police for protection, she says she experienced retaliation, isolation, a smear campaign, and rejection from people she expected to support her.

Lee Hammock and Nina discuss narcissistic abuse, coercive control, financial abuse, trauma bonds, silent treatment, scapegoating, and why leaving an abusive relationship is not always as simple as “just leave.” This conversation is for survivors over 50, stay-at-home parents, and anyone rebuilding their identity while navigating a toxic relationship.
