Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

Since Episode 69, The Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Podcast has been fearlessly deconstructing the patriarchal systems that silence, shrink, and shame. We go beyond surface conversations—unraveling taboos, challenging outdated norms, and opening doors to the topics so often labeled “off-limits.” Each episode invites you into bold, nuanced dialogue that validates lived experiences and empowers collective truth-telling. If you’re ready to explore the deeper layers and follow the questions others won’t ask, you’re in the right place. Let’s go down the rabbit hole—together.

Patriarchy isn’t about individual men being inherently evil or women being helpless. It is a social system intentionally created and enforced by men over generations to secure and protect their dominance. From childhood, men were conditioned to believe this hierarchy was natural and right, just as women were conditioned to comply, self-silence, and even police themselves and one another. This mutual conditioning made patriarchy feel normal, leaving it unchallenged for centuries. It was not until women began resisting, speaking out, and demanding equality that many men were even forced to see patriarchy for what it is. And even then, many chose to defend it because questioning it meant risking the comfort of unearned power. Recognizing that men are both products and active carriers of patriarchy does not absolve them of responsibility. Instead, it highlights the urgent need for both men and women to unlearn these harmful scripts together and to build relationships and communities grounded in mutual respect and equality.
