If This Sounds Familiar, You've Met a Narcissist
Season 2 / Episode 1
Ever walked away from an argument thinking, “Wait… am I actually the problem?” In this episode of My Ruby Slippers, we’re unpacking the classic phrases narcissists love to use to keep you confused, guilty, and off balance.
From “You’re too sensitive” and “I never said that” to “You’re lucky I stay,” we’ll break down what these lines really mean, how gaslighting scrambles your sense of reality, and why you’ve spent so long thinking you’re “too much” or “too broken.”
You’ll learn:
- How to spot common narcissist and gaslighter phrases
- Why you feel “crazy” in a crazy-making environment
- Simple ways to start trusting your own memory, feelings, and intuition again
- How depression picks up their lies and turns them into your inner voice
We’ll also connect this to Week 1 of my workbook, 20 Days Rising from Depression, where we work through the lies in your head—many of them planted by narcissistic abuse—and start practicing new truths.
If these phrases sound uncomfortably familiar, this episode is your reminder: you’re not crazy, you’re not the problem, and you are allowed to take your mind back.
