Best episodes of The Relationship Recovery Podcast

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

Is It Narcissistic Abuse? How to Know

A plainspoken look at narcissistic abuse and the language around it.

How Divorce Affects Kids: Addressing Parental Fears and Supporting Your Children

A calm, practical look at what children need when parents separate.

Why we Stay too Long in Unhealthy Relationships

A plainspoken, patient look at why unhealthy relationships can feel harder to leave than they should.

The episode treats why people stay in unhealthy relationships as a habit of thought, not a puzzle to solve from a distance. Kirsten Franklin and Tiffany Denny move through the familiar pull of fear, low self-esteem, and the comfort of what is known.
