Dimming The Gaslight: Our Healing Journey From Narcissistic Abuse

Mac is a male survivor of narcissistic abuse who started this podcast while actively going through a divorce from a narcissistic spouse. That real-time element sets the show apart from nearly everything else in the narcissism podcast space. You are not hearing from someone looking back on what happened years ago with the benefit of distance and perspective. You are hearing from someone in the middle of custody battles, court appearances, and the daily grind of separating from someone who does not want to let go. Phil, who previously hosted the Surviving The Covert Narcissist podcast, co-hosts and brings his own experience and insights to the conversation. Episodes run long -- typically one to two hours -- and feature a steady stream of survivor guests sharing their stories alongside mental health professionals offering clinical context. With 185 episodes published on a semiweekly schedule, the archive is substantial. Recent topics include religious narcissism, real-time escape scenarios, and the specific challenges of the family court system when dealing with a narcissistic ex. The show has a 4.7 rating from 78 reviews and maintains an active Discord community. The male survivor perspective is particularly valuable because men dealing with narcissistic abuse from female partners face unique challenges around credibility and support. Mac does not shy away from the messiness of his own situation, and that honesty makes the show feel raw and trustworthy in equal measure. If you are going through a difficult separation right now and need to hear from someone who genuinely gets the chaos of it, this podcast meets you there.
