Breaking the Narcissist Cycle with Dr. Z
About this episode
This week on When Reality Hits, Brittany is joined by clinical psychologist and narcissism expert Dr. Jaime Zuckerman for one of her most vulnerable and powerful episodes yet. From love bombing and gaslighting to financial control and co-parenting with a narcissist, Dr. Z breaks down the manipulative patterns of narcissistic abuse—and how to heal from them. Brittany opens up about her very public divorce, the emotional toll behind the scenes, and how she's finally getting her sparkle back.
