Your Traitor Within: If Only I'd Known...

Описание: In this episode of Your Traitor Within, Jessica Anne Pressler, LCSW sits down with psychotherapist, author, and narcissistic abuse expert Chelsey Brooke Cole for a deeply honest conversation about how childhood wounds, trauma bonds, and the Traitor Within can keep people stuck in toxic relationships.


Chelsey shares her personal story of growing up with a narcissistic father, how those early patterns shaped her adult relationships, and what it was like to survive not one but two narcissistic marriages. Together, Jessica and Chelsey talk about betrayal blindness, shame, trauma bonding, vulnerable versus grandiose narcissism, and the painful reality that even therapists can miss what is happening when they are living inside it.


They also explore what healing actually looks like, how survivors can begin rebuilding self-trust, and why resilience, recovery, and hope are possible.


Chelsey Brooke Cole is a licensed psychotherapist, certified partner trauma therapist, and bestselling author of If Only I’d Known: How to Outsmart Narcissists, Set Guilt-Free Boundaries, and Create Unshakeable Self-Worth. She specializes in narcissistic abuse, betrayal trauma, and complex trauma, and helps survivors heal through her work, writing, and community.
