Unlearn with Louisa, toxic relationships.

Send us Fan Mail A relationship that starts like magic can end up feeling like withdrawal. Megan’s first guest, relationship coach Louisa, gets brutally honest about the mechanics of trauma bonding and why narcissistic dynamics can be so hard to spot when you’re inside them. We talk about the seduction of love bombing, the confusion of “same person, different font” dating patterns, and the moment when the person who comforts you also becomes the person who hurts you. Louisa shares her own story of getting sober at 22 after a trauma bond, and how recovery forced her to rebuild self-worth without reaching for anything to numb the pain. We unpack what it means to rewrite the story you carry after narcissistic abuse, how long it can take to trust yourself again, and why validating what happened matters even when the harm lives in a grey area. If you’re searching for narcissistic abuse recovery tools, support after a breakup, or guidance for dating after a toxic relationship, you’ll hear language that makes the chaos make sense. We also define gaslighting in a way you can actually use: not just denial, but reality flipped back onto you until you’re apologising for their behaviour. From there we zoom out into healing attachment patterns, calming a hypervigilant nervous system, and learning why emotionally safe partners can feel “boring” when your system is trained for intensity. The big takeaway: being single isn’t a consequence, it can be the foundation of a life so good that only the right partner fits. If this hit home, share it with a mate who needs it, subscribe so you don’t miss what’s next, and leave a review to help more people find the show.

A relationship that starts like magic can end up feeling like withdrawal. Megan’s first guest, relationship coach Louisa, gets brutally honest about the mechanics of trauma bonding and why narcissistic dynamics can be so hard to spot when you’re inside them. We talk about the seduction of love bombing, the confusion of “same person, different font” dating patterns, and the moment when the person who comforts you also becomes the person who hurts you. 

Louisa shares her own story of getting sober at 22 after a trauma bond, and how recovery forced her to rebuild self-worth without reaching for anything to numb the pain. We unpack what it means to rewrite the story you carry after narcissistic abuse, how long it can take to trust yourself again, and why validating what happened matters even when the harm lives in a grey area. If you’re searching for narcissistic abuse recovery tools, support after a breakup, or guidance for dating after a toxic relationship, you’ll hear language that makes the chaos make sense. 

We also define gaslighting in a way you can actually use: not just denial, but reality flipped back onto you until you’re apologising for their behaviour. From there we zoom out into healing attachment patterns, calming a hypervigilant nervous system, and learning why emotionally safe partners can feel “boring” when your system is trained for intensity. The big takeaway: being single isn’t a consequence, it can be the foundation of a life so good that only the right partner fits.
