Introduction
Hosted by psychiatric nurse practitioner Jon Murphy, this podcast is for anyone waking up to the truth about dysfunctional families, manipulative partners, and emotionally unsafe groups.
We’re not here to sugarcoat.
We’re here to break patterns, build language, and name the dynamics no one else would.
You’re not overreacting. You’re recovering.
New episodes drop regularly.
Start from Episode 1 — It Was Never Safe — and work forward at your own pace.
