About this listen

In this raw and powerful episode of That’s Not Okay, Alyssa exposes the hidden wounds of invisible abuse—the kind that leaves no bruises but tears apart your identity. From stonewalling and gaslighting to passive aggression and DARVO, we unpack how psychological manipulation shows up in relationships and why it’s just as damaging as physical abuse.


Alyssa shares personal insights, real-life dynamics, and hard truths about enmeshment, avoidance, emotional immaturity, and covert narcissism. Whether you’ve questioned your reality, felt blamed for someone else’s behavior, or doubted your own needs—you are not crazy. You’re likely in the aftermath of invisible abuse.


This episode is for anyone who’s been silenced, confused, or emotionally dismantled and needs to hear, “You’re not the problem. You’re not alone. And it’s not okay.”


If this episode hit home, please share it with someone who needs to hear that they’re not imagining things. Follow That’s Not Okay for more truth-telling, clarity, and healing—and let’s reclaim our love lives, together.
