No Contact Isn’t Trendy: The Truth About How Hard Cycle Breakers Fight for Toxic Parent Relationships

1d ago 15:43

MP3•Episode home

In this episode, therapist and boundaries coach Torie Wiksell (and fellow cycle breaker) exposes the myth of “no contact as a fad” and validates the years—sometimes decades—of exhausting effort cycle breakers pour into maintaining relationships with narcissistic or emotionally immature parents before making the heartbreaking decision to step back.

We’ll cover:

Why going no contact with a toxic parent is never taken lightly
The hidden grief and guilt cycle breakers face when boundaries still aren’t respected
How narcissistic parents weaponize the “estranged parent” narrative
What it really takes to break the cycle of dysfunction without losing yourself

If you’ve ever questioned whether you’ve “tried hard enough” with your toxic parent, this episode will give you the validation and relief you need.
