Episode Overview
- Trauma bonding creates a strong emotional attachment to the abuser.
- Narcissistic abuse severely damages your ability to trust others and yourself.
- Chronic stress from abuse can lead to various physical health issues.
- Isolation becomes a coping mechanism due to fear of triggers.
- Rumination keeps you stuck in the past, seeking closure.
Trauma bonding happens because of the hot and cold nature and behaviour of the narcissist; it's like a bond of Herculean strength.
Surviving narcissistic abuse can leave you with a unique set of trauma responses. In this episode, Danish Bashir, a certified clinical trauma specialist, dives into the five signs that indicate you might be struggling with post-narcissistic abuse trauma. Danish breaks down these signs with a blend of personal anecdotes and professional insights, making it relatable and informative. He starts by explaining trauma bonding and cognitive dissonance, where you're torn between the narcissist's good and bad sides, creating emotional confusion.
Danish then highlights the deep betrayal experienced in narcissistic abuse, which shatters your ability to trust others and even yourself. He also discusses the psychosomatic issues that manifest physically, such as gut problems and autoimmune disorders, all stemming from the constant stress of living with a narcissist. Isolation is another sign; you might find yourself avoiding social situations because the narcissist has disconnected you from your emotions and joy.
Finally, Danish talks about rumination, where you constantly replay traumatic events in your mind, seeking closure but feeling stuck. This episode is a must-listen for anyone dealing with the aftermath of narcissistic abuse, offering validation and practical advice on recognising and addressing these trauma responses. Are you ready to understand your pain better and take steps towards healing?
