Autoimmune Disorders: The Hidden Impact of Narcissistic Abuse
So we have this chronic illness that we now have a label on, because you're suffering with things like pain, tiredness, and then we label that as fibromyalgia, and many people feel stuck with these diagnoses for the rest of their life.
Ever wondered if your physical pain could be linked to emotional trauma? In this episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast', Caroline Strawson unpacks the surprising connection between narcissistic abuse and autoimmune disorders like fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis. Drawing from both scientific evidence and personal experience, Caroline explains how our bodies sometimes use physical pain as a shield to protect us from emotional distress.
She shares insightful tips on reducing inflammation and managing symptoms, all while advocating for a deeper understanding of our internal protector parts. By recognizing these mechanisms, you can begin to heal from within, rather than relying solely on medication. Caroline also delves into her own journey, revealing how her mother's rheumatoid arthritis was likely tied to her traumatic past.
This episode is a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the root causes of their pain and embark on a path towards holistic healing.
