We can reverse all of that by getting your system to know that you are now safe. But that's come from perception of your past wounds your childhood, and this doesn't mean just people who've had a really abusive, neglectful childhood.
Caroline Strawson, a best-selling author and award-winning Trauma Therapist & Coach, takes you on a journey through the effects of narcissistic abuse on the brain in this episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast'. Have you ever wondered how abusive relationships impact your brain? Caroline breaks it down for you, explaining how specific brain regions like the amygdala and hippocampus are affected. You'll learn about the emotional brain, or limbic system, and how it reacts to trauma.
The amygdala becomes hypervigilant, constantly on the lookout for danger, while the hippocampus, responsible for memory, shrinks and makes us forgetful. But here's the good news: Caroline assures us that this damage isn't permanent. By understanding and working with our past wounds, we can begin to heal. This episode isn't just about identifying the problem; it's about finding solutions. Caroline offers practical advice on how to reverse this brain damage by creating a sense of safety within ourselves.
She emphasizes that this healing process is within our control, not the narcissist's. If you've ever felt trapped by your past, this episode will show you a way out. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to reclaim their mental and emotional well-being after narcissistic abuse.
