Remember, healing from narcissistic trauma is not about suddenly changing the narcissist, having this epiphany. I can change that... What can you do to live your best life because you deserve it?
Ever wondered if a narcissist can really change? Caroline Strawson tackles this burning question head-on in this episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast'. She dives into why those who have been abused often start doubting themselves and feel confused about their ex-partner's seemingly happy new relationship. Caroline explains that narcissistic behavior is rooted in deep feelings of worthlessness and that their 'protective parts'—including addictive behaviors—are all coping mechanisms to soothe their pain.
She also points out that the narcissist's new relationship doesn't mean they've changed; they're just seeking new sources of validation. But what about healing from narcissistic trauma? Caroline emphasizes that the key lies not in trying to change the narcissist, but in shifting your own perspective and focusing on your personal recovery. She urges listeners to stop fixating on their ex and instead, turn the lens inward to reclaim their power and start living their best life.
If you've ever felt trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and confusion post-breakup, this episode offers valuable insights into understanding and overcoming those feelings. Caroline’s empathetic approach and practical advice make this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with the aftermath of a narcissistic relationship. She provides actionable steps to help you focus on your healing journey, making it clear that while you can't change the past, you can certainly change how you move forward.
