Chronic Pain and Narcissistic Abuse: Uncovering the Hidden Link

When we think about chronic pain, we must think about the trauma history of that person as well, to see how much, if we worked on the trauma history somatically, how much maybe, can we dial down that pain that that person is feeling as well.
What if your chronic pain wasn't just a physical issue but a manifestation of deeper trauma? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast', host Caroline Strawson unpacks the surprising connection between chronic pain and narcissistic abuse. Many people see chronic illness and narcissistic abuse as separate problems, but Caroline explains how they often intertwine. By addressing the root cause—narcissistic abuse—you can begin to heal from chronic ailments too.
Caroline shares compelling stories, including her own mother's battle with rheumatoid arthritis, to illustrate how our bodies sometimes use pain to shield us from emotional wounds. She dives into how trauma can lead to physical symptoms and discusses the role of cortisol, the stress hormone, in this process. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with unexplained physical pain or chronic fatigue. Through a trauma-informed approach, Caroline encourages listeners to become their own health advocates.
She offers practical advice on how to address both the physical and emotional aspects of chronic pain. By understanding and treating the underlying trauma, you can move from a state of Post Traumatic Stress to Post Traumatic Growth. Tune in to learn how healing from narcissistic abuse can also alleviate your physical suffering.
