It literally is in your head, but it's also a very physical element that's happening...there's almost a piece of validation that, as I was going through that and I was feeling the things that they just described- the short-term memory, the brain fog, the high anxiety, the fight or flight constantly like it- kind of makes you feel like you're crazy, and it's so validating to me to go. Wow, I'm glad I did the work to come back.
Ever wondered if emotional abuse could actually change your brain? In this eye-opening episode of 'The Relationship Recovery Podcast', hosts Kierstyn Franklin and Tiffany Denny unpack the startling science behind how emotional abuse—whether it's narcissistic, psychological, or otherwise—can literally shrink parts of your brain. Dive into the nitty-gritty details as they discuss the hippocampus and amygdala, two critical areas affected by prolonged emotional stress. But it's not all doom and gloom.
Kierstyn and Tiffany also share invaluable tools and resources to help you heal and reclaim your mental well-being. They even sprinkle in some lighter moments with segments like 'Hollywood Hot Takes', where Tiffany gives her take on the drama in 'Sister Wives'. By the end of this episode, you'll not only understand the profound impact emotional abuse can have on your brain but also feel equipped with practical advice to start your journey toward recovery.
If you or someone you care about is navigating the stormy waters of a toxic relationship, this episode offers both insight and hope.
