Your body has to detach itself from all the trauma. It has to heal the pain, the invisible wounds, which takes a lot of time
Ever wondered why your body feels like it's been through a battlefield after leaving a narcissistic relationship? In this episode, Danish Bashir, a Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Professional, breaks down the physical toll that such a relationship takes on your body. He explains how chronic stress impacts your brain and body, leading to a cascade of physiological changes once you leave the toxic environment. Danish covers stages like cortisol crash, withdrawal effects, agitatory excitation, functional freeze collapse, and biochemical reset.
These terms might sound complicated, but Danish makes them easy to understand by relating them to everyday experiences. For instance, ever felt dead tired but couldn't sleep? That's your body trying to adjust to a sudden drop in stress hormones. Or maybe you've found yourself obsessively cleaning every nook and cranny of your house? That's your body's way of reclaiming control after living in chaos.
Danish also offers practical advice on supporting your body's natural healing process, from getting enough sleep to eating well and even seeking therapy. He emphasises that healing is not just an emotional journey but a physical one too. By understanding these stages, you'll gain a deeper appreciation for the complexities of recovery and be better equipped to support yourself through it.
So if you're looking to understand why your body feels the way it does after leaving a narcissist, this episode is a must-listen. You'll walk away with actionable insights and a newfound respect for your body's resilience.
