Caroline Strawson is back with an episode that's a must-listen for anyone recovering from narcissistic abuse. In this heartfelt and honest discussion, Caroline shares the excitement of launching her new book, 'How to Heal After Narcissistic Abuse', with Hay House. She dives into her own journey from rock bottom to recovery, detailing the struggles she faced with complex PTSD, anxiety, and depression after leaving an abusive relationship.
Caroline's story is both harrowing and inspiring, offering hope to those who feel trapped in similar situations. She explains how traditional therapies provided temporary relief but didn't address the root causes of her trauma. This led her to explore and eventually train in various therapeutic techniques such as Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing. These methods not only transformed her life but now help her clients achieve lasting healing.
Caroline also discusses the stigma around the term 'narcissist' and how she prefers to view it through a trauma-informed lens. Her approach focuses on understanding the wounded parts of individuals rather than labelling them with medical terms. This episode is a mix of personal anecdotes, educational insights, and a dash of humour, making it both engaging and enlightening.
Whether you're dealing with narcissistic abuse or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives and practical advice for moving from trauma to growth. Don't miss out on this empowering conversation that promises to leave you feeling hopeful and inspired.
