There's nothing wrong with you. You're only behaving in a way that your brain and body thinks is the best for you.
How do you handle intimacy when you're in a relationship with a narcissist? In this episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast', Caroline Strawson dives deep into this challenging topic. Drawing from her own experiences with her ex-husband, Caroline opens up about the complexities of intimacy avoidance and the trauma responses that often accompany it. She explains how viewing intimacy through a trauma-informed lens can shift our understanding of why our bodies might reject closeness.
It's not about something being wrong with us; it's about our protector parts kicking in to keep us safe. Caroline's candid sharing makes it clear that these reactions are natural and not a conscious choice. Listeners will learn the importance of self-compassion and self-nurturing, especially after enduring narcissistic abuse. Caroline emphasizes that recognizing our trauma responses is the first step towards healing and growth.
