In this episode of The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast, Caroline Strawson provides a roadmap for kickstarting your healing journey with a bottom-up approach. Caroline, an award-winning Trauma Therapist and Coach, emphasizes that true healing comes from within and shares powerful self-healing methods to help you reclaim your life.
Caroline discusses the importance of addressing the root causes of trauma rather than just the symptoms. She explains that narcissistic abuse often highlights pre-existing wounds, making it essential to take a slow and methodical approach to healing. By doing so, you can avoid overwhelming your nervous system and retraumatizing yourself.

This episode is packed with practical tools and exercises to help you start the new year on the right foot and leave the narcissist behind.
