Narcissistic abuse survivors who have CPTSD and have experienced ongoing or repeated abuse often develop a body hypervigilance. The body is continually tensed as it braces for potential trauma.
Ever felt like the trauma you endured left deeper scars than anyone can see? In this episode of 'Pathways to Recovery', A.J. Mahari unpacks the intricate layers of Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) that often follow narcissistic abuse. Mahari, a seasoned counselor and life coach, breaks down the condition's nuances, explaining how prolonged trauma can alter one's core self. Unlike standard PTSD, CPTSD isn't about labeling someone's trauma response but understanding its profound impact on their life.
Mahari dives into the emotional flashbacks, dissociation, and hyperarousal that many survivors face, painting a vivid picture of what living with CPTSD is really like. She also touches on the body's hypervigilance—a constant state of readiness for potential trauma—which many survivors experience. But it's not all about the symptoms. Mahari emphasizes that recovery is deeply personal and tailored to each individual's journey. Moving from trauma to healing isn't easy, but it's a path worth taking.
If you've faced narcissistic abuse and find yourself grappling with CPTSD, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you start your healing journey.
