Protective parts don't tend to protect us as the person we are in the age that we are.
Have you ever found yourself acting in ways that seem completely out of character after leaving a narcissistic partner? Caroline Strawson, a best-selling author and award-winning Trauma Therapist & Coach, takes on the delicate topic of promiscuity in this thought-provoking episode of 'The Narcissistic Trauma Recovery Podcast'. Caroline sheds light on why extreme promiscuity can emerge after escaping the grip of a narcissist, offering a compassionate and insightful perspective on this often-taboo subject.
Caroline explains that this behavior isn't about moral failings or lack of self-control; rather, it's a 'protector part' of our nervous system. This protector part attempts to soothe our inner wounds and make us feel loved and accepted after the emotional turmoil inflicted by a narcissistic relationship. By understanding this, listeners can begin to break the cycle of shame and self-blame that often accompanies such behaviors.
Through her own experiences and trauma-informed strategies, Caroline helps listeners grasp why these protector parts show up in unusual ways and how they can actually aid in healing. She dives into the emotional complexities and the deep-seated feelings of not being good enough or feeling responsible for the toxic relationship, which can drive such behaviors. This episode offers a safe space for listeners to gain clarity and self-compassion, moving from post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth.
Caroline's empathetic approach makes this an essential listen for anyone trying to understand their own behaviors after leaving a narcissistic partner. Tune in to uncover the real meaning behind post-narcissistic promiscuity and take the first step towards healing.
