Steve Bisson's Take on Healing After Narcissistic Abuse

I think that what I would like people to know is that more people have been in therapy than you know of number one. That's probably the most important one for me.
Imagine finding a way to heal from the deep wounds of narcissistic abuse. In this heartfelt episode of 'Hope After Narcissistic Abuse', host Amy Helms sits down with therapist Steve Bisson, who brings over 17 years of experience in trauma recovery to the table. Steve's journey from Montreal to Massachusetts to pursue his passion for mental health is nothing short of inspiring.
His diverse background, including work in community outpatient services and the criminal justice field, adds a rich layer to his insights on therapy and recovery. Steve’s approach to therapy is both practical and compassionate. He emphasizes the importance of authenticity and setting boundaries to create healthy relationships. One of the standout points in their conversation is the need to identify and understand complex emotions like fear, anger, and happiness.
Steve believes that digging deeper into these emotions can lead to genuine healing. Another crucial aspect discussed is the power of connection and community. Amy and Steve stress how having a support system can make a world of difference for those recovering from narcissistic abuse. By sharing experiences with others who have faced similar challenges, individuals can find strength and solace. Steve also shares his unique therapeutic methods, including twice-weekly texting sessions and focusing on primary emotions.
He highlights the importance of overcoming shame and guilt to foster healthy relationships. This episode is a beacon of hope for anyone struggling with the aftermath of narcissistic abuse. Through Amy and Steve's engaging discussion, listeners can gain valuable insights into the therapeutic process and find inspiration to move forward in their healing journey.
