In this episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast', Caroline Strawson takes you on a journey to uncover the roots of narcissistic abuse. She dives into the often-overlooked connection between unhealed inner child wounds and the toxic patterns that emerge in adulthood.

By understanding these early experiences, you can start to see how they shape your sense of safety and relationships as an adult.
