If you're continually going off that road, cause it's familiar- and this is what I feel- and I'm telling my story- and now I'm in fight flight and then freeze, that's not helping you in the long run with your healing.
Imagine trying to heal from a traumatic experience, only to find that retelling your story might be slowing you down. In this episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast', Caroline Strawson dives into the surprising ways that repeatedly sharing your story of narcissistic abuse can actually hinder your recovery. While it's natural to want validation and understanding, neuroscience suggests that reliving these moments can trigger your body's stress response, keeping you stuck in a cycle of trauma.
Caroline explains the concept of the 'Trauma Vortex', a state where constantly revisiting painful memories can keep you anchored in distress. She offers practical advice on how to break free from this cycle, such as creating a safe and positive environment and being mindful of the content you consume online. By focusing on healing tools like Internal Family Systems, Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing, Caroline provides listeners with actionable steps to move from post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth.
If you're tired of feeling trapped by your past and ready to take control of your healing journey, this episode is a must-listen. Caroline's empathetic approach and expert insights offer a roadmap to recovery, helping you transform pain into strength.
