Ever wondered why traditional talk therapy sometimes leaves you feeling stuck in your recovery from narcissistic abuse? In this episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast', Caroline Strawson sheds light on the limitations of talk therapy and why it often isn't enough on its own. She explains how therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting can reach the deeper parts of your brain where trauma is stored, offering a more holistic path to healing.
Caroline discusses the complexities of Complex PTSD and why it's so challenging to overcome with just talk therapy. She highlights the importance of finding a therapist who has personally experienced narcissistic abuse and understands the nuances of your journey. This episode dives into how traditional methods can sometimes even make you feel worse and why integrating brain-body-based therapies can be a game-changer.
You'll also learn about the crucial role of self-compassion and the difference between merely surviving and truly thriving after trauma. Caroline's unique approach combines various trauma-informed therapies, providing listeners with practical tools and hope for genuine recovery. Whether you're just starting your healing journey or looking for new strategies, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable advice to help you move forward.
