Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Coaching

Right now you may be feeling alone, confused, devastated, isolated, sad, not heard, believed or understood? You may also be asking yourself, WHY?, about almost everything that you went through and about what happened.  

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I HEAR YOU & I BELIEVE YOU. 

I am here to hold space and let you know, these are all common feelings when experiencing a Narcissistic / Toxic relationship.   You have just taken one of the most IMPORTANT steps in your recovery / healing journey.  Please know, you have landed in a nonjudgmental and safe space for you to start the healing process. By simply landing here and reading this, you have started your journey towards healing, growing, finding clarity and building the confidence for you to create the life you deserve.  I am both a Certified Life Coach and a survivor of Narcissistic Abuse.  I have walked in your shoes and navigated myself down this very same path.  Focusing on divorce and co-parenting, I spent a lot of time on educating myself on what Narcissism is and learning first hand through trial and error what works and what doesn't when dealing with a narcissist. 

Why narcissistic abuse recovery coaching? 

If you are in/have been in a relationship with a narcissist or have a narcissistic parent, family member, friend or co-worker you have most likely experienced complex trauma: prolonged, systematic, and  targeted neglect and abuse. The trauma may not end for you there. You may also have experienced that the people around you that you share your experience with may not understand you or don't believe the world in which you have lived though causing additional trauma of not being seen , heard or believed. 

When living through this experience, you may be left confused, feeling alone and cause you to create self-defeating beliefs and patterns that can affect your physical health, emotional state relationships even your everyday life can be affected and much more.

If you are dealing with such trauma  you may be experiencing:

• hypervigilance
• emotional reactivity
• compulsive self-doubt
• a harsh inner critic
• depression and anxiety
• avoidance
• people-pleasing tendencies
• compulsive guilt and shame
• perfectionism
• self-sabotage
• episodes of dissociation
• large memory gaps
• addictions
• addictive abuse cycles
• poor self-care
• panic attacks
• nightmares and flashbacks
• fear of judgment or criticism
• confused relationship boundaries
• a sense of foreshortened future
• chronic sleep disturbances
• unexplained chronic pain/illness

It is  very important to surround yourself with people who have been in a relationship with a narcissist when you are recovering from this trauma. They understand and know what you are going through because they lived it themselves. It is very hard for people who have not experienced this abuse to understand what you are telling them. Many of my clients have told me that they are not able to find the help or support they need because unless someone has walked in these shoes they can't relate to what they have gone through.  Some look for lifelines through therapist or coaching with someone who has been through narcissistic abuse.

Please note that I offer narcissistic abuse recovery  coaching with the understanding that although I know a lot about NPD  and narcissistic abuse trauma recovery both personally and  professionally, I am not a trained therapist. You are your own advocate, and I am here to support you with the toolkit I have as an author/expert and empathetic survivor.
