Description
I believe you. I hear you. I see you. And I’m here to help you find your power to heal and thrive, not just survive.
Somatic trauma therapist and positive psychology coach Caroline Strawson wants to show you that your past is not your life sentence. No matter what’s happened in your life, you can find joy, light, and happiness again.
Integrating her own lived experience of narcissistic abuse with trauma-informed practices and positive psychology interventions, this book will help you heal and begin to feel like yourself again. You will learn:
· to understand your core emotional wounds and begin to heal from your past
· practical tools and exercises for engaging with the impact of narcissistic abuse, such as nervous system regulation, internal family systems theory, and the SELF Navigation Map
· techniques to mitigate any potential triggers and develop compassion and kindness towards your inner child, such as grounding practices, somatic self-leadership, and meditations
· how to turn pain into purpose, moving to a place of post-traumatic growth
This book will show you that you have the power to change the way you think and feel about the abuse that has happened to you, not because of you, and finally live the life you deserve to live – free from guilt and shame.
It’s time to take action. To do things differently. To step into your true self. To heal.
Everyone should read this book. Great education.
This book gave me so much help and encouragement for overcoming the trauma of living with a narcissist.
I have been reading a lot of books on this topic and this one is the best I have read.
Unlike most books written on the subject, Caroline shines a light onto the complex process of healing from narcissistic abuse, emphasizing that those who have been there have the power and opportunity to make meaning and find purpose after such a traumatic experience. Caroline integrates knowledge of trauma and it’s effects with positive psychology tools to help us move forward, heal, and grow.
She emphasizes that the first step is the awareness and acknowledging that this was indeed trauma. This enables us to have self-compassion and begin the process of healing from both past and present wounds. Caroline offers valuable tools to do so.
We can then move into the post-traumatic growth stage, which is where the real gold is found. More valuable tools offered.
This book emphasizes that we are all hero’s on a healing journey. We did not ask for abuse, but we can use the experience to create a life that’s more aligned with our greatest gifts and purpose.
Caroline’s approach is friendly, approachable, relatable, and compassionate. And pragmatic.
An essential resource for anyone working their way out of the web of narcissistic abuse.
Highly recommended.
Learning how to heal after narcissistic abuse is the gift that keeps on giving me joy every single day. Finding Caroline online five years ago has completely changed my life. After empty nesting and separation I thought my world was coming to an end. And that life is gone now and I am truly thriving. So my healing journey continues. I am SO grateful and REALLY feel blessed to be on this journey of FEELING ALIVE. It takes courage to begin loving yourself after a lifetime of people pleasing but once you start you will never stop living and loving yourself. And the inner peace and joy feels utterly amazing. You will FEEL SHINY AND NEW again and maybe for the first time. BUY THIS BOOK!
