Healing is a journey, not linear!
I primarily specialize in working with victims of narcissistic abuse, which typically includes empaths and HSP's. Recognizing the abuse is easy, getting out of the abuse is dramatically different! I help empower my clients by validating their experiences and working through having been gaslit and manipulated for so long. Not many truly understand the gravity this takes on a person and recovery is no easy task! Not only is getting out of these relationships difficult, but then trying to have a fulfilling life after, feels like an uphill trek much of the time. Whether it was a parent, spouse, partner, friend, colleague, boss, etc. they all leave a residue that is hard to work through!
I also help coach you through divorcing a narc, co-parenting with one, and learning how to navigate the tumultuous aspects of their chaotic personality disorder. Another part of this is that there are more than one kind of narcissists, as if one kind isn't bad enough, there is covert, malignant, overt, communal, hypervigilant, and seductive and each comes with their carbon copies of behaviors, retaliation, and vindictive behaviors.
Men and women are experiencing the wrath of narcissism at an all time high. I do not feel this is a buzzword at all and I feel that minimizes so many victims who are silently suffering. Additionally, I help many to restore their faith in humanity and teach you how to cope and maneuver through the grief of having endured this in your life but that it will never define you!
