Healing from Toxic People

How can safety and sense of self be re-established after narcissistic abuse? It begins by understanding the hidden nature of narcissistic manipulation and the ways it erodes self?trust. We will create emotional safety, increase understanding of narcissism and its destructive patterns, and learn tools to depersonalize the abuse. We also explore the emotional and physiological consequences of narcissistic abuse, including trauma bonding, chronic shame, and symptoms of Complex PTSD, and participants develop tools for emotional regulation. Then, we practice rebuilding self-trust and autonomy through boundaries, rediscovering personal values, strengths, and interests, and tools for long term healing.
