Trauma and Narcissistic Abuse
The connection between narcissistic abuse and trauma is intense. Recognizing the challenges of navigating a narcissistic connection and trauma is crucial. Narcissistic abuse, characterized by manipulation and emotional control by someone with narcissistic traits, often leads to significant trauma.
This trauma manifests through emotional and psychological distress. People are likely to experience anxiety, betrayal, depression, grief, and a deep-seated sense of worthlessness, along with physical manifestations of stress.
Going to counseling is vital for overcoming trauma caused by a narcissistic relationship. We teach you how to rediscover your self-identity, and how to process trauma. Additionally, you learn about self-care, self-compassion, and more.
