Narcissistic & Emotional Abuse Recovery

If you’re here, reading this, you have probably lost count of the number of times you have asked yourself “Am I going crazy?” You feel confused, and you have had the gut feeling that something has just not been right for a while, but you can’t seem to put your finger on it. You feel like everything is always your fault all the time, and that you are always walking on eggshells. You’ve started to doubt your own memories, and you question whether your perception of reality is true.

I’m here to tell you you are not crazy, and your feelings are valid, Sometimes, abusive relationships are easy to identify. Other times, they are hidden and less obvious, leaving people wondering if what they are actually going through is considered abuse. Here is a bit of what that can look like:

  • Verbal abuse: belittling, name-calling, criticizing, degrading

  • Gaslighting: ways of making you question your own feelings, instincts, and sanity

  • Blaming: making you feel as though everything is your fault, and not taking accountability

  • Cycling between intense lovebombing, providing you with affection, attention, gifts, followed by making you feel rejected and devalued

  • So much more

Together, we will work to gain clarity and understand what may be keeping you stuck in the toxic cycles you no longer want to find yourself in. We will work to find new ways of relating to others by expressing and communicating your needs while also creating healthy boundaries. My hope is that you will finally cultivate a strong sense of who you are and find satisfaction in your life and your relationships with others.
