Are You Struggling with the Aftermath of Narcissistic Abuse?

Living under the shadow of narcissistic abuse can leave deep, invisible scars. You might find yourself constantly questioning your worth, feeling isolated, or doubting your perceptions. 

In your role as a parent, you may worry about how your experiences affect your children, striving to shield them from similar pain. 

At work, you might grapple with self-doubt, fearing that your contributions are undervalued or overlooked. Socially, gatherings that once brought joy now feel daunting, as you battle feelings of inadequacy or fear of judgment. 

In romantic relationships, trust becomes a fragile concept, and intimacy may feel overwhelming or unsafe.

At Realms of Life Counseling, I understand the profound impact narcissistic abuse can have on every facet of your life. I am here to provide a compassionate space where your experiences are validated, and your journey toward healing is honored.

Empowering Your Journey to Healing and Self-Rediscovery

Now Picture This...

Imagine waking up each morning with a renewed sense of self-worth, no longer haunted by the echoes of past abuse.

 As a parent, you engage with your children with confidence and joy, knowing that you are fostering a nurturing environment free from the shadows of your past. 

At work, you approach tasks with clarity and assurance, recognizing and celebrating your contributions without the nagging voice of self-doubt. 

Social gatherings become opportunities for genuine connection, where you feel comfortable and valued, free from the fear of judgment. 

In your romantic life, trust blossoms naturally, allowing for deep, meaningful connections without the barriers of past trauma.

Through therapy, this kind of healing isn’t just possible—it’s achievable. Together, we can work to help you reclaim the parts of your life that narcissistic abuse has overshadowed and create a future where empowerment, joy, and authentic connections are your new normal.

My Approach to Narcissistic Abuse Trauma Therapy

At Realms of Life Counseling, I offer evidence-based therapies tailored to meet your specific needs:

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapy that helps reprocess distressing memories, reducing their emotional intensity. During EMDR sessions, you'll focus on specific memories while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as following my fingers with your eyes or tapping. This process enables the brain to form new associations with these memories, leading to healing and relief.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness-Based Therapy teaches you to stay present and respond to your emotions with kindness instead of judgment. By cultivating mindfulness, you can break free from cycles of self-criticism or hopelessness, leading to a calmer, more grounded state of being.

Ego State Therapy

Ego State Therapy explores the different parts of yourself that may be in conflict due to narcissistic abuse. By addressing and healing these parts, you can create a stronger foundation for emotional resilience and self-acceptance, leading to a more integrated sense of self.

What to Expect in Therapy

Embarking on therapy is a courageous step toward healing. In our sessions, we will:

• Explore the root causes of your experiences.
• Develop strategies to manage and reduce symptoms.
• Foster resilience and empower you to reclaim your life.

My goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where you feel heard and understood, facilitating your journey toward healing and well-being.
