Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

Regaining your sense of self after emotional abuse

Narcissistic abuse can leave you feeling drained, confused, anxious, or doubting your own reality. You may question yourself constantly, feel unseen, or notice patterns of fear, guilt, or over-responsibility that were necessary to survive the relationship. Recovery is not about blaming yourself, it is about rebuilding safety, clarity, and confidence in your own experience. Healing from emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and relationship trauma.

Therapy provides a gentle, structured space to understand what happened, process difficult emotions, and reclaim your autonomy, identity, and emotional well-being.

How therapy helps

Narcissistic abuse recovery therapy can help you:

• untangle self-doubt, shame, and internalized blame

• recognize and interrupt harmful patterns

• rebuild self-trust and a strong sense of self

• process anger, grief, and fear safely

• learn tools to manage triggers and emotional overwhelm

• regain confidence in relationships and boundaries

Therapy is paced according to your nervous system, your safety, readiness, and autonomy always come first.

What sessions look like

Each session is collaborative and tailored to your needs. We may:

• explore your experiences and patterns with compassionate curiosity

• map out relational dynamics and triggers

• build coping strategies for anxiety, shame, or emotional flooding

• use polyvagal-informed, EMDR-informed, or parts-work approaches to process stored trauma

• strengthen self-compassion and boundary skills

You do not need to revisit every detail of your past. Therapy focuses on relief, understanding, and forward movement, not re-traumatization.

Common experiences addressed in therapy

Clients often come to therapy feeling:

• confusion or self-doubt after emotional manipulation or gaslighting

• hypervigilance in relationships

• difficulty asserting boundaries

• shame, guilt, or feeling “broken”

• anxiety, depression, or panic

• trouble trusting their own perceptions

• compulsive caretaking or over-responsibility

• repeated patterns of abusive relationships

If any of this feels familiar, therapy can help you start feeling grounded and in control again.
