Emotional and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

Recover from narcissistic abuse, discover your true self and build lasting confidence

You may feel stuck in self-doubt, constantly second-guessing yourself, and wondering if you’re being too sensitive.

You have heard it before - “I was just joking”, “you’re so dramatic, or “I never said that.” These phrases, or ones similar, are common in emotionally abusive relationships.

All too often, when we have been in these relationships we start to question ourselves. 

We say things to ourselves like, “Why can’t I just be happy? What is wrong with me? If I were more kind, understanding, confident…etc., things would be different.” 

You were once confident, happy and engaged in your life. You would go out with your friends and do fun hobbies, but you’re not yourself anymore.

It’s not your fault.

When you are in a relationship with a narcissist or someone who is emotionally abusive, you are playing a game that you cannot win, because the rules are illogical.

Emotional and narcissistic abuse can leave you feeling isolated, anxious, and unsure of who you are. It takes courage to face the effects of emotional and narcissistic abuse, and taking this step shows your strength.

Through our work together, you will begin to trust your feelings, make decisions, and express yourself without fear. Imagine yourself feeling confident again - trying new things and reconnecting to passions and activities that used to bring you joy. 

You deserve to feel hopeful and optimistic about your future! When you can disentangle from toxic relationships, you will find yourself pursuing your goals and planning a future that feels exciting.

Do not wait for things to get worse - there is a non-judgmental and safe space waiting for you to share your experiences, feel comforted and experience healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Emotional abuse can be subtle and hard to identify. If you have any questions, I recommend reaching out to schedule an initial consultation and/or session to further clarify your doubts and get support for what you are experiencing. Even relationship stress outside of abuse can bring a lot of hardship and you deserve support.

  • Leaving an abusive partner is a difficult decision. You may be married, have kids, or live together and breaking those ties can have serious consequences. Counseling offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to get support, where your autonomy and choice is always respected. Together, we can explore your options and find ways for you to live a more empowered life, whether that means staying in the relationship or leaving.

  • Great question! I would recommend the podcast Breakdown to Break Through by Lisa Romano as well as Navigating Narcissism by Dr. Ramani. For books, I would recommend Why Does He Do That? by Lundy Bancroft.

  • It can be hard to watch a loved one being mistreated, especially if they do not see the warning signs or are not ready to acknowledge the warning signs of abuse. Supporting someone who is experiencing abuse requires a lot of patience and empathy. By being a safe, non-judgmental listening ear and empowering them to trust themselves and reach out for help, you can make a profound difference in their healing process. It is important to offer support and tools without pressuring your loved one to leave, as this will only increase their feelings of shame and guilt for staying. Although you may not be able to convince them to leave, your support will be an essential lifeline if and when they do feel ready to take the next step themselves. Please feel free to reach out to discuss more if interested.
