Are you an over-explainer? Do you find yourself constantly justifying your actions or decisions, even for the simplest of requests? This could be a lingering effect of narcissistic abuse.

If you have experienced this type of trauma you will often develop a habit of over-explaining as a defence mechanism. It's a way to protect yourself from the perceived judgment or disapproval of others. However, this behaviour can be exhausting and ultimately undermine your self-confidence.

Breaking free from the cycle of over-explanation requires acknowledging the root cause - the core emotional wounds that stem from narcissistic abuse. By recognising this pattern and consciously choosing to respond with clarity and self-assurance, you can reclaim your power and build healthier relationships. The journey may not be easy, but the rewards of self-acceptance and authentic communication are well worth the effort.

Have you been cheated on? I have and I want to help you. The devastating impact of narcissistic abuse hidden behind the veil of cheating is a calculated tactic used by narcissists to wear down their partner's self-worth, isolate them, and maintain control. This form of emotional and psychological abuse often goes unrecognized, leaving victims feeling responsible for their partner's actions. My personal experience with a cheating narcissist is a reminder that cheating is not just a "mistake" but can be a manifestation of a deeper pattern of manipulation and coercive control. By shedding light on this complex issue, I want to empower you to break free from the cycle of narcissistic abuse and reclaim your sense of self-worth. 0:00 Introduction 2:50 The Impact of Cheating on Self-Worth 6:23 Personal Experiences with Cheating 11:24 Understanding Psychological and Emotional Abuse 14:15 The Role of Cheating in Manipulation 14:27 Encouraging Listeners to Seek Support Podcast Resources: Join my FREE Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/thriveafternarcissisticabuse Access my low cost Narcissistic Trauma Recovery Programme https://go.carolinestrawson.com/heal-the-trauma-of-narcissistic-abuse Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinestrawson/ Find me on TikTok!: https://www.tiktok.com/@carolinestrawson My website: https://www.carolinestrawson.com/…

Grief can resurface at any stage of your healing journey, even years after a traumatic event, and giving space to these emotions is crucial for your well-being. I reflect on my own experience of grief resurfacing during a funeral, and how allowing myself to fully feel and express those emotions was essential for my recovery. By addressing the sensations and emotions in our body, you can better navigate your healing journey from narcissistic abuse, toxic relationships and childhood trauma. Being emotionally aware and using self-compassion, particularly when it comes to the grieving process, is an essential part of the recovery process.

Have you ever felt like your emotions were dismissed or invalidated by someone close to you? The manipulative tactic known as gaslighting is often used by narcissists to undermine your sense of reality. Narcissists are driven by a deep-seated need for control and validation and use gaslighting as a means to maintain power over you. This is a form of emotional abuse that chips away at your confidence, making you question your own perceptions and experiences. The narcissist's goal is to create a parallel reality where you become reliant on their version of events, ultimately losing touch with your own sense of self. By recognising the signs of gaslighting, you will take the first step towards reclaiming your autonomy and break free from the narcissist's grip. Staying vigilant for phrases that dismiss, minimise, or deny your reality is crucial in identifying this manipulative behaviour. With self-awareness and access to support, you can begin the journey of healing and personal transformation, ultimately finding the light at the end of the tunnel. Key topics covered in this episode: Understanding gaslighting and its impact on victims The nature of trauma and personal transformation Common gaslighting phrases used by narcissists The psychological impact of gaslighting on victims Resources and support for those experiencing narcissistic abuse Get a copy of my masterclass: https://carolinestrawson.com/dangers-of-a-narcissist Podcast Resources: Join my FREE Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/thriveafternarcissisticabuse Access my low cost Narcissistic Trauma Recovery Programme https://go.carolinestrawson.com/heal-the-trauma-of-narcissistic-abuse Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinestrawson/ Find me on TikTok!: https://www.tiktok.com/@carolinestrawson My website: https://www.carolinestrawson.com/…

Have you ever heard your partner say, "Don't worry, I'll handle everything and put it in my name," or "Just let me know if you need anything"? While these phrases might seem like generosity, they can actually be signs of financial abuse. In this episode, I’ll explore covert financial abuse and how narcissists use it to gain control, leaving you with little financial independence and making it hard to leave the relationship. But fear not, I'll guide you on reclaiming your financial independence and safely exiting the relationship. What you will learn in this episode: How narcissists hide their control behind generosity. Why so many people suffer from covert financial abuse without noticing. How to become financially independent and safely leave a narcissist. I’ll share a story about a woman I once helped. She left her partner after enduring years of financial abuse, where nothing, not even her phone number, was in her name. She couldn't even get a phone in her own name due to her lack of credit history, as everything financial was tied to her partner. Tune in to discover how you can regain control of your finances and prevent a situation like this. It's important to know that healing from this form of narcissistic abuse is possible.…
 
Introversion, anxiety, empathy… these definitely aren’t behaviours we think of when we picture a narcissist, but they are the traits that the hardest to spot narcissists have. Let me introduce you to the covert narcissist. The covert narcissist can fly under the radar until it’s too late, and I want to share with you 10 signs that someone may be a covert narcissist to help you steer clear of them, whether they’re your current partner, a potential partner, a friend or even a family member. What you will learn in this episode: The traits of the common covert narcissist How the covert narcissist differs from the overt narcissist Why the covert narcissist is often the most dangerous We often associate grandiosity, extraversion, confidence, and a 'look-at-me' attitude with narcissism. While it's important to note that not everyone displaying these traits is a narcissist, they serve as warning signs that help us avoid falling for another narcissist. However, it's crucial to recognize that not all narcissists fit the same mold. The covert narcissist, in particular, poses the greatest danger because they don't exhibit the stereotypical narcissistic behaviour. This makes it much easier to unknowingly fall into their trap.
