35 | Still Stuck After Covert Narcissistic Abuse? Here's Why Fixing Your Feelings Will Never Be Enough

Have you been trying to heal from narcissistic abuse by managing your emotions, pushing through the anxiety or just trying to think more positively but you still feel stuck in the same emotionally exhausted cycle? You are not doing it wrong. You have just been working on the wrong thing. In this episode we are getting to the root of why healing from narcissistic abuse feels so hard and it starts with understanding what covert narcissistic abuse actually did to your thinking. The words, the silence, the subtle put-downs, the gaslighting — those were seeds planted in your mind over time that grew into quiet beliefs that are running your life today. Beliefs like I am too much, I can't trust myself, something is wrong with me. And as long as we keep trying to fix the feelings those beliefs produce without addressing the beliefs themselves, we stay stuck in the same loop. In this episode I break down how thoughts influence feelings, why managing feelings without addressing the root keeps you in a cycle and a simple practical place to begin tracing your feelings back to the beliefs underneath them. If healing and restoring your self-worth are what you are after, this episode is for you.
