Does Narcissistic Abuse Impact Your Health?

Send us Fan MailYour body remembers what your mind couldn’t name. We explore how narcissistic abuse leaves a somatic footprint—chronic pain without clear injury, IBS and gut distress, bone-deep fatigue, and sleep that turns into a nightly replay of threat—and why these patterns persist even after you leave the relationship, workplace, or community that caused the harm. Drawing from clinical experience, trauma texts, and hard-won personal insight, we break down the science of implicit memory, nervous system dysregulation, and the gut-brain axis to show how hypervigilance becomes a full-body habit.We get practical about what the body is trying to say through jaw clenching, shoulder bracing, and lower back pain, and how to respond with tools that rebalance the autonomic nervous system. You’ll hear how chronic sympathetic activation fuels cortisol surges, microbiome shifts, and mitochondrial slowdown, and why shame quietly locks these changes in place. We also unpack the addiction loop of love-bombing and withdrawal, the rumination spiral that hijacks sleep, and the identity collapse that happens when you stop living the story a narcissistic system wrote for you and start living your own.Download the FREE Break the Trauma Bond Process today.This is Soma Rising: Conversations for a Conscious Future —where health, wealth, love, and purpose flow together on the Golden Path of alignment.  Learn more at somatribe.org Continue Your JourneyIf this episode touched your heart, please share it with someone you love and help awaken others to the Golden Path.Website: soma-massage.netInstagram: @somawellness.center or @tabitharmacdonaldTikTok: @tabitharmacdonaldYouTube: @tabitharmacdonald✨ Ready to take this work deeper?If today’s episode spoke to your soul and you’re ready to rise into a life aligned with your truth, I’d love to invite you into Soma Tribe—my signature transformational journey for people who are done playing small and ready to reclaim their power, purpose, and intuitive knowing.✨ Learn more and sign up online.Tabitha MacDonald is an Intuitive Coach and Bodyworker committed to helping people overcome pain fast so they can experience the love, success, freedom, and fulfillment they deserve.Additional Resources:💻 Book a Free Consultation: Schedule now💻 Save $200 on an Introductory Soma Rewire Session.  Book Now🌀 Soma Flow Library of Healing (Free Trial!)🌀Try Soma Tribe for $1!  Get started on your healing journey today.📺 YouTube: Tabitha MacDonald Channel📸 Instagram: @tabitharmacdonald
