I am passionate about advocating for a "top-down and bottom-up" approach that combines cognitive processing with healing the body and nervous system. I share my own journey of discovering these somatic modalities and my frustration at being dismissed by the mainstream mental health system for not having a psychology degree, despite my extensive training and success in helping people heal. I am on a mission to bring more awareness to the need for integrating somatic practices into trauma and abuse recovery. In this episode, we will explore: Why you can’t JUST talk about trauma and narcissistic abuse The importance of also feeling, processing, and healing the nervous system My personal experience with traditional talk therapy providing leading me to believe you can’t heal through talking alone My discovery of somatic modalities like EMDR, brain spotting, and breathwork to address the nervous system and body 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/
