Initial 14 Week Recovery Course: Surviving The Immediate Aftermath Of Narcissistic Abuse
Recovering from narcissistic, sociopathic and psychopathic abuse is not only extremely chaotic, confusing, and devastating, but it is widely misunderstood by a high volume of professionals. Not only do survivors pose the risk of being retraumatised by misleading and misinformed judgements and suggestions, they may also have their recovery journey prolonged because of the unhelpful, or downright invalidating experiences they may receive. This fourteen week live course will cover everything that a survivor may need need to know in the initial stages of their recovery from this truly horrific form of abuse.
Recovering from narcissistic, sociopathic and psychopathic abuse is not only extremely chaotic, confusing, and devastating, but it is widely misunderstood by a high volume of professionals. Not only do survivors pose the risk of being retraumatised by misleading and misinformed judgements and suggestions, they may also have their recovery journey prolonged because of the unhelpful, or downright invalidating experiences they may receive. This fourteen week live course will cover everything that a survivor may need need to know in the initial stages of their recovery from this truly horrific form of abuse.
Across the fourteen weeks, we will spend: – 1 week exploring the topic of going ‘no contact:’ why it is a vital step in recovery (emotionally and biologically), as well as practical tips for how to go about it successfully. We will also discuss the concept of parallel parenting and how to navigate the aftermath when there are children involved. – 3 weeks exploring, dissecting and reaching a grounded understanding of the neurological, biological, psychological, emotional and relational dysfunctions of narcissistic abusers. Alongside this, these vital weeks will have participants exploring how these dysfunctional relationships can influence their behaviour; how it impacts the dynamics of the relationship; how to navigate away from future encounters; and how to heal and move on from the lasting effects of their experience. Many survivors are forced to bypass this stage because others convince them that they ‘need to focus on themselves.’ While this is the ultimate goal, I am of the opinion that it is vital to address and understand the dysfunction of the perpetrator in order to help process their experience and move away from the damage that these individuals often cause. Without this information, many survivors often remain stagnant in rumination, self-gaslighting, and trauma-bonded to the perpetrator for far longer than they need to be. – 2 weeks understanding the chemical reaction that occurs within abuse survivors, including a deep dive into why a survivor is often severely dysregulated following their experience. We will also explore the science behind trauma-bonding and cognitive dissonance; and how to heal from all of these destructive stages of recovery.
If you would like to process your experience on a much deeper, more personal level, I would recommend signing up for either my 1-to-1 private coaching sessions, or enrolling on one of the online supported workshops that I offer. These will be far more personalised, and will instead focus more on personal story telling, sharing experiences, and working through specific hurdles that members of the group are finding challenging to navigate through.

Intensive 14 Week Continuation Course: Childhood Wounds, Attachment Patterns, And Narcissistic Abuse.
While this course is predominantly written for survivors of narcissistic abuse, the curriculum covers content that would be relevant to any trauma survivor. This is for survivors who are perhaps ready to dive a little deeper into their recovery journey and consider the following: How did your early attachment experiences unconsciously influence your decisions throughout the abusive relationship? How do many narcissistic abusers use a person’s developmental trauma to hold them captive and rooted in fear? What is your believe system surrounding boundaries? And how may this be leaving you vulnerable in relationships? Often survivors are told that the answer is simply a case of them enforcing stronger boundaries. But many often carry unconscious beliefs about setting boundaries that leave them susceptible to exploitation and manipulation. Too frequently, survivors are often labelled as being codependent, even when multiple studies have suggested that over 60% of survivors only develop codependent-like behaviours because of the dysfunction of the narcissist, sociopath, and/or psychopath. It’s not helpful to assume that a person can simply change a deep-rooted pattern of behaviour that they’re not even aware of possessing them in the first place.
