Narcissistic abuse is a form of emotional and psychological manipulation that leaves deep, lasting effects. Women who experience narcissistic abuse often face patterns of gaslighting, criticism, control, and neglect. This can result in chronic self-doubt, anxiety, difficulty setting boundaries, and a sense of disconnection from their own emotions. Many women describe feeling like they are “walking on eggshells” or losing touch with who they truly are.
As a Connecticut therapist specializing in trauma recovery, I support women in healing from the complex impact of narcissistic abuse. With extensive trauma training and a gentle, mind-body-informed approach, I help women reconnect with themselves, regulate their nervous systems, and reclaim a sense of safety and inner strength.
How Narcissistic Abuse Affects Women
Emotional exhaustion: Constantly managing another’s moods or expectations can leave women feeling drained and anxious.
Loss of self-trust: Gaslighting and manipulation can make it difficult to trust your own thoughts, feelings, and instincts.
Chronic stress: Living under control or criticism often activates the nervous system, leading to fatigue, insomnia, or heightened anxiety.
Difficulty setting boundaries: Survivors may struggle to assert themselves or feel guilty for saying no.
A Gentle Approach to Healing
Healing from narcissistic abuse isn’t about forcing yourself to “get over it.” My work focuses on empowering women to come home to themselves. Through personalized therapy, we gently explore the impact of abuse, rebuild confidence, and develop practical tools for managing triggers. Techniques such as mind-body therapy, EMDR, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed interventions help women reconnect with their inner resilience and sense of self.
Many women are surprised by how quickly small, intentional practices can create a sense of stability and grounding. My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and tailored to each individual’s journey.
Reclaim Your Life and Inner Strength
You don’t have to navigate the effects of narcissistic abuse alone. With the right guidance, women in Connecticut can recover from trauma, restore self-trust, and cultivate a life rooted in empowerment and self-compassion. My goal is to help you feel steady, safe, and at home in your own being, even amidst life’s challenges.
