Healing Your Nervous System After Narcissistic Abuse:Trauma-Informed EMDR & Mind-Body Therapy for Women in Connecticut

Narcissistic abuse impacts your nervous system, your sense of safety, and your connection to your inner self. If you’ve been in a relationship with a narcissistic partner, parent, family member, or boss, you may still feel the effects in your mind and body long after the relationship has ended.

Many women experiences:

• anxiety or hyper-vigilance

• overthinking or self-doubt

• trouble sleeping or relaxing

• people-pleasing or walking on eggshells

• emotional shutdown or numbness

• exhaustion from constantly bracing inside

This is not a personal failing.

It is a nervous system response to trauma.

And healing is absolutely possible — slowly, gently, and safely.

As a Connecticut EMDR therapist and meditation teacher, I can support you  through narcissistic abuse recovery using trauma-informed therapy and somatic, mind-body approaches.

I understand how deeply this experience impacts the body, heart, and sense of self, and I only use practices that I have personally experienced as meaningful and effective.

How Narcissistic Abuse Impacts the Nervous System

Narcissistic abuse creates emotional instability and unpredictability. Love, warmth, or connection can suddenly shift into criticism, withdrawal, or control.

Over time, your nervous system learns to stay alert, scanning for the next change in tone, mood, or behavior.

This can lead to:

• fight-or-flight anxiety

• freeze or shutdown

• difficulty trusting yoursel

f• disconnection from the body

• shame or self-blame

• feeling like you’ve “lost yourself”

This is not something you can simply think your way out of.

Healing happens through the body — by restoring safety at a nervous-system level.

My Trauma-Informed Healing Approach

As a Connecticut-based EMDR therapist, I support women in slowly rebuilding safety, self-trust, and grounded presence. My work integrates compassionate, research-supported, and deeply embodied modalities.

• EMDR Therapy

A powerful trauma-healing approach that helps process and release unhealed experiences so your nervous system no longer stays stuck in survival mode.

• Mind-Body & Somatic Therapy

We gently reconnect you with sensation, grounding, breath, and internal awareness — helping your system relearn what “safe enough” feels like.

• Realization Process Meditation

A subtle, embodied practice that supports connection to your core self — the part of you that remains whole, even after trauma.

• Havening Techniques®

A soothing touch-based approach (self-applied) that supports calm, emotional release, and deep nervous system regulation.

• Reiki & Energy Healing

Optional sessions to support relaxation, release, and energetic repair.

• Women’s Online Meditation — Cameras Off

A soft, nurturing space where you don’t need to perform or be seen — just breathe, listen inward, and restore your nervous system.

This work is gentle. Respectful. Slow.

We move at the pace your system feels safe to go.

What Healing Can Begin to Feel Like

Over time, women often notice:

• less anxiety + hyper-vigilance

• more grounded confidence

• restored body awareness

• emotional clarity & self-trust

• relief from emotional triggers

• a sense of inner homecoming

Narcissistic abuse recovery is not about fixing you.

It’s about coming back to yourself.

You’re Not “Too Sensitive” — You Were Overwhelmed

If your reality was dismissed…

If your feelings were minimized…

If you learned to make yourself small…

You deserve to heal.

As a therapist who understands narcissistic abuse, I hold a compassionate, steady space for your nervous system to soften, without pressure or judgment.

You don’t have to heal alone.
