In this episode, we will delve into techniques and strategies to break free from these patterns by reframing the words we use and the meanings we assign to other people's behaviors. We will explore how language and perception can shape our reality and influence our sense of self. We will discuss practical tips on how to reframe negative self-talk, challenge limiting beliefs, and harness the power of your subconscious mind to rebuild your self-esteem and regain your voice.

Whether you are a survivor of emotional abuse, or someone interested in personal growth, this episode will provide you with valuable insights and practical tools to facilitate healing, growth, and self-expression.

  • Episode 43: The Closure Myth: Why You Don't Need it to Heal from Emotional Abuse

    Leave a text or voice message so we can respond

    In this episode, I'll be diving into the topic of closure and why it may not be as necessary as we once thought. Many of us have been conditioned to believe that closure is essential to moving on from emotional and narcissistic abuse, but what if I told you that closure is actually a myth? We'll be exploring why closure may not be possible or even desirable in some cases, and instead, offer alternative ways to heal from trauma and move forward with your life. Join as I discuss how you can still find peace and healing without relying on closure.

  • Episode 42: Surviving and Thriving: A Mother and Daughter's Story of Overcoming Emotional Abuse

    Leave a text or voice message so we can respond

    Today I am interviewing a mother and her young adult daughter who experienced emotional abuse by the same man. We explore the hidden signs of abuse and journey along with them both as they share their personal traumas and how it has affected them. 

    On their way to healing from narcissistic abuse, both mom and her daughter have such positive outlooks for their lives. Their stories are informational and inspiring. This is such an important topic because many people feel that it's only the mom, wife, girlfriend who is impacted, while the children are seen in a different light. 

    However, the children are always watching and being influence and affected, even if the abuse doesn't seem to be directly pointed at them.

    I hope this episode leaves you with things to consider, especially if you have your own children as well as a gentle and kind approach to healing yourself from guilt and possible regret. 

    Remember, we can't heal ourselves if we are judging ourselves...If you find compassion for this mother, try to find that same compassion for yourself.

  • Episode 41: How to Process Emotions When the New Supply Is Being Treated Better Than You

    Leave a text or voice message so we can respond

    A lot of people say, "Don't put your thoughts and energy into him and what he's doing."
    They say, "Focus on yourself to heal."

    And though these people are well-meaning and right, it IS NOT always that simple.

    Our brains are keeping us stuck! So, if you were in a relationship with a narcissist and now are seeing that the new supply is being treated better than you were...you're going to want to listen to this.

    I am sharing the source of why this happens AND how to start processing your emotions so you can move yourself out of anger, jealousy, sadness or any other unwanted feeling you might have.

    You do not have to be at the mercy of your emotions. You can take control of how you feel and stop those awful feelings when you see that this new person is getting better treatment than you.

    Then, you can stop thinking about it...you can stop dwelling on the injustices and pain...you can start living your life full of peace and indifference toward your ex!

  • Episode 40: 3 Easy Steps to Stop Taking Things Personally

    Leave a text or voice message so we can respond

    We've all done this...but when we take things personally, we feel bad inside. And you know the goal here is to feel good! So today, I am giving you 3 Easy Steps to Stop Taking Things Personally with lots of other information to help move you from feeling stuck to set free.

    Whether you've experienced this in the past from a narcissistic relationship or are currently struggling with your emotions related to taking things personally, I want you to know...it is possible to stop. 

    A lot of times we do this because of our programming from childhood and even throughout adulthood. For most people it stems from insecurities and feelings of low self worth. That means, we can change it and start seeing things objectively as information and not take it personally.

    Emotional abuse can often cause us to have these feelings of low self worth and the abuser/narcissist has found a lot of success blaming you for everything. What happens is, we create a pattern in our brain that points the finger back to us, even when it isn't our fault or has nothing to do with us at all!

    So, listen in today for your 3 Easy Steps to Stop Taking Things Personally so you can show up with confidence and inner peace...and not be negatively affected by what goes on around you.

  • Episode 39: Is it Really Your Ex You're Missing?

    Leave a text or voice message so we can respond

    Why do you still miss someone who hurt you?

    You've left the emotionally abusive relationship. You know how much pain they caused you. You may even know that leaving was the right decision.

    So why do you still feel that longing?

    Missing someone who emotionally abused you can be incredibly confusing, especially when you're trying to move forward with your life.

    But what if it's not actually your ex that you're missing?

    In this episode, we're exploring why you may still feel emotionally attached to someone who hurt you and how to uncover what you're really longing for.

    Through a series of personal reflection questions, I'll help you look beneath those feelings and consider whether what you're missing is the person, the relationship you hoped to have, or something else entirely.

    Because sometimes, what we're holding onto isn't the person themselves, but what we believed they could give us.

    If you've already left a toxic or emotionally abusive relationship but still find yourself thinking about your ex, missing them, or struggling to let go, this episode will help you explore those feelings from a different perspective.

    Understanding what you're really missing can be an important step toward releasing that longing, rebuilding your sense of self, and moving forward.

    She is giving tips and information about how to help repair your memory after emotional abuse. So, if you've been thinking there is no help for your memory, you're going to want to listen in! Our brain's are neuroplastic so that means we can absolutely change our brains and improve our memories!

    Whether you encountered a narcissist or not, emotional abuse has devastating affects our our brains and our memory. But I want you to be hopeful that you can absolutely improve this even after a toxic relationship.

    Francine Waskavitz is a Speech-Language Pathologist turned Memory Health Coach for women.
