I’m Taylor Williams, an EMDR trauma therapist who helps people make sense of pain that’s often minimized or misunderstood, especially trauma rooted in narcissistic relationships and religious abuse. In an increasingly secular field I’m open about my Christian faith and, when welcomed, thoughtfully integrate it into the healing process. I specialize in helping adults recover from narcissistic abuse; whether from a parent, partner, boss, or religious leader. I help my clients rebuild their sense of self, boundaries, and voice. Using EMDR, I help the brain and body process what’s been stuck so people can move forward with freedom.

This podcast dives deep into real, raw topics—think vulnerability, triggers, and childhood trauma. But just so we're super clear: I’m not a licensed therapist, mental health professional, or anything close. I’m just a human sharing stories, lessons, and life hacks based on personal experience and a whole lot of curiosity.

So, while you might find some golden nuggets here, this is not therapy and should never replace professional mental health care. If you or someone you love is going through it, please—seriously—reach out to a licensed therapist or healthcare provider. You deserve the real deal.
