No Visible Bruises

The Paradox Of Comedy & Narcissistic Abuse


Listen Later

Christa Cusack is a writer and coach who specializes in navigating the complex and challenging landscape of high-conflict narcissistic divorce. Christa has personally faced the struggles of post-separation abuse, but has found ways to cope and heal through the use of comedy writing, somatic work, self-hypnosis, reiki, and her own narcissism-informed coaching tools and methods. She has channelled her experiences into creating helpful resources such as card decks and journals, as well as books and screenplays, all with the goal of supporting and helping others in similar situations.

A glimpse into what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • Tips for infusing humour into the challenging experience of coping with narcissistic abuse
  • The link between early childhood trauma and adult responses to abuse
  • Strategies for rebuilding and creating a new life following narcissistic abuse and post-traumatic stress

In this episode, Christa delves into how she discovered the true nature of her relationship with her partner after leaving, and how she used her own intuition to navigate the trauma she faced. We'll also discuss the common tendency to keep ourselves "busy" as a means of avoiding our own intuition and how to avoid falling into that trap. Christa will also share the steps she took to rebuild her life in her 40's after experiencing the trauma of narcissistic abuse, physical illness, and post-traumatic stress.
