Trauma, remember, isn't a person or an event.

These can be experiences, traumatic experiences, but the trauma is actually what you hold inside

of you is the interpretation of what's happening outside of you.

Ghosting and narcissistic abuse.

Hmm, interesting topic.

In today's episode, I'm going to be sharing with you why very often, every

cell of our body is craving communication with the narcissist. Why that happens and what we can do

about it and why we feel like if they don't get in touch with us, we feel like that's a bad

thing and why actually it's a really good thing. Hi everybody, massive welcome to

the trauma and narcissism redefined podcast. My name is Caroline Strawson. I'm a therapist and coach

specialising in invisible wounds that non-violent abuse that many of us experience as part of narcissistic abuse.

I'm here at my offices, so if you're here watching me on YouTube, you'll see I've got

some of my offices in the background.

Now, I've got a big sign that says your mental health matters because it does.

In fact, you can probably see just a little bit down there, one of the rooms that I have here

where I can do some sound healing sessions too, and then all my usual bits and bobs behind me. Sorry if you're listening

to this on the podcast, you won't be able to see it. But the reason why my office is, is I'm

actually going to be meeting someone very soon, just to come and look at the potential of

recording here. Remember when I was saying late last year, rebranding the whole

podcast and really interviewing survivors just like yourself. And I don't want it to just be

survivor stories where, you know, people are sharing their experiences. Yes, that's going to be

important because it'll help validate your experience. But I actually want to do one-to-one therapy with the person that I'm interviewing too so they get to ask me questions
