| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the narcissistic trauma recovery podcast. I'm Caroline Strawson and I'll be sharing with you |
| 0:09.6 | awareness, understanding and education about the devastating effects of narcissistic abuse to help you thrive. |
| 0:16.5 | I want you to know that I've been exactly where you are and I believe you. And this show is all |
| 0:22.8 | about taking you from trauma to transformation. Hey, my friends, a massive warm welcome to the |
| 0:30.4 | narcissistic trauma recovery podcast as we move into 2023. Cannot believe it that we are in 2023. Would you believe I'm actually |
| 0:40.6 | going to be 50 years old this year? I can't believe it. I still feel like a child inside very, |
| 0:45.2 | very often as I'm nurturing my inner child, but I cannot believe I'm going to be 50 or as I keep |
| 0:51.2 | telling my children, I'm going to be 51 next year. But this is just really a quick |
| 0:56.4 | podcast for you right at the start of this year to really give you some hope, some light, |
| 1:02.7 | some inspiration and also to share something with you that I think will help you kickstart your |

| 1:22.9 | look back on the last year, or indeed many years and kind of start to think, is this it? Is this my life now? |
| 1:29.6 | Is it all downhill? Am I ever going to feel the same again? Am I ever going to feel that sense |
| 1:34.7 | of joy, happiness, connection again? Well, the answer is absolutely yes, but time alone does not |
| 1:42.7 | heal narcissistic abuse. It can make it feel less painful. But this is why when we look at |
| 1:51.0 | healing narcissistic abuse, we need to do it through a trauma-informed lens. We need to have a what's |
| 1:56.5 | called a bottom-up approach, which does actually literally mean your bottom. A bottom-up approach is a body |
| 2:02.3 | upwards approach. So often, many people, when they're looking to heal from the trauma of narcissistic |
| 2:07.7 | abuse, will do what we call a top-down approach. They will go to counseling, they will go to |
| 2:12.3 | talking therapy, and they'll go in, and for that moment, they will feel better because there's codependence going into |
| 2:19.3 | therapy or counselling. You've got somebody who's hearing and listening to you and seeing you, |
