Summary

Our mind and body can act in unusual ways after leaving a narcissist, and it’s vital to know why we may be showing behaviours that didn’t appear before. One of those behaviours can be extreme promiscuity, and that’s what I want to discuss in today’s episode of The Narcissistic Trauma Recovery Podcast. 

What you will learn in this episode:

  • Why our promiscuity can come out after leaving a narcissistic partner
  • How being promiscuous can help heal our inner wounds
  • The reasons why our protector parts show up in unusual ways

Promiscuity after leaving a narcissist can occur because it’s our protector part of our nervous system trying to tackle our trauma head-on. Our inner wounds of not feeling good enough & feeling responsible for the relationship with the narcissist causes trauma which can lead to issues with our promiscuity. So in this episode, I discuss why our promiscuity can suddenly appear and the real meaning of it. Feel free to send me a message via my socials or through [email protected] so we can discuss why promiscuity may be showing up for you.
