Summary

Welcome back to the podcast! Before we dive into the Q & A section, I want to give you all a HUGE thank you, we just passed 3 million downloads for the podcast and I’m so grateful for every single one of you. My main purpose in life is to help and support those of you who are suffering from narcissistic abuse and help you heal, so I’m grateful that this podcast has reached so many people and I hope it’s helped some of you!

But as it’s the first Tuesday of the month, it’s this month's "Ask Me Anything" where I get to answer the questions you’ve been sending in! In the AMA section, I have decided to focus on one question, as I believe it’s so important that it needs a whole episode to discuss it. That question is “How do I move forward with my life? I just feel so numb.”

What you’ll learn in this episode:

What functional freeze is and how to get “unfrozen”
How to read your emotions and discover what your body is telling you
The science of how our nervous system reacts to abuse and creates trauma
How to transition from a freeze response and get back into feeling “normal”

My aim for these episodes is to make sure I’m discussing topics that directly impact you, so I hope my answers help you in a strong recovery from narcissistic abuse. Every first Tuesday of each month is an "Ask Me Anything" episode, so please send in your questions to [email protected] where we will endeavour to answer them either in these Ask Me Anything episodes or as a topic for a full episode!

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.
0:21.4	And this show is all about taking you from trauma to transformation.
0:27.4	Hi, a massive warm welcome everybody to my narcissistic trauma recovery podcast.
0:33.1	I'm absolutely thrilled that you are here as always.
0:36.6	You know, it always really humbles me when I get
0:38.9	amazing messages from you on Instagram or Facebook or email because it just, I've just literally
0:45.9	sat here in my little home here in the Midlands in the UK, really hoping that this gets to the
0:52.6	right people to give you that hope, to give you hope that
0:55.6	there is post-traumatic growth after the post-traumatic stress of narcissistic abuse.
1:01.8	And the first thing I want to do is really have a celebration with you all.
1:06.0	I'm really, really thrilled because we have just hit, and I can't even believe I'm saying
1:10.7	this, I'll have to say, and I can't even believe I'm saying this, I have to say
1:11.5	three million downloads, everybody. So thank you so much for being incredibly supportive for me,
1:19.3	really in what I see is my life's purpose in helping and supporting you to heal from narcissistic
1:24.8	abuse and the trauma piece in all of that because that for me was
1:28.3	the missing piece. People, yes, we call it narcissistic abuse, but it is trauma and people don't
1:33.8	really talk about the nervous system when we talk about narcissistic abuse and that real deep
1:37.8	understanding. It's a lot of symptom management and things like this. And really that takes me
1:42.2	into what I want to do in today's podcast as well.
1:45.3	But I just want to say thank you. I cannot believe I have had three million downloads.
