#049: I Had The Key All Along with Caroline Strawson
Breaking free from hidden shame.
Hitting rock bottom was the point where everything changed for Caroline Strawson. A lifetime of exhausting people-pleasing, experiencing four miscarriages, and grieving the loss of her mum, had all taken their toll.
Then, recognising she was in a psychologically abusive marriage and navigating the escalating trauma associated with her divorce from a covert narcissist - only to discover they were in crippling debt which was to lead to repossession of their family home - all resulted in Caroline experiencing anxiety, depression, complex PTSD and self harm.
Caroline’s mission began with the recognition that only she could break free from the life-long invisible cage of expectation, now compounded by her experience of grief, shame and loss.
In this inspirational conversation trauma-informed coach & therapist, Caroline Strawson, describes how realising that she alone had the key to change was the point at which her journey to healing and recovery began.
Now she helps others to overcome narcissistic abuse after completely turning her own life around.
This episode is for anyone who wants to unlock the hidden shame associated with narcissistic abuse, or understand how to deal with internal conflict in a way that helps you get unstuck and move forward.
