You’ve read the books. You’ve listened to the podcasts. You understand narcissistic abuse, trauma, CPTSD, boundaries, and self-worth. But somehow, you still feel stuck — aware but disconnected.
This episode reveals why: Because awareness isn’t the same as embodiment.
Welcome to Phase 4: The Reclamation — the most overlooked, most transformative step in the healing journey after narcissistic abuse. This is where all the insight and awareness you’ve gathered finally move from your head into your body. This is where you stop knowing who you are and start living as her.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why smart, high-functioning women and even therapists get stuck here
- How dissociation hides the missing step between awakening and embodiment
- What it means to rebuild self-trust at the nervous-system level
- How to tell the difference between vacancy (emotional numbness) and peace (regulated safety)
- How to set boundaries that expand you instead of just protect you
- Why awareness without action keeps you repeating old patterns in prettier packaging
- Practical ways to reconnect with your intuition and practice embodied truth daily
This episode is for you if:
- You understand everything about narcissistic abuse, but still feel disconnected from your body or voice
- You’ve been “doing the work” but can’t figure out why you’re still anxious, lonely, or unfulfilled
- You’re a therapist, healer, or high-capacity woman who supports everyone else but feels empty yourself
- You’re ready to stop talking about healing and start living it
