Navigating covert abuse and the journey of trauma transformation
In this solo episode, Krysta shares her personal experience of navigating a covertly abusive relationship, and the moment she chose to reclaim her truth.
This episode isn’t about blame. It’s about awareness, healing, and the importance of speaking up—even when it’s uncomfortable. Krysta unpacks the subtle signs of covert narcissism, the empath–narcissist dynamic, and how trauma bonding can keep us stuck far too long.
She also reflects on how this experience ties into a larger seven-year cycle she's been moving through—and what she's learned about emotional regulation, boundaries, and rebuilding identity after emotional harm.
Topics include:
• Signs of covert narcissistic abuse
• Empaths and trauma bonding
• Nervous system dysregulation and recovery
• Boundaries and self-trust
• The role of astrology and personal cycles in healing
• Reclaiming your voice and power after being silenced
This is a vulnerable share, and we hope it supports anyone who’s been through something similar. You’re not alone—and your voice matters.
