Understanding the Narcissistic Abuse Cycle and Why You May Be Trauma-Bonded

AwakenHer with Corissa Stepp

Discover the hidden mechanics of the narcissistic relationship cycle and arm yourself with the knowledge to break free.
If you're feeling trapped in a fast-spinning vortex of emotional highs and crushing lows, this in-depth examination pulls back the curtain on the complexities of trauma bonding and manipulation.
We start off exploring the love bombing phase, where the deceptive charm of a narcissist reels you in, setting the stage for a harrowing journey through devaluation and control. I'll guide you through recognizing these patterns and the subtle differences between overt and covert narcissists, providing you a roadmap to healthier, more balanced relationships.
As we move forward, I’ll walk you through the precarious end of the narcissistic dance—the fear, the blame-shifting, and the tug-of-war over personal power. For those entangled in the web of a narcissist, especially within the confines of marriage and parenthood, the path to liberation is fraught with challenges.
But hope is not lost; this conversation is a catalyst for embracing self-love and initiating the essential inner work to reclaim your worth.
I also introduce my brand-new membership, StrongHer - the Narcissistic Trauma Recovery Group, offering a community and practical strategies for those ready to embark on a journey of healing from the deep-seated trauma inflicted by narcissistic abuse. For more info click HERE.
