Manage episode 522210655 series 3580230
In this compelling first half of a two-part ANEW Insight conversation, Dr. Supatra Tovar delves into the complex realities of narcissistic abuse and childhood trauma with transpersonal psychologist and trauma expert Dr. Meg Haworth. This episode explores the symptoms of narcissistic abuse—such as chronic self-criticism, identity confusion, and emotional dysregulation—as well as the profound impact these experiences have on survivors.
Dr. Meg, a survivor of severe trauma including narcissistic parenting, shares her journey and expert insight on how these toxic environments cultivate shame, guilt, and control. The conversation also highlights the significant role of food and body image as tools of control and trauma manifestation, illuminating connections to disordered eating and emotional detachment from hunger cues.
Listeners will gain a clear understanding of the hidden signs of narcissistic abuse, the early warning patterns in narcissistic romantic relationships, and the lasting mental and physical effects on survivors. This episode sets the foundation for Part Two, which introduces Dr. Meg’s Whole Person Integration Technique designed to help survivors reclaim their identity and heal stored trauma.
