Today’s episode dives into a shocking real-life psychotherapy story that left me questioning everything I knew about therapy and recovery.
When I told a licensed psychotherapist that I was recovering from narcissistic abuse, she said:
“Narcissistic abuse doesn’t exist.”
That sentence hit like a punch to the gut — and it exposed something deeper about the therapy world, mental health education, and how survivors are often dismissed or misunderstood.
In this episode, I unpack:
- My personal psychotherapy horror story
- Why some therapists still deny narcissistic abuse
- How to tell if your therapist actually understands trauma
- What real healing looks like after narcissistic abuse
- Why, despite it all, I still believe in therapy
If you’ve struggled with trauma, therapy confusion, or emotional invalidation, this one’s for you.
