Ever wondered why, even months or years after leaving a narcissistic relationship, you still feel jumpy, exhausted, or constantly on edge? In this episode, we discuss what's really happening in your body after narcissistic abuse.

From grounding exercises and vagus nerve stimulation to setting boundaries that actually stick, this episode offers compassionate support and actionable steps for anyone working to heal from narcissistic trauma. Remember, you're not broken – your body is doing exactly what it was designed to do. Now it's time to teach it that you're finally safe.
