Do you feel completely lost after narcissistic abuse, like you don't even know who you are anymore? Christian women healing from abuse often struggle with identity confusion after narcissistic abuse because their sense of self was systematically dismantled. In this episode, we explore why discovering your identity after abuse isn't just another step in recovery—it's the vital foundation for everything else.

What You'll Learn:

  • How narcissistic abuse systematically erodes your identity through four deliberate phases
  • Why Christian women are particularly vulnerable to identity loss after emotional abuse
  • The biblical foundation for your true identity after abuse (Psalm 139:14, Ephesians 2:10, Colossians 3:3)
  • Why rebuilding identity after narcissistic abuse must be your starting point for healing
  • How community helps in rediscovering identity after emotional abuse (insights from Jamie Winship's "Living Fearless")

This episode addresses the unique challenges Christian women face when recovering from narcissistic abuse. You'll understand why that emptiness you feel isn't because there's nothing there—it's because you've been living as someone you were never meant to be. We'll explore how identity is discovered in community and why healing from narcissistic abuse requires safe people who reflect back God's truth about who you are.
