Summary

It's often said that we are the sum of the five people we spend the most time with. This concept takes on profound significance when you're recovering from narcissistic abuse. In this episode, I'll take you through a look at my social circle during my struggle with my narcissistic husband's abuse. I'll reveal how certain friends hindered my healing, while others became pillars of strength, propelling me towards where I am today.

What you will learn in this episode:

Why your community is so important to your healing
How to navigate conversations about narcissism with your friends
Where to find a supportive community if you don’t have one

Your community isn’t just who you see in person, it’s everything you consume online. So I want to make sure that you structure your in-person and online communities in a way that will support your healing, and if you unfortunately have to remove people from your life, I’ll share how you can do that in the easiest way possible.

0:00.0	Welcome to the narcissistic abused and trauma recovery podcast. I'm Caroline Strawson and I'll be sharing with you awareness, understanding and education about the devastating effects of narcissistic abuse. I've been exactly where you are right now and this podcast is a beacon of hope for you to know that you
0:22.8	are believed, you are seen, you are heard and you are not alone. And my hope for listening to
0:29.6	the podcast is it will help you move from post-traumatic stress to post-traumatic growth
0:35.6	after the trauma of narcissistic abuse because it is possible.
0:40.7	You are enough and you deserve to thrive.
0:45.9	I'm Red Brands. A massive welcome to the narcissistic abuse and trauma recovery podcast.
0:51.4	As always, it's my absolute honor to have you listening because I know what a
0:56.1	traumatic time this can be as you're maybe just realizing that there's a narcissist in your life,
1:02.1	or maybe even been struggling like I did for many years afterwards after I've been put up
1:06.3	from my ex-covert narcissistic husband. So I know what it is like. And I think, you know, when people
1:12.7	listen to my podcast, do you even see me online now? People think, oh, you're so confident. And I'm really
1:18.5	a real introvert, actually. I know it may look like I'm an extrovert, but I'm actually very
1:22.8	introverted. This is easy because I'm sat here and everything. but when I do like my events and everyone's
1:27.9	coming up to me I love it because I get to meet everybody and give everybody a hug but equally
1:33.7	as an empath that I really have to navigate my own energies around all of that too so I'm a
1:39.7	I kind of introvert but very happy as an extrovert when I'm online because I could be in my own
1:44.6	space as well. You may be able to relate to some of those things too. But I just know that
1:50.9	you're here for a reason. You're listening right now and I want you to know that I take that
1:55.3	really, really seriously. But let me tell you, I wish I had a podcast like this. And I wish I
2:00.2	had someone like myself when I was
2:01.7	going through what I went through because it would probably have saved me a good few years in my
2:05.6	healing. Let me tell you. So I am glad you are here at whatever stage you are at, whoever the
