A while back, a client reached out to me at the very early stages of our working relationship and said, “According to Google, you are a scientist and researcher, how did you pivot into this work?”

And when I shared my journey with her, she said I should share it with my listeners because people seem to be afraid to step into the unknown.

People seem to be afraid to step into what is calling them from the within, from their soul and they tend to stick with what is acceptable in society.

In this episode, I want to first take you on a personal journey—one that began in places I never expected and led me to work I never imagined I’d be doing.

Life has a way of rerouting us… sometimes through loss, heartbreak, or moments we thought we’d never recover from.

And if you’ve ever wondered why healing after emotional abuse can feel like such an uphill climb even with therapy, you’re not alone.

Because here’s the truth: therapy alone isn’t enough to fully reclaim yourself after emotional abuse.

It can help you survive—but survival is not the finish line. In the second part of episode, I’ll reveal the missing link that turns recovery into something far greater.

It’s the difference between patching up the pieces and thriving—not because of what broke you, but despite it.

This is where the real transformation begins.

There comes a moment when you stop trying to figure out what they did —and start asking: “What do I believe now?”

In this episode, we’re not focused on the abuser. We’re focused on you — and how to reclaim the reality that was taken, twisted, or silenced.

We’ll talk about what gets in the way — like rationalization, the stories we tell to survive...and intellectualization, where we stay in our heads to avoid feeling what hurts.

And then, we’ll begin to explore the deeper shift—the kind of shift that doesn’t just change how you think…but how you feel in your body, how you see the moment, and how you finally start to trust yourself again.

This episode is a map home. Not to the past — but to your own clarity.

Let’s begin.

The first puzzle piece in healing from gaslighting and cognitive dissonance is understanding the core template of a narcissist, which is who they truly are beneath the charm, the chaos, and the illusion.

Not the version they sold you. Not the mask. But the actual inner blueprint—the narcissistic template that runs on repeat.

And when you see it clearly, stripped of all the theater and emotional debris… something shifts.

• You STOP taking their cruelty personally.
• You STOP trying to make sense of NONSENSE.
• You STOP dancing with delusion.

Up to this point you have taken what the narcissist did as PERSONAL. By the end of this conversation, you will realize how IMPERSONAL their actions are.

Because what you’ve been internalizing all these years?

Was never about YOU.

It was always their broken algorithm.

Their distorted lens.

By the end of this episode, my hope is that you’ll feel something priceless: RELIEF, CLARITY, AND FREEDOM.

You stop focusing on the narcissist, and you focus on you so that the real work of individuation and coming home to yourself can begin.
