Caroline Strawson is fired up in this episode of The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast. She dives into the limitations of traditional talk therapy when it comes to healing trauma and narcissistic abuse. Caroline passionately argues for a holistic approach that combines cognitive processing with somatic and nervous system-based therapies. Drawing from her personal journey and professional experiences, she shares how methods like EMDR, brain spotting, and breathwork have been game-changers for her and her clients.
