In this episode of 'Heal from within after Narcissistic Abuse,' Danish Bashir dives into the complex world of reactive abuse.

Danish stresses the need to leave the toxic environment to stabilize your nervous system and regain your sense of self. He also touches on the importance of self-forgiveness, reminding listeners that these reactions are not a choice but a survival instinct.
