You are not wrong for feeling drawn to go back to them.
You are not wrong for almost believing the things they say to you

Why is it so tempting to go back to the narcissist when you’ve finally managed to get away?

I need you to recognise that nothing has changed. Everything they say to you once you’ve left is part of their manipulation to try to get you back. You’ve cut off their narcissistic supply and they don’t know how to live without it.

The reason you want to go back is that you’ve been stuck in a cycle of abuse that has literally altered the neurochemicals in your brain. You have become ADDICTED to the way they make you feel!

You can’t help feeling tempted. You’re dealing with a PHYSIOLOGICAL ADDICTION and you need to break that trauma bond so that you can heal.

I know it is hard. I know it can feel hopeless. You have the power to do it. I felt so helpless when I separated from my ex-husband, but I have made it through to the other side. 

I love you ❤️

I won’t be like that this time…💔

I’ve changed 😔

You understand the biology of the physiological addiction
You can lift the shame and guilt of the struggle to break the trauma bond
You understand that this is not your fault.
You can forgive yourself for staying with them for so long despite feeling like you should leave.
You have found your way back to yourself and you’re exploring and enjoying life again.
You have minimal contact with the narcissist. You don’t get activated when they call, because they can’t call. They are completely, 100%, out of your life.

So, how does this future sound?

SEND ME THE MASTERCLASS

Your relationship with a narcissist will have had spectacular highs. They make sure that the good days are everything you’ve ever wanted out of a relationship, and that’s what gets you stuck in their cycle of abuse.

If things were bad 24/7, leaving them would be easier. Never thinking about them again would be a simple choice. But it’s not.

Because when they’re having a bad day and they’re gaslighting you, manipulating you, belittling you, it’s easy to justify their behaviour. You see it as a reflection of yourself or something that you’ve done and, deep within yourself, you know that if you hold out long enough, things will be fantastic again.

Do you see how easy it is to get stuck, enjoying the good days and living through the bad ones until better things come around again?

In my FREE masterclass, I’m going to teach you the neuroscience behind these trauma bonds so that you understand how we become ADDICTED to the way the narcissist makes us feel.

When you have this understanding, you can begin to break down this trauma bond and move on with your life.

Here’s the thing…

I’ll be talking about:

The Narcissistic Cycle of Abuse
The neuroscience behind the addiction
Steps you can take to break the trauma bond
Life after the narcissist and where you can find support

I’ll share with you some actionable strategies that you can use to navigate life after the narcissist

IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT THAT YOU COULDN’T GET AWAY, OR THAT YOU WENT BACK.
THIS IS DIFFICULT, BUT IT’S NOT IMPOSSIBLE.

  • Unworthy or like you’re not enough.
  • Guilty for leaving the narcissist or guilty that you feel tempted to go back.
  • Lost about what to do next.
  • Alone or as if no one understands what you’re going through

I don’t want you to feel…

I SEE YOU. I HEAR YOU. WE HEAL TOGETHER.
I promise you, you will get through this.

I know that when you attend this masterclass, you’ll feel seen. You’ll understand that you’re not alone and you’re doing incredibly well dealing with a difficult situation.

You’ll leave the masterclass with a deep understanding of trauma bonds and what you need to do to break the one you have with the narcissist and move forward with your life.

Hello, I’m Caroline Strawson, a multi-award winning ICF Accredited Trauma Informed Therapist & Coach and founder of The ICF and CPD Accredited School of Embodied Trauma Informed Living.

I may be all that, but I am, first and foremost, human. Just like you.

In 2010, I experienced a series of life changing traumatic events. My mum, who was my rock, died very suddenly, and my husband walked out on me and our two children.

I was left with over £70,000 ($100,000) worth of debt and at that time, I didn’t even realise I’d been the victim of narcissistic abuse. I was at rock bottom, a shell of myself.

Eventually, I was diagnosed with complex PTSD, and realised that I was suffering from depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and self harm. All the while thinking “How could an intelligent woman like myself, with a medical background, find herself in this situation!?!”

I felt alone, isolated, and in a very dark place. No one seemed to understand what I was going through, and the more I seemed to talk about the (narcissistic) abuse I suffered, the more I felt misunderstood. This just perpetuated my feelings of not feeling worthy or good enough.

The truth is, I needed someone who understood my trauma, but that person didn’t exist. Since then, I’ve worked with so many clients who tell me how hard it is to find someone that just ‘gets it’. Someone who understands what they’ve been through and has the tools to help them heal.

My personal journey with abuse, trauma and healing, paired with my background in neuroscience and professional coaching experience, inspired me to take this path to educate people like you so that you can understand how your experiences have impacted you and how you can heal.
