This blog focuses on surviving and healing after enduring narcissistic or other forms of emotional or psychological abuse. This type of abuse leaves no obvious signs on the body – no bruises or scars. However the damage inflicted on victims is very real and we struggle with issues such as negative self talk, low self esteem and other challenges for the rest of our lives. However there is hope and it is possible to heal and move on to living a happy and fulfilling life.
