Many women who experience the trauma of abuse find themselves having difficulty processing the that trauma and pain. Meditation can help provide clarity and offer space for that processing to happen safely.

Victims of narcissistic abuse can suffer indescribable trauma: from physical symptoms like insomnia, weight loss, and chronic pain to emotional symptoms like mood swings, depression, and even suicidal ideation, narcissistic abuse leaves painful scars.

Coach Peggy from the Betrayal Trauma Recovery team joins Anne on the free BTR podcast to empower victims to try meditating as they process trauma and begin their journey to healing. Listen to the free BTR podcast and read the full transcript for more.
How Does Meditation Help Victims of Narcissistic Abuse?
Because of the notoriously insidious psychological, emotional, sexual, and physically abusive tactics that narcissistic abusers use against victims, pain and trauma can feel debilitating.

As victims learn to practice meditation, they may find that they are able to more clearly and easily process traumatic memories and then let them go.
We store our memories in our body. Journey meditation teaches this and refers to it as 'cell memories'. We hold the record of our life in our bodies and in order to really release and let go and be free and truly heal, you have to release the body, that includes the emotions.

Meditation Aids Victims of Narcissistic Abuse In Healing
Guided Meditation is really an incredible tool to be used for moving forward in life.

Coach Peggy, Betrayal Trauma Recovery
Tragically, many victims of narcissistic abuse feel trapped in trauma and struggle to believe that there will ever be a time when they will feel peace, self-worth, and safety again.

Meditation is a powerful tool in the arsenal of a victim of narcissistic abuse. It can help enable victims to set and maintain effective boundaries to protect themselves from abuse.
Feeling Triggered? Meditating Can Help
Victims of narcissistic abuse may experience significant triggers even years after the abusive relationship has ended.

Wherever you are in your healing journey, meditation can help you when you feel triggered.
The benefits have been great... It really creates calm relaxation.
