In today’s episode, I hear Devena Simon’s story of how she navigated her healing journey from being in a relationship with a narcissist. In this new series, I will be having conversations with people who have survived narcissistic abuse. My hope is that I can bring you examples of what happens within narcissistic relationships so that you can know how to react and survive if you happen to experience the same things.  What you will learn in this episode: What reactive abuse is and how it played a part in Devena suffering from trauma How to deal with financial abuse Lessons to convert post narcissistic trauma to post-trauma growth  Devena describes how her high school sweetheart turned into her narcissist. We’ll discover the warning signs that she wished she had seen when she first met her boyfriend, and she’ll share how she has managed to live a better life by healing from her narcissistic trauma. Devena hopes that her experience with a narcissist can help you avoid the same pitfalls, whilst mending bridges and rebuilding your life.    Connect with Devena: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unspilled_tea/   Resources:   Join my FREE Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/thriveafternarcissisticabuse   Access my low cost Narcissistic Trauma Recovery Programme https://go.carolinestrawson.com/heal-the-trauma-of-narcissistic-abuse   Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinestrawson/   Find me on TikTok!: https://www.tiktok.com/@carolinestrawson    My website: https://www.carolinestrawson.com/   Become an ACCREDITED & CERTIFIED NARCISSISTIC TRAUMA INFORMED COACH: https://go.carolinestrawson.com/NTICC3
