In this episode of Out of Crazytown: Your Guide to Divorcing a Narcissist, Jackie sits down with trauma therapist Jessica Dineen to talk about one of the hardest parts of healing after emotional abuse: learning to trust yourself again.

After gaslighting, post-separation abuse, or years of living in a high-conflict relationship, many survivors are left questioning their instincts, decisions, and even their own reality. Jessica explains why leaving doesn’t always feel like freedom, how trauma can keep the nervous system stuck in survival mode, and what can help rebuild self-trust.

They also explore EMDR, parts work, nervous system healing, and why recovery often begins when the focus shifts away from understanding the narcissist and back toward reconnecting with yourself.
