Have you noticed how leaving the narcissist didn't bring YOU back? Why you still feel blank, indecisive, and disconnected from yourself long after the relationship ended?
In this episode, Kerry and author Meg Tuohey unpack the hidden mechanics behind identity erasure after narcissistic abuse. How chronic gaslighting, control, and survival-mode living shut down your inner signal, keep your nervous system dysregulated, and keep you abandoning yourself to stay safe. It's about coherence — and how to rebuild it.
WANT TO GO DEEPER? In the exclusive podcast extra, Kerry and Meg get practical. Learn how to spot your personal coherence signals vs. dysregulation. Discover the "small things often" protocol to down-regulate, recalibrate, and return to yourself, and how the 80% rule stops perfectionism from hijacking your healing.
MEG TUOHEY is the author of Heartprint, a framework for reconnecting with inner wisdom, breaking limiting patterns, and reclaiming authentic identity after toxic relationships. Website: https://megantuohey.com/ HeartPrint: Unlock the Wisdom of You: https://link.amazon/B00KU6ghh
