Navigating the fallout...

Sharon Nicholson, online trauma therapist UK

Brainspotting - anxiety, trauma, narcissistic abuse

Healing after narcissistic abuse & antagonistic relationships

Narcissistic abuse is trauma, and we know that time alone does not heal trauma.


I know the pain of narcissistic abuse and the ensuing fallout firsthand, and I’ve dedicated my work to helping others recover and heal from its deep impact - no matter how long ago your experiences were.


With specialist training in Complex PTSD, PTSD therapy, and narcissistic trauma recovery, I offer steady, powerful somatic trauma-informed support - a space where you can begin to understand, release, rebuild and gently reconnect with your True Self - at your pace.


You might be feeling…


  • Ashamed or guilty for staying, hoping, or leaving


  • Emotionally drained, anxious, or still walking on eggshells


  • Isolated or unsure who to trust


  • Disconnected from your voice, identity, or sense of worth


  • Angry, sad, or grieving the person you thought you were or the life you imagined


  • Stuck in patterns of self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or procrastination


  • Creatively blocked and held back from pursuing your goals and dreams 



No matter how long ago your experiences were, or where you are in this process, your feelings are valid, and deep healing is possible.



Understanding what happened

We can experience narcissistic abuse in childhood and adulthood, and within many kinds of relationships - from parents and family members to partners, close friends, and even in the workplace. 


The fallout can feel like a fog of grief, anger, or uncertainty - your body and mind may still be on high alert, desperate to make sense of it all -  these unseen wounds can heal.


Abuse of any kind is NEVER your fault.



What you may need right now

You don’t need to have it all figured out right now, but "why?" is often a natural and burning question.


Healing starts with:


  • A safe space to be seen and heard without judgment


  • Validation for your experiences and feelings


  • Time and support to reconnect with yourself, your instincts, and your voice


  • Tools to feel calmer, safer, and more grounded


  • Gentle help to untangle and release self-blame, self-doubt, and survival patterns



Healing through therapy with Brainspotting doesn’t mean having to relive the past - it’s about releasing the imprints in your nervous system, reclaiming yourself, learning to trust again, and finding your own power.



You still feel stuck

The highs and lows of the relationship can change the way your brain responds to stress and connection, which is why the pull to stay connected can feel so strong, even after it’s over (the trauma bond).


Even when your mind knows the truth, your nervous system can hold on to the old patterns. 


That’s where Brainspotting can help. Brainspotting is a gentle therapy that helps your brain process the pain and stress that got “stuck” during those experiences. By working with eye positions that connect to where those memories and feelings are held, your body gets the chance to release them - in a safe and natural way.


Many people find that with Brainspotting:


  • The powerful pull towards the abusive person begins to ease


  • The emptiness or fear softens over time


  • Feelings of guilt or shame shift into self-understanding and compassion


  • A stronger sense of safety, peace, and self-worth gradually returns



Healing a trauma bond isn’t about willpower - it’s about helping your system let go of survival patterns it no longer needs.


With the right support, you can step out of the shadow of the past and move forward with more freedom, clarity, and strength.


Choose your path

There’s no “right” place to start. Healing can begin right here, exactly as you are.


You get to choose how you heal - An Intensive or individual sessions are both routes that can help you step into the freedom of remembering who you truly are.


You are not too much, you are not too late, and you do not have to do this alone.
