March 18, 2018April 6, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Mental Awareness show with Sara Troy with her guest Steve Andrews, on air from March 27th

For far too long, the Autism story has focused entirely on the challenges, but that’s only half the story. With a proper understanding of Autism, we gain understanding and tools to help Autistic people find their own individual success with their unique strengths and gifts and talents. It’s time to tell the whole story.

Steve brings inspiration and connects the dots through a practical understanding of Autism and Neurodiversity. Steve is a successful software engineer with over eighteen years of experience and a four-time Microsoft MVP Award recipient. Steve is a powerful speaker who has spoken at over 150 events across North America.

TSM18-10 Recovering from Narcissist Abuse PRT 3

March 2, 2018November 17, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guests Anouska and Sarah Squires, on air from March 13th

In our first show in this series, we covered the Narcissist in a relationship, our second on Children of Narcissist parents. This time is how to recover from the abuse of a narcissist, Sociopath or Psychopath.

We feel that we will never recover from such emotional and crippling abuse, or how to escape from their clutches, but recovery and freedom can be found, you just need help along the way.

Anouska and Sarah will share their expertise on how to recover from a Narcissistic experience and gain our own empowerment back by embracing our self-worth and learning to love our selves unconditionally.

First, how do we identify, the tel-tale signs? Anouska shares the types here.

We can even break it down further into classes. Taking the criteria for Narcissism from the DSM-IV, we can classify them as showing a tendency to exaggerate certain behaviours more than others. For instance, some will embellish their accomplishments, while others may be consumed with the concept of finding romantic love, and others might be more interested in behaving in duplicitous ways, conning and using others. Here is the list of behaviours, some of which tend to be more dominant than others.

Exaggerate their accomplishments
Obsessed with their uniqueness
Consumed with finding romantic love
Excessive entitlement behaviours
Devious and exploitative
Obsessed with fame and success
Believe they should get special treatment
Behave in a selfish and uncaring manner
Cannot relate to others feelings and desires
Behave in an envious or jealous manner
Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner
Excessively concerned with how they are perceived by others
Excessive need to have high-status friends or other status symbols to impress others.

Why type of narcissist do you/did you have in your life?

Sarah from The Nurturing Coach says

When I was experiencing narcissistic abuse and parental alienation, I wanted someone who understands and helped me to find myself again. I couldn’t find anyone with this expertise so, once I felt stronger, I decided to use my experience as a social worker and retrain as an NLP Practitioner.

I help victims of narcissistic parental abuse and parental alienation to deal with the trauma of their experience and give them the skills to protect their children from the ongoing abuse at the hands of their own parent. As an ex-social worker, protecting children is at the heart of all that I do. Whether that be adult children of narcissistic parents or parents trying to co-parent with a narcissist.

TSM18-09 Victims of Narcissistic Parental Abuse Prt 2

February 20, 2018September 4, 2023Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Sarah Squires, on air from February 27th

Over 26,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with having a severe personality disorder and 60-70% of all child abuses feature a parent with a severe personality disorder. And those figures are based on diagnosed patients and reported abuse cases. The real numbers are likely to be scarily higher. So hundreds of thousands of children are being raised by disordered parents, all of whom are at risk of abuse and long-term harm.

My name is Sarah Squires, founder of The Nurturing Coach brand, and I help victims of narcissistic parental abuse and parental alienation to deal with the trauma of their experience and give them the skills to protect their children from the ongoing abuse at the hands of their own parent. As an ex-social worker, protecting children is at the heart of all that I do. Whether that be adult children of narcissistic parents or parents trying to co-parent with a narcissist.

Having experienced narcissistic parental abuse and parental alienation, I understand how lonely, frustrating and devastating it can be. And I want to help. I also run a training consultancy to train professionals working with children and families to recognise the signs of disordered parenting (in particular narcissism) and how to intervene in a more effective way. This is part of the “wrap-around care” approach I have to tackling these issues. You can’t treat the problem without working with those who play their role as flying monkeys!

I am really excited to be talking to Sara Troy about my work and I hope you will join us here

TSM 18-08 Narcissistic, Sociopathic and Psychopathic Relationships PRT 1

February 17, 2018July 21, 2024Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Their Story Matters with Sara Troy and her guest Anoushka, on air from February 20th

Relationships, the forever rolling of the dice, who will we get? how do we know how to recognise narcissistic, sociopathic and psychopathic person and how do we get out of a relationship of abuse?

All this will be spoken about here in a 3 part series on emotional abuse and how it affects our selves, our children and any future relationships.

Anoushka is the founder of Balance Psychologies a brand where recovery and wellbeing are at the heart of everything I do. I am a trainee psychologist and my specialism is in narcissistic, sociopathic and psychopathic relationships.

I am also the writer of Balance Psychologies blog. Since December 2015 I have been using my blog and YouTube videos to help others transform their lives and understand the shady and crippling effects of being in a relationship with someone with a narcissistic personality disorder. After sharing my own experiences of a 7-year relationship with an individual with a narcissistic personality disorder, I realised I wasn’t alone in my feelings and experiences, there were many others that have suffered at the hands of a narcissist. Ever since I have been driving my insights into empowering survivors, tips and tools to help individuals get out of this traumatic abuse and realise that none of this was their fault but to realise that they are wonderful and special individuals with a big heart – that needs to be protected.
