Heal After Narcissistic Abuse with EFT Tapping

Come Home to Yourself After the Chaos

When you’ve lived through manipulation, gaslighting, or emotional control, even simple things - trusting your feelings, setting boundaries, or feeling safe in your body - can feel impossible.

You’ve done the work: therapy, journaling, boundaries, no contact. And yet the discomfort remains - the anxiety when your phone buzzes, the guilt when you say no, the whisper that asks, “Maybe it was me?”

You were never the problem.

If you’ve ever wondered why you can’t just “move on,” you’re not alone. Healing after narcissistic abuse isn’t about forgetting - it’s about retraining your nervous system to feel safe again and reclaiming the self you lost while trying to survive.

That’s exactly what EFT Tapping helps you do.

Why Healing Feels So Hard

Years of gaslighting and emotional invalidation don’t just live in your mind — they live in your body.

Your nervous system learned to stay alert, to stay protected, and to keep the peace at any cost.
That survival pattern doesn’t vanish when the relationship ends.

You can understand the problem and still feel trapped inside it - which is why traditional talk therapy alone often isn’t enough. To truly heal, the body needs to know it’s safe.

What It Feels Like After Narcissistic Abuse

Even after leaving, you might:

  • Feel anxious or on edge - waiting for the next shoe to drop
  • Overthink every interaction or apologize too much
  • Feel “too much” and “not enough” at once
  • Doubt your intuition and perceptions or second-guess your memories
  • Carry guilt, shame, or emotional flashbacks
  • Grieve the person you thought they were, while missing the “good moments."
  • Feel numb, exhausted, or disconnected from yourself. Wonder if you’ll ever stop feeling this way

These are not character flaws. They are normal responses to prolonged emotional trauma. Your nervous system has been trying to protect you - EFT helps it finally relax, separate what’s yours from what’s theirs, and rebuild safety from within.

From Surviving to Feeling Safe Again

Narcissistic abuse creates a cycle of idealization, devaluation, and discard that leaves the brain in chronic stress. The amygdala stays on high alert, while the rational mind goes offline — so even when you know what happened, you still feel hooked or guilty.

Through EFT, we gently rewire these survival patterns.
As your body releases fear and hypervigilance, clarity returns:

  • Emotional flashbacks ease.
  • Boundaries feel natural.
  • You make decisions from peace, not guilt.
  • You breathe deeply. You rest. You feel enough.

This is what nervous system repair looks like - not perfection, but safety.

How EFT Supports Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

EFT Tapping combines gentle acupressure with mindful awareness to calm the stress response and release stored emotion.

Research shows tapping helps:

  • Calm the amygdala, reducing fight-or-flight reactivity
  • Lower cortisol while increasing serotonin and endorphins
  • Reprocess traumatic memories safely (memory reconsolidation)
  • Restore a felt sense of safety and empowerment
  • Reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression

Each session tells your body:

“You’re safe now. You don’t have to brace anymore.”
When your body feels safe, your heart and mind can finally heal.

Integrating the Higher Purpose of Pain

Healing from narcissistic abuse isn’t just recovery - it’s rebirth.

Together, we’ll restore your nervous system and emotional resilience while honoring the deeper invitation your pain carries: to come home to truth, dignity, and wholeness.

Your pain isn’t meaningless - it is the teacher leading you home.

What Becomes Possible

When your body remembers what peace feels like:

  • Boundaries become second nature
  • Self-criticism softens
  • Emotions become information, not threats
  • Relationships feel reciprocal, not draining
  • You feel at home within yourself

Healing isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about writing a new story where you are no longer defined by it.

About Me.

Hi, I’m Jen - a trauma-informed EFT Practitioner, wife, and homeschooling mom who helps people feel at home within themselves again.

When I accidentally discovered that what I’d been living was the aftermath of narcissistic abuse, my entire world shifted. I had no idea how much of who I had become as an adult was a reaction to being raised by a narcissist. My own deep healing through trauma-informed EFT taught me that peace, compassion, and self-trust are possible, no matter how deep the pain and conditioning are.

Now I help others do the same - gently, collaboratively, and at the pace their nervous system can handle.

What You’ll Gain Through Tapping

  • A sense of safety in your own body
  • Freedom from toxic shame and self-blame
  • Clarity about family or relationship dynamics
  • Tools to calm anxiety and emotional triggers
  • Confidence to set boundaries and trust yourself

Begin Your Return to Yourself

You don’t have to face this alone. Your body already knows how to heal - it just needs safety and support to remember.

“Jenny is the most non-judgmental, safe space I've ever known. I've been working for 20+ years to figure out "what's wrong with me"....I'd started to believe I'd have to accept my anxiety, depression, uncomfortable and unhealthy norms and thought patterns. Thanks to Jenny, I am now in a place I would have never thought possible. I will never be able to thank her enough for all she's done for me...it's like I'm meeting myself for the first time.”

 — Fran D.

“To say that EFT work with Jenny has been life-changing feels like the world's biggest understatement. I've always felt like there was something out there that when I found it, it would just click- and this is it. This is the missing piece that's allowed me to heal faster than talking alone has ever done. I'm still amazed at some of the things I'm learning about myself, and the peace and physical relief from pain/tension have felt almost magical." 

 — Jamie M.

“My experience with Jen's EFT tapping sessions have been remarkable! I have been struggling with anxiety and it was taking over my life year after year. My mental health was crumbling in front of my eyes and it felt like I had no control over it until I met Jen. I can truly say opening up and tapping with Jen has saved my life. I am so grateful for all the tools she has given me to combat anxiety and intrusive thinking. I cannot say this enough times, she is truly a one-of-a-kind practitioner.”

 — Justin O.
