Today, I have the opportunity to sit down and talk with Stacey Sanderson, a seasoned registered psychotherapist and published author. With over 25 years of experience, Stacey has dedicated her career to helping individuals recover from narcissistic wounding.

In this episode, we discuss the complexities of narcissistic relationships, the impact on mental health, and Stacey's unique, heart-centered approach to regaining power and identity. We also discuss her new book "Heart Wide Open" and explore her five pillars of recovery that provide a holistic road map for healing after difficult relationships.

Stacey's Five Pillars of Recovery framework for healing from narcissistic abuse include:

- Awareness - understanding oneself.

- Knowledge - integrating personal knowledge with an understanding of toxic behaviors.

- Changing Patterns - recognizing and altering early conditioning.

- Energy, Power, and Boundaries - safeguarding one's energy and establishing boundaries.

- Living Authentically - reclaiming and owning your personal power.

For anyone navigating the complexities of dealing with narcissistic relationships or post-divorce recovery, this episode provides invaluable insights and practical advice.
