Shame Seals Your Mouth Shut

Having been lucky and growing up in a loving, healthy family environment, one may be surprised that Caroline entered a Narcissistic relationship and stayed there for 16 years!

 

The marriage did not start out this way, but there were early warning signs that became glaringly obvious as more time passed. Despite her husband’s abusive behaviour and the damage being done, she stayed. She became a shadow of her former happy, confident self and barely recognised herself.

 

Eventually, she found a very courageous part of herself that she grabbed onto, broke herself free and walked away, starting life again in her forties.

 

Caroline shares her journey with heartfelt honesty, warmth and transparency, providing insights, tools she used to find her own way and the red flags to look out for.

 

You can do it too!

THE INVISIBLE GIRL

You can read my full story here, from when I was ten years old and what happened to me. I was admitted to a psychiatric unit at fifteen and continued to suffer throughout my adult life with feelings of self-hatred, fear, darkness and not knowing who I was. I used addictions to help me to cope on the outside when the inside was chaotic. I finally found my healing and had a burning desire to share this with the universe to give love, hope and inspiration to others in pain.

Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass

Anton Chekhov
