Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

Overcoming the Impact

Online Course + Live Coaching for Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

Regain clarity. Reclaim your voice. Rebuild your life.

Narcissistic abuse has a way of making you doubt your reality. Whether it showed up in a relationship, your family, or even a work environment, the effects linger — self-doubt, confusion, anxiety, and sometimes that question in the back of your mind: Was it really that bad?

At VitalMinds, we created this program because we’ve seen the toll this kind of emotional abuse can take. And we also know — healing is absolutely possible.

🌱 What the Program Includes

This is not just a therapy group. It’s a blended program designed for survivors who want professional guidance, structured tools, and community support — without pressure or judgment.

🧠 Online Course (On-Demand)

  • Understand narcissistic abuse and how it affects your mind and body

  • Learn how gaslighting and emotional manipulation operate over time

  • Tools to regulate your nervous system, improve sleep, and manage flashbacks

  • Rebuild identity, increase self-trust, and set boundaries that hold

🤝 Live Coaching with a Therapist

  • Weekly group coaching calls (with Laurie or a licensed therapist)

  • Gentle structure + practical exercises (you can always listen in quietly)

  • Worksheets, journal prompts, and nervous system resets

  • Optional small-group peer support

📥 Digital Tools & Resources

  • Guided meditations and grounding techniques

  • Recommended reading and bonus expert content

👥 This Program Is For You If…

✔ You’ve experienced gaslighting, emotional neglect, or cycles of devaluation

✔ You want support from someone who gets it — not just “toxic relationship” memes

✔ You’ve tried moving on but still feel stuck in shame, doubt, or anxiety

✔ You’re ready to feel confident again — and build healthy connections moving forward

💬 Why I Created This

“After years of working with survivors in therapy, I wanted to create something that people could access from anywhere — at their own pace, in a safe space, with real tools and real support. You shouldn’t have to navigate this alone.”

Laurie Groh, MS, LPC, SAS, founder of VitalMinds

💬 FAQ

Q: Is this therapy or a course?

A: It’s both. You get a self-paced course, live therapist-led coaching, and an optional peer support group. You can be as engaged (or quiet) as you like.

Q: Is this private and safe?

A: Yes. All coaching calls are confidential, and you’ll never be asked to share more than you’re comfortable with.

Q: Do I have to talk during the live sessions?

A: Nope. Many participants just listen in — and still get so much out of it.

Q: I’m in therapy already. Can I still join?

A: Yes — many participants do this alongside individual therapy. If you’re looking for a therapist, our counseling team can also help.

FAQs


Q: What steps can I take to recover from the trauma of narcissistic abuse?
A: To heal from the trauma of narcissistic abuse, focus on self-care practices such as monitoring your stress levels, ensuring you get sufficient sleep, maintaining a healthy diet, and engaging in activities you enjoy. Reconnect with supportive and positive individuals in your life, incorporate physical activity into your routine, and apply coping strategies learned in therapy to manage your relationships effectively.

Q: How does enduring narcissistic abuse affect the brain?
A: Suffering from long-term narcissistic abuse can lead to alterations in the brain, which may manifest as cognitive decline and memory issues. These changes can further heighten the likelihood of experiencing chronic stress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and behaviors that undermine oneself.

Q: Is there a free program available to help individuals recover from narcissistic abuse?
A: Yes, MyNARA offers a unique 12-phase program called NarcArmor™ designed to assist victims of narcissistic abuse. You can subscribe to their app for free and gain access to the Recovery Toolkit, which provides a secure platform to compile evidence such as journal entries, photographs, voice recordings, and videos.

Q: What is the expected timeline for the brain to recover from narcissistic abuse?
A: The healing process from narcissistic abuse varies, ranging from several months to years, depending on individual circumstances. However, with appropriate support, self-care measures, and professional guidance, survivors can successfully reclaim their lives and work towards a more hopeful future. It's important to remember that recovery is achievable and that you're not alone on this path to healing.
