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.

💬 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.
