Unpacking Stage 1 of Shannon Thomas’s Stages of Recovery into Practical Mindful Steps

This podcast is for those who have just experienced sudden abandonment or frenzied flight from a partner they believe might be a narcissist or sociopath.

Traditionally, there are thought to be three stages to trauma recovery across the spectrum of survivors of rape, domestic abuse, torture, and combat. The first stage is restoration of safety. The second stage is remembrance and mourning. The third stage is reconnection with ordinary life………

Start basic self-care immediately. Go wherever you can feel safe. Take care not to abandon yourself at this early stage. Allow time for self-compassionate, self-soothing practices.
