If you're new here I have NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) and I've been in therapy for the last 8 years learning how to deal with it and live a better life. From the start I've offered you the rare POV of a diagnosed narcissist but NOW I'm switching it up a little bit. I'm interviewing others that are dealing with their own mental health journeys and those that have dealt with toxic relationship dynamics as well. I'm still sharing my POV just sharing others as well.

In this powerful and eye-opening episode, host Lee Hammock sits down with nervous system and trauma specialist Dr. Nima Rahmany to uncover the deep somatic connection between emotional boundary violations and chronic illness. Dr. Nima breaks down the reality of somatic healing, explaining why traditional talk therapies often fail to reach the deep-seated emotional charges trapped inside the physical body. Together, they explore the hidden paradox of self-improvement, revealing how mainstream personal development can frequently stem from a place of self-hate rather than authentic self-acceptance. Dr. Nima maps out how a childhood history of not feeling seen forces individuals into protective habits like extreme codependency or defensive grandiosity. You will learn how swallowing your truth to maintain relationships creates internal inflammation, directly triggering autoimmune issues and physical exhaustion. Dr. Nima shares actionable insights from his Trigger Proof methodology, demonstrating how to transition your relationship with core shame from a state of constant warfare into an elegant dance of self-compassion. Whether you are looking to break free from chronic physical tension, heal attachment wounds, or master the art of relationship repair, this conversation provides a necessary guide to becoming your own medicine.
