Uncovering Narcissism: The Impact of Toxic Relational Stress on the Brain and Mental Health with Licensed Clinical Therapist Shahla Nikpour

Hello and Welcome! Today we are so grateful to have Toxic Relational Stress Therapist Shahla Nikpour on the podcast! She tells us about the post narcissism recovery process that not many understand how to fully express. Through deepening your spiritual practices, activating your forgiveness muscle, and connecting with sacred friendships, your healing journey might just encourage a smoother sense of integration and understanding of your consciousness. We also get a science lesson by learning about the brain, rewiring neuroplasticity, the role of the amygdala, and the art of relearning to trust yourself post narcissist trauma.

Shahla Nikpour (@PhoenixThrivingTherapy on Instagram) is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in toxic relational stress therapy, and Shahla offers guidance to those that need support with the aftermath of a toxic relationship including narcissistic recovery, and she also provides telehealth support as well.

Shahla has a special event coming out next month on November 8th called: Dismantling the Holiday Hype: Empowerment for First-Gen Immigrants. Let's break down the pressure of holiday expectations to celebrate in our own way!
