Healing the Limbic and Autonomic Nervous System
Narcissistic abuse, with its relentless gaslighting and manipulation, leaves deep imprints on your limbic system, the brain’s emotional core governing survival instincts and emotions. This impacts your autonomic nervous system, affecting vital functions like heart rate, digestion, and immunity. According to the American Psychological Association, trauma stored in the body can manifest as chronic illness or emotional distress, such as CPTSD or autoimmune disorders. Our complex trauma-informed care targets these systems, addressing intergenerational trauma and survival trauma from abusive dynamics. Through somatic mindfulness and embodiment practices, we release emotional blocks, restoring vitality and autonomy stolen by manipulation.
Unique Body-Based Counselling Principles
Our approach integrates Jungian psychology, Gestalt methodology, shadow work, and relational dynamics to heal narcissistic abuse wounds:
- Psychosomatic Counselling: We target emotional memories in your limbic system, processing core wounds from gaslighting and invalidation, as supported by Psychology Today.
- Body-Based Counselling: Explore how trauma manifests physically, using somatic mindfulness to foster healing.
- Body-Based Mindfulness: Practice non-judgmental attention to your body to resolve stress, backed by the Trauma Research Foundation.
- Limbic and Nervous System Counselling: Heal systems affecting bodily health, addressing CPTSD and survival trauma for balance.
Artistic-Based Therapy for Soulful Recovery
Inspired by The Artist’s Way and Jungian theory, our art-based therapy awakens your creative life force. For empaths, older souls, or those with CPTSD, art—whether painting, writing, or movement—helps release suppressed emotions and reclaim your inner artist. This process counters the rigid mind shaped by narcissistic control, fostering self-discovery and radical self-acceptance through shadow work. By bringing disowned parts into the light, we heal mental and physical ailments, restoring love and vitality.
Psychosomatic Therapy for Deep Healing
Unlike cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which focuses on the conscious mind, our psychosomatic therapy dives into the subconscious, addressing 95% of behaviours driven by unconscious patterns, as noted in neuroscience research. Narcissistic abuse often embeds intergenerational trauma or manipulative dynamics, perpetuating self-doubt. Through shadow work and somatic practices, we resolve these patterns, transforming your soul from its deepest place.
Body Mindfulness Practice
Grounded in applied neuroscience, body mindfulness invites you to observe your emotional body non-judgmentally. Using breathwork, music, sound, and natural movements, we surface repressed emotions from CPTSD or narcissistic abuse, unblocking energy channels for health and balance, as supported by Somatic Experiencing International.
Holistic and Creative Treatment
Our holistic framework integrates mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health. For chronic illnesses like autoimmune disorders, we combine healing food plans, somatic mindfulness, and spiritual perspectives. As a master’s-prepared nurse and licensed mental health counsellor, I craft individualized plans using Gestalt methodology, relational healing, and creative expression (e.g., writing, dance) to release trapped energy and restore purpose.
Faith-Based or Secular Options
Choose a Christian faith-based approach, emphasizing God’s love and grace, or a secular, evidence-based path rooted in neuroscience. Both honour your unique needs, guiding you toward a soul-aligned life, whether in Toronto or virtually worldwide.

Therapy Specialties: Support for Your Healing Journey
Heal CPTSD, Mend Narcissistic Somatic Trauma Symptoms. At True Health Counselling, I’m a holistic nurse psychotherapist offering complex trauma-informed care through The Integrative Somatic Trauma Healing Approach—a psychosomatic, mindfulness-based framework with Gestalt therapy and a faith-based lens. Specializing in CPTSD, BPD, narcissistic somatic symptoms, psychosomatic disorders, and immune dysfunction, I guide faith-oriented clients to authentic healing, safe relationships, and coming home to their souls. If you’re struggling with trauma, emotional overwhelm, or unhealthy relationship patterns, you’re not alone. My expertise in borderline personality disorder, complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), codependency, narcissistic abuse, and Christian counselling can help you feel seen, heard, and empowered. Let’s explore how we can work together to support your path to healing.
Borderline Personality Disorder Therapy
Living with borderline personality disorder (BPD) can feel like an emotional storm—intense feelings, fear of abandonment, or struggles with self-worth. My approach uses evidence-based techniques like Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) to help you find emotional balance and build healthier relationships. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) notes BPD is treatable, and I’m here to guide you toward emotional stability and self-validation.
Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) Therapy
CPTSD, often from prolonged trauma such as narcissistic abuse, can leave you feeling constantly anxious, depressed, disconnected, overwhelmed, or trapped in shame. You might face frequent hypervigilance or struggle to trust. Using the Integrative Somatic Trauma Healing Approach, I help you process trauma and rebuild safety within yourself. The American Psychological Association (APA) highlights that trauma-focused therapy reduces CPTSD symptoms, and my holistic methods support your recovery.
Codependency Therapy
Do you caretake others’ emotional needs over your own, even when it drains you? Codependency can lock you into unhealthy patterns, making boundaries feel impossible. My therapy helps you recognize these habits, help you break out of feeling guilt-tripped, and break free from trauma bonds within relationships. Psychology Today explains that codependency therapy can transform how you connect with yourself and others.
Narcissistic Personality Disorder/Narcissistic Abuse Therapy
Narcissistic abuse—from a parent, partner, or others—can leave you feeling unworthy, dissociated, or lost. My somatic-focused therapy helps you heal narcissistic somatic symptoms, set boundaries, and reclaim your sense of self. The Mayo Clinic notes how narcissistic behaviour impacts relationships, and I’m here to help you break free.
Christian Counselling
For faith-oriented clients, Christian counselling offers a safe space to explore challenges through a trauma-informed and spiritual lens. I blend biblical principles with the Integrative Somatic Trauma Healing Approach to address emotional pain and relationship struggles. The American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) underscores the power of faith-based therapy for holistic healing.
