Emotional Abuse Is Real
Healing From Narcissistic Abuse With Catherine Castillo
On today’s episode, I welcome narcissistic abuse survivor Catherine Castillo. A global citizen with a passion for life, Catherine recently ended a year-and-a-half-long abusive relationship. Although Catherine has lived in Sweden for four years, we recorded our interview while she was back in the U.S., focusing on her healing journey.
Despite being out of her toxic relationship for only a month, Catherine offered a huge amount of nuanced perspective for her fellow survivors.
