I had so much fun talking to Brenda.  She has a wealth of knowledge to share with you.  Brenda Stephens MS, LPCC is a group practice owner in San Diego, CA where she and her colleagues provide individual and group therapy to those who have been impacted by a relationship with a narcissist. Brenda uses a thorough understanding of PTSD and Complex PTSD along with EMDR and Parts Work (IFS) to help clients understand, and recover from the lasting complications of being in a relationship with a narcissist. She provides training to other therapists to expand their knowledge and understanding of narcissistic abuse which is uniquely insidious and cruel. Brenda helps clients heal from the abuse they have endured and teaches them how to love themselves, reclaim their identities, and create healthy relationships.

Welcome everyone to the very first episode of “Hope After Narcissistic Abuse.” I am your host Amy and this episode is an introduction of what this podcast is about. A little bit about me and who I am, I work as a therapist in private practice. Our practice is grounded in Hope. We know that Hope is one of the main predictors in successful treatment.  I want you to find the hope in recovery.  If you do not have this yet, it is okay. I have it for you.  I have been where you are. Not only that, I have worked with countless women in the same place.  Over the years, I have observed similar patterns in both my clients and in the narcissists in their lives.  Why is this important?  It has provided a framework to help you achieve a life filled with joy, hope, and happiness.  Yes, it takes work.  However, I promise that you will not have a single day working toward recovery that will be more difficult than the pain that comes with living with narcissistic abuse.  I am trained as a trauma therapist using a somatic experiencing approach.  I also work in forensics, parent coordination, child and adolescent trauma, eating disorders, and legal matters.  My greatest joy is being a mom and being able to live an independent life.  I am excited to share the wisdom of many experts with you, including the wisdom of others in recovery and experts on trauma recovery and healthy relationships.  Thank you for tuning in!
