Narcissistic and scapegoat abuse are distinct yet interconnected forms of trauma, each with unique biological and energetic signatures. While narcissistic abuse centers on control, manipulation, and intermittent reinforcement, scapegoat abuse involves targeted blame, wrong-making, and systemic rejection—often within family or group dynamics.
Nervous System & Metabolic Impact
Both abuses trigger chronic HPA axis activation, elevating cortisol and disrupting metabolic function:
Hypervigilance, shame, and confusion are stored in the nervous system
Fascia and organs retain trauma—fear in the gut, anger in the liver, grief in the lungs
Insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, and estrogen dominance emerge from sustained stress
Scapegoating often leads to metabolic suppression—weight gain despite restriction—due to low body temperature, high oxidative stress, and PUFA release from stored fat.
Soul Layers: Trauma in the Energetic Field
Abuse wounds the soul across layers:
Etheric Layer: Physical trauma disrupts the life-force grid, causing fatigue and pain
Emotional Layer: Gaslighting and betrayal embed toxic shame, fear, and grief as dense energy clusters
Mental Layer: False beliefs like “I’m unworthy” or “I’m the problem” become neural and energetic programs
Astral Layer: Soul fragmentation occurs—parts dissociate to survive the abuse
Causal Layer: The soul’s purpose is obscured by inherited trauma and karmic loyalty
Healing requires energetic restructuring, not just cognitive processing.
Emotional Stuckness & Energetic Feeding
Stuck emotions—anger, betrayal, grief—create low-vibrational energy fields that attract parasitic entities. These entities feed on unresolved suffering, perpetuating cycles of fear and self-sabotage.
Gaslighting and betrayal are soul crimes—violations that distort identity and sever connection to inner truth.
But the real trap? Emotional, somatic, and spiritual bypassing—the belief that avoiding "negative" emotions keeps your vibration high. This denial shames those in pain, rejects the wounded, and leaves trauma buried in the body and soul.
When we bypass, we abandon the inner parts carrying the burden. We don’t transcend pain—we trap it, making ourselves vulnerable to hijack.
True healing isn’t about positivity.
It’s about owning your emotional truth, feeling it, acknowledging your emotional energy, and freeing it.
Only then can you reclaim your power.
CPTSD and the Energetic Profile of Abuse
Both narcissistic and scapegoat abuse lead to Complex PTSD, marked by:
Nervous system dysregulation (fight, flight, freeze, fawn)
Soul fragmentation and identity loss
Energetic depletion, making victims magnetically vulnerable to further predation
This vulnerability attracts not only human predators but multidimensional parasitic entities and false light beings who feed on trauma, shame, and disempowerment.
The Predator Trap: Why We’re Drawn Back
Abuse survivors are often unconsciously drawn to predators in an attempt to resolve what’s stuck in the body and soul. Conditioned by years of gaslighting, self-trust erodes—making it hard to hear intuition and leaving the field open to:
False authority figures
Spiritual predators
Covert abusers disguised as healers or allies
This is not weakness—it’s soul-level loyalty to unresolved trauma.
Our body is not separate—it’s one layer of our multidimensional soul, interconnected through meridians and the nervous system, always communicating across energetic planes. When we dissociate—a natural survival response to overwhelm—we break trust with our body, weakening that vital connection.
Reclaiming sovereignty means coming back into the body, slowly and safely. It’s okay to go at your pace. Healing isn’t about forcing presence—it’s about rebuilding trust so your body and soul can move forward—together.
Neuroception—the subconscious system that detects safety and threat—relies on this body-soul connection. It picks up predatory cues through the nervous system, long before the conscious mind registers danger. But if we’re not in the body, we miss these warnings. The messages are there—we just can’t feel them.
That’s why we keep returning:
We’re trying to heal what’s stuck,
but we’re doing it without our most vital guide—
our embodied knowing.
Flying Monkeys and the Betrayal of the “Kind”
Flying monkeys—enablers who side with the abuser—inflict deep betrayal. When a friend or loved one agrees with the abuser and discards you, it’s not just emotional abandonment—it’s disposal, like “toilet paper flushed away.”
This lived reality of being used and disposed of devastates the nervous system, reinforcing the belief: “I am not safe. I am not worthy.”
The cost is high:
Physical collapse (fatigue, illness)
Soul fragmentation (loss of self-trust)
Energetic hemorrhage (drained by unseen forces)
It’s Not a Crime to Be a Victim
Being a victim isn’t weakness. It’s truth.
A victim is someone who has been hurt—not someone who’s “stuck” or “playing a role.”
Victim blaming is the crime.
Abusers and enablers gaslight survivors into believing their pain is a flaw. But seeking support isn’t “being a victim”—it’s being real. It's honoring the emotional truth, that human beings need support when we're hurt. It's being human.
The ones projecting “victim mentality”?
They’re often the ones afraid to face their own pain.
Real healing begins when you stop apologizing for being hurt—and start honoring your right to safety. It hurts when we realize that those we trusted for emotional support invalidate us and minimize our pain and experience instead. It hurts to realize these aren't safe people for us. It hurts to realize we've been sacrificing our own emotional truth just to feel connected to someone who was never invested in emotional reciprocity as we were. That pain is real, and we deserve to see it for what it is, and honor it.
Reclaiming Sovereignty: The Path Back to Self
You don’t have to stop abusers from abusing—but you can stop accepting it.
You don’t have to endure it to prove you’re strong.
Healing isn’t about blame.
It’s about boundaries, safety, and reclaiming your yes and no.
And you are not the problem.
The abuse is.
Tools for Healing: Reclaiming Your Power and Sovereignty
Healing from narcissistic and scapegoat abuse is not about enduring more pain—it’s about resourcing, reclaiming, and rebuilding.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) helps release trauma stored in the nervous system, restoring regulation and safety in the body.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) allows you to meet and heal the wounded parts of you—without shame or judgment.
Metabolic fueling with glucose, thyroid support, and balanced nutrition signals safety to your body, ending the famine response that keeps you stuck.
Integrating Body, Soul, and Biology
True healing aligns body, soul, and biology. Metabolic safety—via glucose and thyroid support—reduces nervous system noise, allowing clearer intuitive signals. Emotional regulation through IFS and SE restores body-soul coherence, enhancing neuroception and the ability to detect predatory cues.
Remember: regulation precedes revelation. Nervous system stability must come first to prevent retraumatization.
Safe & Nourished: The 6-Week Trauma-Informed Metabolic Reclamation Plan lays the metabolic foundation for healing.
The Consciously Present Course, my 12-week program, focuses exclusively on building regulation and safety before any deeper trauma processing begins.
Healing is not just insight—it’s embodied safety, restored cell by cell, breath by breath.
Nurturing the Body-Soul Connection: NeuroAffective Touch (NAT)
NeuroAffective Touch® (NAT), developed by Dr. Aline LaPierre, uses gentle, attuned touch to heal developmental trauma by engaging the body’s implicit memory and regulating the nervous system through Polyvagal Theory. It fosters co-regulation, interoception, and body-mind integration, especially where words fall short.
For remote healing, self-applied NAT allows individuals to use attuned self-touch for regulation, making it accessible even without in-person sessions. Techniques include placing hands on regulatory areas like the heart, belly, or back, and pairing touch with breath and mindful awareness.
Both therapist-led and self-directed NAT support healing by:
Restoring safety and connection
Releasing protective bracing
Enhancing somatic resilience
Supporting integration of pre-verbal trauma
When combined with SE, metabolic fueling, and energetic hygiene and healing, NAT helps clear energetic blockages and repair soul-level trauma, creating a powerful synergy for deep transformation.
Professional Support That Honors Your Journey
1:1 coaching offers personalized guidance as you navigate recovery, rebuild trust in yourself, and establish unshakable boundaries.
Homeopathy can be a powerful ally in clearing energetic and soul-level trauma. It doesn’t replace inner work—but it amplifies it.
Ask your homeopath about remedies such as:
Staphysagria – for suppressed anger, boundary violations, and healing after assault
Ignatia or Buddleia – for grief, emotional shock, and trauma release
Aconite – for acute fear, panic, and shock
Argentum nitricum – for anticipatory anxiety, especially when walking on eggshells
Hypericum – for nervous system repair and nerve pain
Kali phos – a tissue salt for nervous exhaustion and mental fatigue
Aurum metallicum – for deep shame, worthlessness, and suicidal thoughts
Causticum – for being silenced, parentified, or martyred
Natrum muriaticum – for grief held in isolation
Silicea – for those who withdraw and struggle to assert their needs
