    S2: EP. 18 - Breaking Down Narcissism, Trauma, and Real Healing with Esin Pinarli
    2024/10/22

    In this episode of Overcoming Adversity, Amanda, Sarah, and Matt sit down with therapist Esin Pinarli for a look into narcissism, trauma, and the stuff we rarely talk about. Esin keeps it real, sharing how everything from somatic therapy to brain spotting and internal family systems (IFS) can help us break free from the emotional junk holding us back.

    Ever wondered why some relationships drain the life out of you? Or why setting boundaries feels so damn hard? Esin breaks it all down in a way that makes sense—and yes, we even touch on those awkward moments when you just want to cry but end up laughing instead. It’s not just therapy talk; it's real life, real struggles, and real healing. If you’ve ever dealt with narcissism or just need some honest advice on reconnecting with yourself, this episode's got you covered. Expect a few laughs, some eye-openers, and tips you can actually use in your day-to-day.
