HELLO!
The fact that you’re on this site means you probably understand it when I say that narcissists can cause you to leave your sanity behind, as you fall into the dazzling kaleidoscope of their conflicting behaviours and words. That’s why I thought ‘Sanity Saved’ seemed an apt name for my course.
I started to research narcissism and narcissistic abuse after have been spun around and around and inside out and back to front, myself. I eventually reached the point where I craved the experience of simple, boring, precious sanity.
You’ve probably learnt that narcissistic behaviours follow a pattern, and that these abusers mirror each other. And as it did me, just that knowledge has probably already made you think 'hmmm. Maybe there's a chance that these horrible experiences haven't actually happened because I deserved them...' I created my YouTube channel to try to help fellow survivors to cover that base.
Now, you’re ready for more progress. It’s time to examine the behind the scenes goings on that lead to you doubting yourself, once and for all. Let's get you to a place where something remarkable happens, where you realize you can honour yourself and protect yourself so well, that you never have to experience another kaleidoscope again.
Let's put your feet onto solid ground and give you the firm boundaries you've always been entitled to, so that your emotions are safely guarded by your ability to think calmly and logically. That'll be Sanity Saved!
Let’s begin.
About The Course
I’ve developed psychological exercises specifically for people who have suffered narcissistic emotional abuse. With these unique exercises, we can delve into your deepest issues, and gently and effectively turn them around.
My exercises are inspired by neuroscience and are targeted and specific. They will strengthen your healthy neurological pathways and direct you towards confidence, resilience and positivity. They are also designed to teach you to use emotional thinking to your advantage, and logic when you need it the most.

#Sanity Saved Course on Healing From Narcissistic Abuse
What to expect
Beginner / 12 months
This course gives you tools to recover and heal from narcissistic abuse, covering everything from why abuse makes you think and feel as you do to practical examples every class, showing you exactly how to make the changes you need to.
You'll get an in-depth understanding of what your road blocks are and step by step instructions on how to work on each of them. The course is geared towards using the past to identify issues, with a focus on the present and achievable goals.
Some participants like to practice the exercises with their therapist, and others feel ready to be their own therapist straight away. Everyone moves at a different pace and this course is a great for anyone who wants a solid understanding of what they need to work on and how to do it.
To take this course, you need to be at a level of healing that enables you to be ready to hear about experiences other group members have had, given that these may have been traumatic for them, and may remind you of your own traumatic experiences.
While this course is solution focussed, and geared towards using our emotions to strengthen us, painful thoughts and feelings are likely to resurface at times, in the process. I strongly advise ensuring you are well supported while doing this course and recommend seeing a therapist simultaneously, should you need additional support for your mental well being.
Once you've completed the 12 months, you'll have a solid understanding of what exactly gets in your way, and plenty of hands-on exercises to do, to exercise your mind 'muscles' and rid yourself of negative thinking and feeling habits. Deep changes in our mindsets can happen surprisingly quickly!
Who is this course for?
You don't need to know if you've been abused to do this course. You don't need to be depressed, or to have gone through things that you think are drastic enough to be widely regarded as traumatic. If you think you might be codependent, this course may be for you. If you recognise any of the experiences below then it probably is:
- A distorted self image that makes you super hard on yourself
- Uncertainty about whether your feelings are valid or whether there's something wrong with you
- A lack of confidence in your ability to set boundaries
- Recurring memories or thoughts that upset you
- Limited self-belief in one or more areas of your life
- Feeling sensitive and easily hurt because you take things personally, instead of seeing others' issues
- Confusion about what you want from life
- Self sabotage, perfectionism and difficulty in motivating yourself
- Distrust in people or trusting people quickly but then finding you feel betrayed or your expectations aren't met
- Anxiety and avoidance
- Guilt as a reflex reaction, when others are unhappy with you.
- People pleasing and putting others' needs before your own.
What you'll learn
- How to easily feel empowered and safe, in a moment.
- How to make mildly pleasant experiences fill you with warmth and joy.
- How to effectively undo negative thinking patterns
- How to dig down to your deepest, core beliefs and change them
- How to turn traumatic memories into positive experiences of nurturing and relief
- How to feel sure of your reality and completely trust your experiences.
- How to turn self doubt and shame into self assured confidence.
- How to make someone who intimidates you lose their power over you.
- When and how to set boundaries
- How to confidently know whether feeling guilty is rational. And how to let go of guilt within a few moments, when it isn't.
About your course facilitator
Hello, I'm Zoë! You may have found me through my YouTube channel, 'Live Abuse Free'. I've run the channel since 2018, and have been working specifically with people who've experienced narcissistic abuse for five years.
Before that, I completed a BSc Honours degree in Psychology, at the University of Wales, Bangor, and two post graduate diplomas in Counselling Psychology and Integrative counselling, at London Metropolitan University and Surrey University. I'm currently studying a masters degree in psychology and the neuroscience of mental health, at Kings College London.
I have given psychological therapy to people experiencing depression, anxiety, and bereavement, as well as to children with autism, and to people experiencing sexual dysfunction after a sex change. I have also run therapy groups with, (and given one to one therapy to), people with brain injuries.
Before becoming a therapist, I volunteered as a support worker with people with cerebral palsy and after that, with children with HIV. It's been an honour to work with people who face scary and lonely challenges head on. Their pain and their bravery and determination tend to be accompanied by humility and authenticity. My admiration for these traits has never felt stronger than it has now, working with the survivors of narcissistic abuse.
My own experiences of this traumatic bullying led me to research the subject avidly for 15 years. Each exercise on this course has been developed through my work with one to one clients which has enabled me to carefully hone it to ensure its effectiveness. It's so exciting to feel confident that these exercises really can make a big difference.
So far, I have run seven courses, and used feedback from each to improve the next. This will be the first course I've run for a larger number of people, as they were previously created for small groups of ten to twelve people. It's been an incredible experience to watch people's mindset shift drastically after just 12 classes.
These new courses are running to ensure the challenge of financing the more expensive small courses, isn't an obstacle to those who have so far wanted to take part and been unable to. I may continue to run the small group courses in the future, but in the mean time, I'm really looking forward to this new framework. You will be paying a quarter of the price, so you'll have more classmates, but you'll also cover more ground, now that I'm going to be running double the content. I'm pleased to be able to spend longer with you and to ensure we cover all of the ground we need to for you to have the tools necessary for lasting change. And I can't wait to see that happen for you! :)
