About Healing Hearts LA

Hello

I’m Sheila, Master Certified Life Coach and BodyTalk™ Practitioner based in Los Angeles. My holistic, trauma-informed approach towards healing from narcissistic abuse is unique in that it addresses both the mental/emotional and sprititual/phsycial wounds and provides complete healing and recovery.

I am passionate about healing from this type of abuse, because, like you, I am a survivor of narcissistic relationships. I understand the immense toll and trauma that they can impart, and I am deeply familar with the work, energy, effort, tools, and discipline it takes to actually heal from them. Real healing is possible. The pain will pass, and a thriving, vibrant life full of love and peace is available to you, if you truly want it and are willing to show up and do the work.

I would love to be the one to help guide you along this difficult path.

The Hearts Healing model for NPD recovery

• Understanding: to heal from the narcissist, one must first understand the narcissist. Their pathology runs deep, and is counter to everything logical. This requires an openess and curiosity about the disorder as well as your own beliefs. Seeing them for what they really are assists in detaching yourself from them.

• Accepting: after understanding comes radical acceptance: this is who they are and will always be; as a rule, narcissists do not recover from their dysfunction. It is often baked into their personality at an early age and would take an incredible amount of self-awareness, determination, and ego death for them to even consider healing, which we will learn is in opposition to their nature. Radical acceptance helps us to walk away.

• Healing: with the knowledge and accepting comes healing. This is a long and painful path, as those who wind up with narcissistic people are often sensitive and empathetic, which makes their pain all the more pronounced and deep. It took you months or years to reach rock bottom, it will take some time to climb back out. This process is somewhat expedited with the support of a healer.

• Release: once all the elements of this healing journey are aligned, your body will be ready to release the stored trauma. This is the final step that most counselers, therapists, and coaches miss. The body keeps the score until you clear the board directly through methods like BodyTalk, EFT tapping, reiki and breath work, and other somatic exercises. The goal is to align your mind, heart, body, and spirit in order to restore you to your full sense of self.
