Shedding the Narcissist Within: Dismantling Toxic Conditioning | Reclaiming Pleasure
How to Heal from Internalized Narcissism and Reclaim Your Pleasure
Shame has long been one of the most powerful tools of control — keeping women small, silent, and disconnected from their bodies across generations. In this episode, Eve sits down with Emma Lyons, founder of Trauma Matrix, to explore how shame shows up, why it’s deeply tied to patriarchy and narcissistic systems, and how to finally break up with your inner narcissist.
Together, they unpack how shame infiltrates our nervous systems, fuels self-sabotage, and contributes to mental, emotional, and physical illness. You’ll discover a step-by-step system called BREAK to interrupt the shame trance, reclaim your sovereignty, and live without shame.
If you’ve ever struggled with negative self-talk, perfectionism, or the burden of cultural conditioning, this episode shows you how to see shame for what it is — a lie you no longer have to carry.
Why shame is the gasoline that powers trauma, dysfunction, and emotional suppression
The links between shame, autoimmune disease, depression, and internal sabotage
How the inner critic mirrors a narcissist living inside your psyche
The BREAK method to dismantle shame and heal your inner world:
B – Break the trance
R – Refuse to engage
E – Expose the lie
A – Anchor your truth
K – Kick it out
Why reclaiming shamelessness is a radical act of self-love, empowerment, and decolonizing your body
The difference between polishing a “cage of shame” versus actually freeing yourself
