In his practice, Fred uses a combination of individual and group therapy to help his clients understand and change their behavior, while also working to repair the damage it has caused.  Typically, the client’s sexual issues are intertwined with underlying problems of intimacy, emotional development, trauma and meaning – areas that Fred also helps clients address so that they may experience lasting change.

• 042 Healing from Chronic Pain and Narcissistic Abuse with Adriana Bucci

  Episode 42 is about the connection between narcissistic abuse and chronic pain. After nearly three decades of enduring narcissistic abuse and four years of dealing with severe chronic pain, Adriana Bucci had to make the choice to embark on her own healing journey (her life depended on it). Once Adriana was able to see the connection between her abuse and her pain, she was able to heal her physical pain, as well as heal from narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic abuse came at her from every direction, most significantly from being raised by a narcissistic mother but also other close relationships, and even colleagues/toxic workplaces (they were everywhere!). Her healing journey inspired her to become a life coach so she could help other people. Her goal is to empower survivors of narcissistic abuse to heal, set boundaries, and live life on their own terms! Adriana is the founder of “Let's Get Your Shift Together” @letsgetyourshifttogether.   Do you want six-weeks of the Curable app for free?
