If you've done the work (read the books, journaled endlessly, listened to every podcast on narcissistic abuse) but still feel like something isn't right, you're not alone. Many survivors find that something is missing in their healing process.

At Through the Woods Psychotherapy (TTW Psych), we believe that something is often this:
✅ Therapy that truly understands narcissistic abuse.

Whether you're in Timmins, Sudbury, North Bay, Thunder Bay, Toronto, Ottawa, or anywhere across Ontario, access to narcissistic abuse-informed therapy can be the turning point in finally feeling seen, grounded, and free.

The Problem: General Therapy Often Misses the Mark

Many trauma therapists are kind, well-meaning, and skilled, but not all are equipped to spot the relational abuse dynamics that make narcissistic abuse so harmful and disorienting.

You may have already tried therapy and felt:

• Invalidated (“Maybe they didn’t mean it that way.”)
• Rushed toward forgiveness or re-connection
• Misunderstood, especially when there was no physical abuse
• Labeled as “too sensitive,” “co-dependent,” or “high conflict”

None of that is your fault. Narcissistic abuse is complex, subtle, and often invisible. Healing from it requires therapy that’s informed by its unique patterns.

What Is Narcissistic Abuse-Informed Therapy?

This isn’t just “trauma-informed.” It’s therapy built around the specific relational patterns, psychological tactics, and emotional aftermath of narcissistic abuse.

Our approach at TTW Psych includes:

• Naming covert abuse tactics like gaslighting, blame-shifting, love bombing, and future faking
• Psychoeducation to help you understand how and why this type of abuse impacts your nervous system, memory, and self-concept
• Boundary work that feels empowering, not guilt-ridden
• Repairing self-trust through gentle, validating reflection
• Returning to yourself (authentically)

“Why Can’t I Just Move On?”

A question we hear all the time. Survivors often blame themselves for still feeling confused or emotionally stuck, even after leaving the relationship.

Here’s what most people don’t realize:
‍
Narcissistic abuse is designed to distort your reality, wear down your intuition, and isolate you from yourself.

Without therapy that understands this exact dynamic, you may find yourself:

• Second-guessing everything
• Repeating similar patterns in new relationships
• Feeling stuck in a shame loop
• Wondering if you were the narcissist

Specialized therapy helps you break the cycle, regulate your nervous system, and reclaim your sense of reality.
