Continuing the Conversation of Traumatic Narcissism and Recovery with Daniel Shaw

Published: Jan. 26, 2022, 8 a.m.

We\u2019ve invited Daniel Shaw back to have a conversation with our host, Emily, to further discuss his work and his most recent book, Traumatic Narcissism and Recovery: Leaving the Prison of Shame and Fear.

Daniel Shaw LCSW is an author, private practice psychoanalyst, faculty and supervisor at the National Institute for the Psychotherapies. He has provided professional counseling for former cultic group members, and their friends and loved ones since 1994.\xa0

Daniel shares that he wants listeners to understand the ways that we become alienated from ourselves because of trauma and the internal antagonism between the part that wants to live, and the part that wants to shut down life. He also shares, \u201cWe within ourselves, have healing capacities, we have healing energy. That\u2019s innate.\u201d\xa0

We hear from Daniel about his influences such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR, and how these models have supported his understanding of Trauma and the Self. \u201cThe benefit of subsequent training in trauma theories has been to understand that within us is always an energy trying to survive and trying to LIVE. We\u2019re not just trying to survive. I think we\u2019re trying to live,\u201d he shares.\xa0

Listen to our first conversation with Daniel on episode 28 of Transforming Trauma.
