The Live Your Life Podcast Jasmine Svare

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.

This episode is about unexpected life experiences that carved the path toward what is now the passionate work of Vince Horan.

He references the book “Turning Points” by Clark Moustakas and talks about his understanding of his own “turning points”.

"If you have ever been involved in a legal battle, you understand how powerless you feel. It’s scary and it can be incredibly traumatizing. This podcast episode has so much wisdom and I’d encourage you to listen to it, even if you don’t foresee a legal battle in your future. Here is what they say about it.
 
“Litigation Survival School (LSS) offers Individualized Litigation Support for people going through litigation both with an attorney and without one. This includes a variety of methods. We teach people how to present themselves in Court and what to expect from the Court system. We help people cope with the trauma of going through the system, plan and prepare for litigation both inside and outside of the courtroom, and to implement the rulings in a way that maximizes their wellness. The offering is for education and information. Our course does not create and attorney-client or attorney-therapist relationship.
 
If you think of your case as a jar, and each person who participates in your case as a marble in the jar, you can easily see that there are gaps that are not filled by anyone in the system. At Litigation Survival School, we fill in the gaps that others cannot, to help you keep your glass as full as possible as you go through this intense, complicated process and beyond.
 
The reason Litigation Survival School is different from any other program is that the backgrounds of the two co-founders span an unusually broad range of experience and training. “
