  • 67: Dana Diaz: Breaking Free from Narcissistic Abuse to Discover Yourself

    67: Dana Diaz: Breaking Free from Narcissistic Abuse to Discover Yourself
    Nov 27 2024
    Welcome Back to the ROCK MOVERS with Coach Karen Gray - In this conversation, Dana Diaz shares her profound journey of overcoming narcissistic abuse and the impact it had on her life with Coach Karen. She discusses her experiences in a 25-year marriage marked by isolation and emotional turmoil, leading to her eventual realization of self-worth and the importance of breaking free from toxic relationships. Through her books, 'Gasping for Air' and 'Choking on Shame', Dana aims to validate the experiences of others who have faced similar struggles, emphasizing the power of storytelling in healing. She also highlights her aspirations to help others navigate their paths to recovery and empowerment. Who is Dana Diaz? Dana S. Diaz studied journalism and psychology at DePaul University. While there’s no better teacher than life experience and Dana has had life-long experiences with narcissistic abuse, her education did give her the ability to accurately verbalize and express how narcissistic abuse creates confusion and conflict within victims. Today, Dana is a proud voice for fellow victims who are unable, afraid, or ashamed to share their experiences. She strives to create awareness and understanding to ensure victims are given the support they need to first understand their situation and then begin the healing process. Her first book, chronicling her own abusive marriage that lasted nearly three decades, started as a journal that she hid under the couch cushion in the basement. Dana lives with her husband in Illinois and is working on the prequel and sequel to Gasping for Air. Takeaways Narcissistic abuse often leads to isolation and self-doubt. Podcasts can provide validation and connection for those suffering. Realizing one's own worth is crucial for breaking free from toxic relationships. Healing is a continuous journey that requires patience and self-forgiveness. Storytelling can empower both the writer and the reader. Books can serve as a tool for validation and understanding. It's important to listen to your gut feelings about relationships. Choosing to prioritize oneself is the first step to healing. Mistakes do not define who you are; it's essential to forgive yourself. Empowerment comes from recognizing and reclaiming your narrative. Quote Worthy Sound Bites from Dana "For me, it just means being a good role model of whatever aspect of life I'm trying to lead." "I had to love myself first." "You can choose to start over." "There are many jealous and angry people in this world. They don't want to see you succeed because they perceive your success as a threat to their own. Succeed anyways" Chapters 00:00 Introduction 03:47 Isolation and Control in Narcissistic Abuse 06:22 Recognizing Red Flags and Trusting Gut Instincts 09:26 The Power of Self-Love and Self-Respect 12:33 Validation and Hope through Sharing Stories 28:34 Outro Video - Rock Movers Thank you for listening to this episode of the ROCK MOVERS You can connect with Dana: ⁠www.facebook.com/danasdiazauthor⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/danas.diaz⁠ Website: ⁠https://danasdiaz.com⁠ You can connect with Karen by email at Karen@CoachKarenGray.com Website:⁠ www.CoachKarenGray.com⁠ YouTube:⁠ http://www.youtube.com/@coachkarengray⁠ Facebook:⁠ https://www.facebook.com/coachkarengray⁠ Join my FREE Private FB Community of Champions:⁠ https://www.facebook.com/groups/thechampionscommunity/⁠ LinkedIn:⁠ https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachkarengray-intuitive-energy-coach/⁠ Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/stories/coachkarengray/⁠ Check out my FREE QUIZ to discover your Self-Worth SUPERPOWER:⁠ https://www.coachkarengray.com/self-worth-quiz⁠ Link to MY Book: “Unleash Your Inner Confidence⁠ https://www.coachkarengray.com/free-resources⁠
