Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Narcissistic abuse and coercive control cause real, clinically significant trauma. Many of the mothers I work with have never been told this — they've been treated for anxiety or depression without anyone naming the source as relational trauma. The symptoms are real: intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, emotional flashbacks, difficulty trusting others, avoidance of anything that triggers memories of the relationship. Complex PTSD, which develops from prolonged exposure to psychological abuse rather than a single traumatic event, is especially common in survivors of narcissistic relationships. As a licensed psychologist with 30 years of clinical experience and advanced training in trauma, post-separation abuse, and narcissistic abuse recovery, I provide trauma-informed therapy specifically designed for mothers healing from relational trauma and complex PTSD. My approach addresses the trauma at its roots — not just the symptoms — using evidence-based methods tailored to the specific trauma patterns that narcissistic and emotionally abusive relationships create.
