Choose YOU! Pocket Coaching

Support, validation, facts, and proven steps to recover from Narcissistic abuse… you’ll find them all here.

The Survivors’ Pocket Coaching is a companion feature for the Choose You Podcast. NPD research notes, first-hand experiences & observations, and Weekly Q&A’s are posted here in-between podcast episodes.

Hi. I’m Carmen Sakurai…

I’m an INFJ Single Momma, Certified Trauma-Informed Master Life Coach with a BSc in Psychology, Certified Coach Practitioner of several types of psychotherapy including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, with over 20 years of education, training, and experiences.

I’m also trained and certified in Mental and Behavioral Health Studies with focus on Stress Management, Burnout Prevention, Depression, and Suicide/Violent Behavior.

But I was FAR from immune to NPD abuse. I’ve experienced the crazy-making. I’ve been devalued and dragged through the aftermath of the discard. I’ve had to find my way out of the confusion - while raising my son and running a business. I’ve even used the National Lifeline at my very darkest, hopeless, and most suffocating moment.

I know FIRST-HAND what Narcissistic abuse can do to your heart, mind, and body. I know this isn’t just a bad breakup… I know not all mothers are wired to love their children… and I know all that it takes to break free.

What’s Inside CY! Pocket Coaching?

The Choose YOU! Podcast is broadcasted every Monday. These weekly episodes are provided as a type of “audio coaching” where I cover important facts to guide you through the NPD abuse recovery journey, smash myths that could potentially hinder your progress, and answer your questions. Podcast episodes always come with supporting worksheets, checklists, and/or helpful resources.

I also post a weekly check-in every Tuesday to delve deeper into what was covered in the week’s podcast episode including: the science behind it, why it’s important in your healing & breakthrough, and how you can use it to empower yourself.

You can listen to the Choose YOU! Podcast in your email, on Substack, or in the Substack app where you’ll also find full transcripts.
