About Me
Michele D. Briones
Counselor, Consultant, Yoga Instructor, Life Coach
I have arrived at this website from personally experiencing narcissistic abuse from a charming psychopath. From working through the healing to finding my passion in love with giving back to a community that is lacking in resources and support.
Finding love after enduring narcissistic abuse can be an incredibly daunting journey, but it is a journey worth undertaking. When one's original caretakers instilled a pattern of narcissistic abuse, it can severely warp one’s perception of love and self-worth. The first step in overcoming this is to acknowledge the abuse and understand its impact on your life. This often involves intensive self-reflection and possibly professional therapy to dismantle the harmful narratives that have taken root within you.
Healing from narcissistic abuse requires rebuilding your sense of self and learning to set healthy boundaries. It’s crucial to surround yourself with a supportive network of friends, family, or support groups who understand what you’ve been through and can offer empathy and encouragement. Engaging in self-care practices and finding activities that bring you joy and fulfillment can help restore your self-esteem and sense of autonomy.
Finding love post-abuse is not just about romantic relationships but also about reigniting a passion for life and connection with others. Giving back to a community that lacks resources and support can be incredibly therapeutic. It allows you to transform your pain into purpose, helping others who may be in similar situations while also reinforcing your healing. By fostering a loving and supportive environment, both for yourself and for others, you can rebuild a sense of trust and compassion, paving the way for healthy and meaningful relationships in the future.
Healing after experiencing narcissistic abuse can be an arduous journey, but it is also a transformative and empowering one. Picture yourself standing at the edge of a forest, with the dense, dark trees representing the pain and confusion you've endured. As you take each step forward, the light begins to filter through the branches, illuminating a path toward self-discovery and inner peace. Along this path, you will reclaim your self-worth, rediscover your passions, and build resilience. Each small victory, whether setting a boundary or practicing self-care, brings you closer to the clearing where you can breathe freely and open your heart once more. Remember, you deserve a love that respects, honors, and cherishes you. By healing, you are not only freeing yourself from the shadows of the past but also making space for a healthy, fulfilling relationship with someone who truly values you. Believe in your strength and take that courageous step forward; happiness and love await you on the other side.
EQ Consultant
Certificate in Organizational Psychology
An EQ (Emotional Intelligence) Consultant specializes in helping individuals and organizations understand, develop, and harness the power of emotional intelligence to achieve their goals. Emotional intelligence, often referred to as EQ, involves the ability to recognize, understand, manage, and use emotions effectively in everyday life. An EQ Consultant brings expertise in these areas to foster better communication, collaboration, and leadership within teams and across entire organizations.
Primarily, an EQ Consultant conducts assessments to gauge the emotional intelligence levels of individuals or teams. These assessments provide valuable insights into areas such as self-awareness, empathy, emotional regulation, and social skills. Based on the results, the consultant develops tailored strategies and training programs to enhance these skills. Through workshops, coaching sessions, and ongoing support, an EQ Consultant helps clients build stronger interpersonal relationships, improve decision-making processes, and create a more positive and productive work environment.
Moreover, EQ Consultants work closely with leadership teams to integrate emotional intelligence into organizational culture and practices. They assist in conflict resolution, stress management, and leadership development, ensuring leaders can inspire and support their teams effectively. By fostering a culture of emotional intelligence, organizations can experience reduced turnover rates, increased employee engagement, and overall improved performance. An EQ Consultant's role is pivotal in driving personal and professional growth, ultimately leading to a more harmonious and prosperous workplace.
