Margi's Story

 

My name is Margi Bowden. My passion and drive is to help others, like me, escape the clutches of narcissistic abuse and live incredibly happy and fulfilling lives. 

 

For four decades, I navigated through a haze of suppressed sadness and confusion. It was like the story of  'The Princess and the Pea', where an internal discomfort persistently prodded at my peace.

 

As a youthful, trusting teenager, at the threshold of adventures and enjoyment, I was abruptly ushered into a realm of perpetual anxiety, feeling apologetic for merely existing, drowning in a whirlpool of confusion and worry.

 

I found myself entangled in a relationship that, while thrilling and enchanting, also harbored phases of unbearable dread and sorrow. For the first time, I was confronted with lies, deceit, and gaslighting, although I was clueless about the nature of the struggle I was facing.

 

Instead of examining my relationship, I was manipulated into believing that I was the core of the issues, that my perceptions were imagined, and that I was intent on identifying faults and stirring discord. My emotions were brushed aside and neglected. Although I initially severed the ties, I was lured back with promises of a blissful life. I was under the spell of being a soulmate, attempting to craft our fairytale ending.

 

Before and even after the union, I sought therapeutic intervention. I orchestrated couples counselling on six different instances, yet the situation remained the same.

 

I also explored individual therapy for myself with 16 different specialists. 

 

The predicament worsened. My confusion intensified and, unbeknownst to me, my existence, rights, and boundaries were vanishing swiftly. I was regularly held accountable for wrongdoings and lived in a perpetual state of dread concerning his reactions, even over trivial matters.
Eventually, medication became a part of my life as anxiety and depression clouded my days. I battled crippling fatigue, and endured medical investigations for gastrointestinal issues, which led to surgery. My escalating dependency on alcohol and a significant weight gain of nearly 30 kg frightened me. Every moment of respite was spent in bed, seeking escape through sleep. The constant anxiety and hyper-vigilance took a toll on my professional life, and I found myself in a series of minor car accidents. Although the thought of ending my life never cemented, the notion of an eternal sleep, a release from the relentless problems, did cross my mind.

 

Fate led me to a university colleague who shared her encounters with a narcissistic leader. As she described his actions, I was taken aback, silently recognizing the ordeal I had been enduring. She also labeled the behavior - narcissism.

 

That day marked the beginning of my earnest endeavor to delve into every aspect of narcissism. Despite my credentials as a life coach, counselor, and a background in psychology, and life's work in the neurodiversity space, my ignorance about this condition had prolonged my suffering, leaving me blaming myself. I pondered on how many others were in the same fog of misunderstanding like I was.

 

Within a span of two years, I started my Instagram page, dedicated to assisting others who had weathered the storm of narcissistic abuse. Unveiling the years of deceit, manipulation tactics, and psychological torment was a monumental stride in my healing journey.

 

Gaining insight into the narcissist's driving forces and weaknesses liberated me, granting me the clarity that I was not the culprit.

 

After years of extensive therapy, I was well aware of what did not assist me to understand my life or heal.  I embraced a diversified approach to healing which evolved over time.

 

Realizing the constraints in catering to numerous individuals on a one-on-one basis, I knew my extensive teaching tenure in the neurodiversity sphere equipped me to educate others about the facets of narcissistic abuse.

 

Today, I work with individual clients, communicate daily with tens of thousands of survivors around the world (via Instagram) and work relentlessly to spread the knowledge of narcissistic abuse and how to break free and live with the human rights every single person deserves.
