Hello, I’m Carla Shohet

I am an Integrative Psychologist with over 20 years of professional experience helping people feel better and live better. I specialise in trauma healing and narcissistic abuse recovery, and I am also a Somatic Therapist, Brainspotting Practitioner, and Nervous System Educator..

All that means is that I am not your typical Talk Therapist. I am a holistic Psychologist, integrating both cognitive and somatic healing modalities, to achieve long-term root-cause resolution healing, not just short-term symptoms management.

I understand what you’re going through not only because of my high-level professional education and qualifications, but most importantly, I understand you from my own personal lived experience of dysfunctional family dynamics, toxic relationships, childhood trauma and adult trauma from Narcissistic Abuse.

I see you, I hear you and I believe you because I’ve been you. I have been exactly where you are right now…

Through the long roller-coaster of being unaware that I was a victim of narcissistic abuse, I hit several ‘rock bottoms’ throughout my life, including accumulating £80k worth of debt, all of which in 2001 snowballed into being a hair’s breadth away from death and homelessness.

All of this is your birthright

I have suffered from severe depression, anxiety, trauma-related chronic illness and chronic pain, complex PTSD, panic attacks, self-sabotage, and suicidality.

I know first-hand what it is like to go through Narcissistic Abuse from a loved one, and how tough it is to deal with this most insidious type of abuse, which is often invisible to the outside world.

Feeling afraid, isolated, ashamed, not believed, alone, helpless, and hopeless…

I also know all too well what it feels like to fight in the broken legal system, and to go through the incredibly scary and stressful process of dealing with the Authorities and Family Court Hearings. Battling for your parental rights to keep your children safe, whilst terrified you might lose your children to the harmful Narcissist in your life. And as you desperately try to figure out how to protect your children’s wellbeing, feeling like it is impossible, at times, to preserve your own sanity.

Most of my life I experience feeling lost, believing there was something inherently wrong with me and that everything that was or went wrong was all my fault. I wore a mask to show that ‘I am fine’ because it did not feel safe to be me, I feared that to be my true self meant judgement, criticism, rejection, and abandonment. Behind closed doors I experienced many dark years, feeling like I had to pretend to be someone else to fit in, to be liked, to be accepted and to be loved, while deep down never believing I was good enough at anything or for anyone, and feeling worthless, unlovable, undeserving and that I didn’t matter.

This was my inner world, despite being a seasoned Psychologist. I carried the heavy weight of toxic shame because I felt like an imposter, and one day I decided to stop my successful practice, closing the doors to helping others for 4 years because of how I felt - that I was a fraud. Until one day, I ‘accidentally’ stumbled across somatic healing...

I was desperate to get better and continue to live for my 3 children and my husband who did not deserve to continue their lives dealing with the pain of me having taken mine.

As I became aware that I had been suffering due to the emotional and psychological damage of Narcissistic Abuse for years, I went on to my own somatic inner healing journey, and I quickly realised the way I felt and behaved was not my fault, it was because of the invisible unresolved trauma stuck in my nervous system.

The healing journey that I went on completely changed my life for the better, I stopped surviving and existing, and I started LIVING and THRIVING!

And this is the exact same somatic healing process that I will take you on and guide you through in my program THANARA™ (Trauma Healing and Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Accelerator)

I have combined my professional education and experience with my personal, lived experiences to create THANARA™, a 6-week somatic healing program where I integrate cognitive and somatic modalities, to help you finally heal and move forward from your past pain.

Just like me, you will feel immediate relief as the shame and guilt are lifted. And as you start healing on a deep nervous system level, you too will start to experience yourself and your life in a much more positive way.

It is possible for you to heal and thrive, just as it has been for me and my many one-to-one clients.

You too absolutely DESERVE to feel good enough, important, loveable, and worthy because you are, and you always have been!

Since reaping the benefits of healing myself on a somatic level, in every aspect of my life, I am on a mission is to educate as many people as possible on how you can stop existing and start living authentically too, so that you grow to your full potential and start to experience abundance, joy, calm, presence, clarity, confidence, peace, compassion, courage, love, fun, connectedness, and so much more!

It is my purpose to share my experience, the education and give guidance to help empower people to know ‘how to’ heal themselves and stop suffering like I did, for as long as I did!

Because IT IS possible to overcome trauma and feel good, it is your birth-given right to thrive and enjoy your life.
