Goddess Inanna’s Descent: Spiritual Healing & Ego Death after Narcissistic Abuse

Do you find yourself acting out in super defense to counteract the abuse and injustice done to you?

The ego is a defense mechanism and can at any moment also be the enemy keeping you trapped in your victim hypervigilance.

In this episode of the Empath and Narcissist Podcast, I read to you the tale of Goddess Inanna's descent into the underworld, ( which is written in my book Empath's Guide to Rising Strong) using it as a parable for spiritual awakening and healing from narcissistic abuse.

I interpret Inanna's journey, highlighting how each stage symbolizes the stripping away of ego and awakening of the authentic self after traumatic experiences. The host emphasizes the importance of shadow work in this process and equates the experiences with dealing with narcissism.

I conclude by encouraging you to empower yourself, release past mistakes and own your authentic self.
