You Are Not Alone.
Hi, I’m Lynn Catalano and I’m a coach dedicated to helping survivors of narcissistic abuse reclaim their lives. Like many, I once found myself trapped in a relationship that left me feeling isolated and confused. It took a significant moment of realization for me to understand that I was in a toxic cycle.
​
I've Walked In Your Shoes
After seeking help and diving into my healing journey, I discovered powerful strategies for self-care, boundary-setting, and building self-love. Through this process, I transformed my pain into purpose, and now I’m passionate about empowering others to do the same.

​
Why narcissistic abuse recovery coaching?
Experiencing narcissistic abuse is unlike any other form of emotional abuse. It’s hard to even know what’s happening when you are in it. I didn’t know the terminology. I didn’t know I was stuck in a cycle of toxicity.
I would leave him after an encounter, doubting my own reality, questioning everything. Nothing was normal.
At the worst of it I wasn’t sleeping. I had skin problems. I had gastrointestinal issues. I was internalizing all of the trauma.
I felt completely alone.

​
Healing Is Possible
My light bulb moment, my big a-ha, came when he walked out of my life, for what felt like the 100th time. I finally realized this wasn’t love. Everything was conditional and transactional. He would never be the person I thought he was.
I talked to so many different professionals. They didn’t really get it. This made me feel more alone.
I know now how good it is to talk to someone who has walked in your shoes, understands the feelings of confusion and loss, and gets the need for validation.
I have developed strategies to help you coexist with this person if you have to and to protect your emotional/mental health. I transformed my pain into purpose, leading others on the healing process to empower and reclaim their life.
You are not alone.
Healing is possible.
My personal experience has informed my coaching approach. My empathy and deep understanding of what you are going through make me different. I am committed to empowering you to reclaim your life, set boundaries, and cultivate your self-worth.
Take the next step with me.

COACHING 1:1 CLIENT
Lynn helped me to find a path to good health, happiness, and forgiveness by showing me how to end this cycle of abuse and the relationships. Lynn teaches the signs, symptoms, and patterns of narcissistic behavior so that you can recognize them. Knowing those signs and the actual behavior to expect, you are much less likely to be triggered into a personal response that exaggerates the situation. You don't deserve this treatment. You deserve to be happy.
Narcissistic abuse comes in many forms. You've been conditioned. sometimes for years, to accept this person as they are and consider their behavior normal. It's not. Recognize that you've been in a state of hypervigilance, walking on eggshells, the whole time.
I've spent years trying to be the bigger person and that's meant shrinking myself, minimizing the years of manipulation, and being quiet. I'm done with that behavior. I'm no longer tolerating the abuse. Enough is enough.
