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.Grab your Free Ebook copy of Empath's Guide to Rising Strong and Your Mini Human Design Reading belowAll Links are on the Podcast Page.00:01 Introduction to the Podcast00:31 Empowering Empaths: Tools for Healing01:14 Breaking the Victim Cycle: The Story of Goddess Inanna02:01 The Importance of Shadow Work03:59 Inanna's Descent to the Underworld: A Symbolic Journey07:07 Stripping Away the Ego: Lessons from Inanna's Journey07:58 The Death of the Ego and Awakening of the Authentic Self08:19 Rescue, Revival, and Rebirth: The Return of Inanna09:22 Letting Go of Toxic Relationships: Inanna's Final Act10:13 The Spiritual Journey: Healing from Trauma and Abuse11:18 Embracing Your Authentic Self: The Goal of the Book11:41 The Power of Introspection and Journaling12:08 Conclusion: Owning Your Power and Shining Bright12:50 Final Words and Resources for Empaths
