Wake the Elephant YouTube Channel | Disrupting Toxic Systems Narcissistic Abuse Recovery & Supporting Women's Autonomy
Videos on Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
Welcome to our Video Hub, a space created with your journey in mind. We know how hard it can be to face the aftermath of narcissistic abuse, and we honor every step you’ve already taken toward healing.
I’m Lynn, the creative force behind these videos. Though I rarely appear on screen, I’ve chosen immersive storytelling and realistic scene reconstructions to bring tough conversations about narcissistic abuse and cultural dynamics to life. My goal is to present this challenging material in a way that invites understanding, sparks healing, and empowers you to reclaim your voice. Thank you for being here and joining me on this journey.
Here’s what you’ll find here:
Validation through Authentic Storytelling
Most of our videos bring your experiences into focus with carefully recreated scenes that capture moments many struggle to put into words. You might watch:
• A family dinner where gaslighting unfolds in subtle exchanges
• A walk alone at dawn that reflects the mix of relief and fear after no-contact
• A quiet boardroom moment that uncovers unspoken rules of power
These aren’t polished lectures. They’re lived moments designed to help you recognize what happened, acknowledge how it felt, and know you’re not alone in this.
Practical Steps for Rebuilding
We pair each scene with tools you can use right away, because small actions build lasting strength. You’ll get:
• Journaling prompts to explore your boundaries and honor your needs
• Conversation scripts to practice asserting yourself—one calm word at a time
• Reflection exercises that guide you toward trusting your own voice again
Exploring Hidden Dynamics
Your personal healing matters—and so does understanding the systems that shaped your experience. Through lived scenarios, we shine a light on:
• Family gatherings where old roles and expectations quietly enforce silence
• Workplace meetings that reveal bias in everyday language
• Institutional moments tracing how norms and laws reinforce self-doubt
By witnessing these scenes, you’ll gain insight into wider patterns and feel empowered to challenge them in your own life.
