Michele Paradise

I'm a trauma therapist, hypnotherapist, and narcissistic abuse survivor with over 20 years of experience helping individuals heal from toxic relationships, intergenerational trauma, and deeply ingrained people-pleasing patterns. My work centres around helping people understand the emotional and neurological impact of narcissistic abuse, and guiding them to reconnect with their authentic selves.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a model for two decades—an experience that gave me unique insight into identity, boundaries, and the pressure to perform. Now, I bring those lessons into my therapy and my content, combining lived experience with evidence-based practices from experts like Dr. Gabor Maté and Dr. Richard Schwartz.

I’ve built a thriving online community of over 45,000 on Instagram and an engaged YouTube audience, sharing reels and resources that often go viral. I make complex psychological concepts feel human and relatable, offering practical tools that resonate with listeners long after the episode ends.

Whether we're exploring the parent wound, trauma bonding, narcissistic siblings, or how people-pleasing can make you sick, I bring warmth, clarity, and a no-nonsense approach that empowers people to heal and set boundaries. If your audience is hungry for real talk, science-backed insight, and grounded strategies for personal growth, I’d be honored to be a guest on your show.
