To be clear, not every difficult parent has Narcissist Personality Disorder and I am not able to diagnose you or your family members. If you happen to know or suspect your parent has #NPD then this post is for you. . I try not to over use the word, “narcissist,” and also it is an actual DSM-5 diagnosis. I’m referring to the diagnosis here. . Some of these difficulties also come from other limitations in your parent. I encourage you to be flexible in your thinking when reading this post. . . . #EMDR #CPTSD #PTSD #trauma #traumahealing #recovery #complextrauma #depression #anxiety #dissociation #psychotherapy #psychotherapist #attachmenttheory #avoidantattachment #traumainformed #attachmenttherapy #therapy #disorganizedattachment #emotionalhealth #therapymemes #yourtherapist #queer #lavender #LGBTQ #raisedbynarcissist #personalitydisorders #blackandwhitethinking #therapist

#schlaflose Nächte gehören irgendwie dazu Vor ein paar Jahre, bevor die ersten #traumata durch die Therapie ins Licht kamen, ich kannte das gewöhnliche ins Bett gehen nicht. Ich musste mich überarbeiten und übermüdet sein um ein paar Stunden Schlaf bekommen zu können. Ich kann mich an die erste Nacht erinnern, ich habe mich ins Bett gelegt, meine Augen geschlossen und habe geschlafen..... Am Anfang dachte ich ist ein Zufall, nach ein paar Tage hatte ich realisiert, dass das eine der Folgen der Traumaverarbeitung ist....Die #flashbacks von dem einen verarbeiteten Trauma waren nicht mehr jeden Tag da, der Druck war weniger Es war ein wunderschöner Moment, als hätte ich ein wenig von meine #selbstbestimmung wieder. Wie wunderschön es ist einfach ins Bett gehen zu können und schlafen ! Die #schlaflosigkeit kommt ab und zu wieder und liegt an vielen #faktoren, mittlerweile als eine falsche Note in einem Lied, die es aber einzigartig machen. Bei #stress, schwierige Zeiten in der Therapie, neue #traumaverarbeitung sind die da wie ein alter Freund. Ich nehme sie an und nutze die Zeit für #reflexion, die Erstellung von meinem neuen #mindmapping oder einfach mit meinem Kater zu spielen. Ich nehme sie an wie ein Teil von mir und warte geduldig ab bis ich schlafen kann #cptsd #kptbs #achtsamkeit #mentalegesundheit #seelischegesundheit #gleichgewicht #traumaüberlebende #cptsdawareness #cptdssurvivor #meditation #selbstakzeptanz #selbstfürsorge #hilfeannehmen #resourcennutzen #lebenimhierundjetzt #lebensqualität

Trauma dynamics that you unconsciously might project onto the healing journey: ​ 1. CONDITIONING. Have you ever heard yourself saying, "I need to heal more/be healed so that I can attract love, start a business, have money or be happy?" ​ What's the role of conditioning? ​ As a protective layer, conditioning keeps us in projecting mode (an ideal situation/image), disconnecting and avoiding seeing us for what we are and our reality for what it is. ​ 2. URGENCY manifests as ​ - an intense need for things to change or be different, and it often arises from a deep desire to escape the pain or discomfort, dismissing other needs like those of your nervous system - a constant need to rush or pressure to heal - seeking quick fixes or distractions ​ What's the role of urgency? Survival-based. Through urgency, our system seeks resolution. However, the more unresolved trauma stays in our system, the more intense this biological impulse toward resolution becomes. It becomes protective, hindering resolution. ​ 3. LACK. Do you hear yourself saying often, "I don't have what it takes to heal" or " I don't have time, money, or energy?" ​ Lack and scarcity perceptions tell us that there's not enough of something or we don't have what it takes to heal. This often stems from a helpless state that is projecting onto the healing journey. ​ 4. RIGIDITY, particularly mental rigidity, or a perception that the healing journey should happen only in one way, in the way you want, think about or want it to happen. ​ ​ The role of rigidity is protective, ​to maintain a sense of control and familiarity; however, a healing journey is an unknown journey. ​ The book Embodied Healing offers tools and goes in-depth into the various layers of protection, regulation and healing, in a trauma-safe and nervous system-informed way.

I love this time of year, the harvest, the weather the pumpkins, sweaters, plaid and chai but it’s also a time where my focus seems to shift. I never know where it’s going to take me and I also know that those Seasonal Sads might be right around the corner. As the summer high slips away I’m curious to know what autumn brings. #adhdadult #adhdhobbies #hyperfixations #hyperfixation #hobbies #adhdmemes #adhdsupport #cptsd #seasonaldepression #autumnvibes

#WorldMentalHealthDay 💚🤍 - I love these quotes🦋. I want to share with you a bit of my story and my journey. People see the good, and everything I’ve done but not the journey I’ve been on during the last 13 years to get there. (Don’t read if easily triggered ⚠️) I have battled with my mental health for many years. I was bullied in school as I’m #autistic and #deaf in my left ear. I struggle with complex post traumatic stress disorder. #CPTSD #PTSD CPTSD started in December 2010. I ended up in a coma for a week due to undiagnosed type 1 diabetes. I was on life support and at one point it nearly got switched off! When I woke up, I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t talk so sign language was used to help me along with a lot of physical rehabilitation. It took around 18 months to build my strength back fully. I was bullied for being diabetic and people thinking it was linked to diet and exercise. Type 1 is autoimmune, it cannot be prevented. This triggered in me a bad relationship with food, exercise and anorexia which I’m now recovered from. I have spent time in and out of hospital admissions for mental health over the last few years. I’ve always been creative / musical / arts / dance, being in coma caused this to come to an end due to being too weak. I was using a zimmer frame to walk at the age of 15, not only learning how to manage a life long condition, I was recovering, whilst doing my GCSE’s and A Levels! I took the academic route, which I do not regret and teaching, however, performing sign language has been such an amazing thing for me. I love signing songs as it gives me back the creative part of me. #MentalHealth has been a rollercoaster for me and all linked with my health battles, it took so much from me. I am now into my recovery journey, and doing my best to stay focused as I don’t want to go back ever. Fighting to get what I have has been hard but so worth it! Remember there’s help out there, and I want people to know that you’re NOT alone, you are loved and belong here. #Recovery is possible, and don’t let anyone dull your sparkle. youngmindsuk childline_official samaritanscharity papyrus_uk mindcharity giveusashoutinsta jdrf_uk

Was let down by yet another person in my life. This is why I choose solitude and those I confide in are part of the online community, who I can share, be heard and never let down. It's taken everything to not react to how I feel inside.

This simple practice can be very healing over time, helping your system to take in the support that's already present in your life. This practice helps to foster a beautiful homecoming where you feel stable on the inside and feel good about yourself as a person. It creates a sense of well-being deep down in your tissues. Give it a try and let me know how it goes. #healing #mentalhealth #traumahealing #attachmenttrauma #relationaltrauma #cptsd #developmentaltrauma #support #relationshiphealing #attachmenthealing #insecureattachment #nervoussystemregulation #somatics

It's until you go through some really deep challenges and come out on the other side realizing that the other person you are caregiving for has a much larger burden because they can't get back to the norm anymore. It's then that you stop expecting anything from the person you love 💓 who is sick. At that fork in the road you find out what unconditional love is regardless if your loved one can never love you back in the same way. ❤️ Defining your new woman is critical when your former man and protector can no longer be your man in the same manner that he was since he is now permanently ill and lost in a different parallel universe called 😞 the brain 🧠 "their" brain injury their world 🌍. Caregiving is protecting sometimes a loved one from their very own self in addition to keeping healthy boundaries to keep a family functioning above water even if it's barely. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I pray constantly for everyone in this group to find balance and healing because happiness is definitely just the moments you can capture in the glimpse of your loved one suffering, or your own suffering. #tbisurvivor #traumaticbraininjury #cptsd #mentalhealthmatters #selfless #love #family #loss #disabled #veteranfamily #militarylife #trauma matters. #caregiver

I have always been considered shy and introverted. Being abused and then diagnosed with cptsd didn’t help. Going out to socialize is not really fun anymore. I want it to be fun. I really do. But as soon as I arrive someplace, I need to figure out where all the exits are. Then, I need to make sure I position myself so my back is against the way. If it's too noisy, then I am going to become over stimulated. I need to be able to hear everything just in case there is danger lurking near me. By the time I have checked the place out and determined that it is safe, I am mentally drained. At that point, I would just rather be home. #Whywomendontleave #ptsd #trauma #cptsd #domesticabuse #triggered #flashbacks

I went to Langsfest today - a music festival at a local cocktail bar! I was a very good boy and even got my favourite treat - a sausage! The musicians were very good and I was on my best behaviour because they don't normally allow dogs inside but I had to be there to help Daddy out, so they let me stay! I feel very lucky 😊 I did get a bit lost on the steps on the way home though, and tried to go along the wall instead - oops!

Can you feel the breakdown? (series) No. 7 STOP 23'' x 17'' (c)PTSD flashbacks are made of monsters. They're the worst kind of rabbit hole. You can physically feel like you're there, you can hear it, see it, feel it, depending on the severity. They've given me tunnel vision, literally taken my breath away, messed with my heartbeat and made me lightheaded. They can be followed by dissociation or just being so very exhausted and on edge. I don't go a day without flashes in some capacity. Luckily with therapy, my meds, my wonderful support system, and my art 🥰 things have been getting slowly better. It's hard work, but worth it and I deserve it. 🖤 Mental health awareness month 🫀 dear to my heart. just as important as anyone's physical health, valid, and shouldn't come with any stigma. ✨ Experimental mindscapes in a series through a breakdown ✨ Be kind and take care of yourselves 🖤 acrylic paint, ink, and posca markers on paper #artist #mentalhellness #mixedmedia #mindscape #acrylicpaint #acrylicpainting #screenprinting #drawing #mentalhealthawareness #art #painter #ptsd #painting #paranoia #bipolar #cptsd #ptsd #traumaprocessing #flashbacks

Have you always been highly self sufficient? Do you feel you have a good life and should be happy, but you’re not? Do you feel lonely in your relationship? As children the foundation for feeling secure is emotional connection with our caretakers. This provides a sense of security. If you grew up without sufficient empathy from others it is likely that you will experience emotional loneliness in your adult relationships. Midlife is often a time that we ‘wake up’ to ourselves, question what isn’t working, recognise the parts of our lives that feel deficient. If you grew up in a family where there was no-one to go to when you were scared/worried/etc, no-one to welcome your feelings with interest and reassure you, then you likely learned to become highly self sufficient. You learned to keep your feelings inside to avoid the pain of sharing them with someone who would not be supportive. Those of us who lacked emotional connection in childhood believe that if we want this closeness in our adult relationships, we must put the needs of others first, and deny our own. This leaves us feeling unseen and unheard- and alone with our feelings. Understanding the cause of these feelings of loneliness is the first step toward seeking and creating more fulfilling relationships. #midlife #cptsd #cptsdsupport #cptsdrecovery #midlifecounsellor #michelleseelig #thelivewellplayground #forwomen #midlifecounsellor #midlifecounselling #midlifeblogger #onlinemidlifecounselling #onlinecounsellingservicemelbourne #mindbodyhealing #therapy #midlifewomen #midlifecrisis #loneliness #melbournecounsellor #relationshipstruggles #anxiety #depression #peoplepleasing

… Kroppens visdom er enorm. Den snakker til oss kontinuerlig, men hodet er glad i å ta styring, være påståelig og mene at det har rett. Kroppen snakker stille. Med små hvisk og stille beskjeder. Jeg har tenkt på egen intuisjon som gresstrå på en eng, hvor et lite blaff av vind som rører gresset er intuisjonen som snakker på sin stille måte. Og den snakker bare én gang. Det er her vi må lytte og stole på det den forteller oss, før hodet kommer inn og rasjonaliserer det vi føler. Kroppen snakker stille helt til den ikke blir hørt. Den vil etter hvert begynne å snakke høyere volum på måter kroppen kan snakke på. Den sier i fra om noe er feil, den aktiverer nervesystemet som gir deg beskjed om å komme deg vekk fra en dårlig situasjon. Den kan gi diffuse symptomer når du trykker på gasspedalen, hvor du egentlig bør sette på bremsen å revurdere situasjonen du står i. Selv satt jeg til slutt igjen med kramper i kroppen, høy puls og en aktivering som fortalte meg «nå må du komme deg bort, her er det noe som ikke stemmer». Selv om hjernen forsøke å rasjonalisere - å normalisere «det er ikke så ille», «det føles så overveldende å dra», «han har jo lovet at det skal bli bedre nå» - snakket kroppen sin helt eget språk. Se gjerne litt nøyere på; Utbrenthet Diffuser sykdommer og symptomer Nedstemthet Rastløshet og tankespinn Kroppslige reaksjoner på «normale» situasjoner Hva om det ikke er noe galt med oss, hva vi er bare på feil sted, i feil jobb eller rundt feil mennesker? Det kan kun hver og en av oss vite. Men det er opp til oss å lytte. Og med all kjærlighet; ikke bli værende et sted som gjør deg syk, som gjør at du føler deg elendig, som gjør at du føler deg som en skygge av deg selv 🩷 Klem, Veronika #healing #traumer #traume #ptsd #cptsd #livet #lykke #glede #livsoppgave #mammakraft #nervesystem #nervesystemet #indrero #livsmestring #mentalehelse #psykiskhelse #kroppen

5/26/2024, 9:44:02 PM

Have you met your true self yet? 🙏 When we peel back these layers of trauma responses & coping mechanisms, we find our true selves. If we experienced childhood trauma, it can be a really disorientating discovery to release that our personalities, our behaviours, our social connections can be formed and stem from trauma responses or coping mechanisms. For example, I was always so shy as a child, and even a bit into adulthood. I'd always thought 'that's just me and who I am'. But on closer inspection, I realised that this 'shyness' was based around a trauma response of being scared to be seen and heard. If I was quiet, then nobody would notice me as much ask I'd be in less danger. It can be really challenging work to dive deep into these new levels of self awareness and it's always best done with some trauma-informed support. But on the other side of the difficulty lies the empowerment of meeting your true self. Your authentic self. The part of you that has always existed and just needs to be set free again. This part of you will feel like home. And once we practice connecting with our True Self, our nervous systems can gradually feel safer to let this part of us in the driving seat more. Finding our True Self is such an important part of the healing journey 🤍 If you're wanting to practice connecting with your true self, here's some questions you could reflect on: - What am I doing or who am I with then I feel most like my true self? (I.e safe, happy, fun, free, at peace) - What qualities do I like about myself? - What activities did I LOVE doing as a child? How did they make me feel? - Where about in my body can I feel my true self? Are there any sensations that go with this? #trauma #traumahealing #healingtrauma #traumainformed #childhoodtrauma #traumaresponse #survivalmode #copingmechanisms #cptsd #narcabuse #ptsd #polyvagaltheory #trueself #authenticself #healingjourney #fightorflight #freezeresponse #nervoussystem #nervoussystemregulation #traumasupport #traumarecovery

when we grow up receiving conditional, misattuned, or inconsistent affection & connection, we grow into adults who feel (unconsciously) attracted to and conditioned for “breadcrumbing” in relationships. being in these types of neglectful relationships leave us feeling confused, ashamed, like we’re too much or not enough. we may repeat patterns of self-blame, shaming ourselves for our intuitive needs & boundaries, just like we had to do growing up. this is a normal, healthy adaptation to our developmental environment. we accepted what we could get from those we loved, and clung onto those moments to stay in connection with our caregivers. and now, as adults, we don’t have to accept that kind of relationship anymore. we have options, choice, and power. we are learning that our needs matter, we are not asking for too much, and we deserve to feel seen, heard, and fully cared for. 🤍 changing this pattern requires us to cultivate self-compassion, grieve our past relationships, commit to respecting our own boundaries, and takes lots of practice & patience with self. ✨ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #breadcrumbing #conditionallove #emotionallyimmatureparents #eip #alanon #acoa #adultchildren #adultchildrenofalcoholics #adultchildrenofnarcissists #adultchildrenofemotionallyimmatureparents #adultchildrenofabuse #adultchildrenofaddicts #adultchildrenofdivorce #traumahealing #traumahealingjourney #selfcompassionjourney #selfhealing #selfhealers #cyclebreaker #cyclebreakers #iamenough #goodenough #depressionrecovery #cptsd #cptsdrecovery #therapymemes #therapyquotes

You know the single loveliest thing you could offer to do for a very depressed friend? Offer to dust for them. It transforms a museum of depression holding an un-lived yet still just about alive life, into a clean space inviting cleaner thoughts. Think how good you feel after a spring clean? That. Cleaning is high on the [can’t] list when you’re low, so that’s what I’ll offer to do in future. I just dusted my whole flat and feel afresh and anew. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #activelistening #support #adhdawaereness #cptsd #trauma #intersectional #adhd #suicideprevention #depression #depressionandanxiety #breakthetaboo #honesty #crisissupport #mentalhealthsupport #supportingothers #keepgoing #itgetsbetter #advocate
