Over ten years in and out of court, battling for custody of my child, I discovered a harsh reality – the family court system can be a treacherous path for victims of abuse. Losing custody felt like the end of my world, but little did I know it was the beginning of a journey toward self-empowerment. 💔 Navigating the complexities of family court taught me invaluable lessons. I became my own advocate, learning the system inside out, and, most importantly, recognizing the insidious nature of narcissistic manipulation. It’s shocking to realize that the very system designed to protect families sometimes fails those in need. However, my journey is proof that knowledge is power. To anyone facing the daunting prospect of family court, I implore you to arm yourself with information about narcissism and the legal intricacies. Understanding the system is the key to overcoming its pitfalls.

Did you know that we are subconsciously attracted to narcissists because it reminds us in some way of a key relationship from childhood?? 👧👶 That our version of love is us actually never feeling good enough in the relationship. This may have been because you either had a co-dependent or narcissistic parent or both! 💔 Both put pressure on you as a child to be and perform in a certain way to receive love. A co-dependent parent gets their worth from being a parent so you often remain childlike as pleases the parent even if you are an adult. ❌❌ A narcissistic parent creates fear so the child will try anything to please the narcissistic parent, by fawning in the hope that the abuse decreases and they will show love. Narcissists will use this as a control and manipulation tactic to trauma bond the child to them, giving them just enough breadcrumbs of love to give them hope.🍞 Often we actually don’t even know what a healthy relationship actually is because as we look back we see similar patterns of us always looking for external approval so we’d please and fawn.😔 Healthy relationships start with yourself - re-parenting yourself and giving all that you didn’t receive as a child. 👧👶 Let me know in the comments below if you are a bit of a people pleaser as a key sign of co-dependency if the intention is to make them like you. ❤ DM the word HEAL so I can help support you on your framing journey #psychologicalabuse #narcissists #lovebombing #narcissistsurvivor #boundaries #narcissistabuse #narcissistrecovery #love #trauma #divorce #domesticviolence #toxic #mentalhealth #traumabond #narcissisticandemotionalabuse #narcissisticrelationship #narcissistfree #codependency #covertnarcissism #flyingmonkeys #narcissist #traumabonding #narcissisticpersonalitydisorder #traumahealing #narcissisticabuse #traumarecovery #heal #narcissisticabusesurvivor #traumainformed #traumasurvivor

🧠📚 MENTAL HEALTH FICTION BOOK FEATURE✨ QOTD: Are you a therapist looking to incorporate the use of bibliotherapy into your practice? If so, I’ve got the perfect fiction recommendation for exploring codependency in relationships 🛋️📔 📚 “I Love You So Much It’s Killing Us Both” by Mariah Stovall explores the tangled web of emotions and attachments that bind us to those we love, exploring the highs and lows of a relationship teetering on the edge. At the heart of this story is the deeply complicated, decade-long friendship between Khaki and her former best friend Fiona. Both women grapple with avoidant and anxious attachment styles, and this book is an astute exploration of how these styles clash. Khaki and Fiona’s platonic love is intense, confusing, and encourages their worst impulses. Yet, their bond is undeniable, and it’s this tension between their love and their mutual avoidance of emotional intimacy that forms the core of the narrative. Khaki’s introverted, contemplative nature serves as a lens through which we explore the intricate dynamics of their relationship. She is equal parts terrified and tempted when Fiona extends an invitation to a party celebrating her newly adopted daughter (yt mom; black adoptee). This reunion forces Khaki to confront her own past, her fears, and the intoxicating memories of their shared interracial relationship history. I’ve been incorporating this book into my virtual therapy group and we’ve been enjoying the common threads between this and ‘Fighting for Our Friendships’ by Danielle Bayard Jackson 🙌🏾 I highly recommend both books and if you’re someone who uses Bibliotherapy in practice as these two fiction | nonfiction books pair very well together! Save & share with a bibliotherapy loving friend who would love these titles ✨ • • • #LiterapyNYC #BibliotherapyintheBronx #Bibliotherapy #Bibliotherapie #Bibliotherapia #Mentalhealthbooks #mariahstovall #iloveyousomuchitskillingusboth #TherapyBooks #codependency #therapistsofig #therapistsofinstagram #codependencyrecovery #fictionbook #fictionbooks #codependentnomore #codependencia #Fightingforourfriendships #Femalefriendship #Femalefriends

✨️ Holding Boundaries and Codependent Coping ✨️ 🦸‍♀️ As a person with codependent coping, you took a brave step and set a boundary. 😒 Unfortunately, your boundary isn't being well received by the person you set it with. So, what do you do? 🤔 Do you back off of your boundary? Do you hold it, and overcompensate in another area to make up for your boundary? 😳 And then the second guessing starts. Am I being unreasonable? Am I being selfish? Is this a barrier disguised as a boundary? 🧐 This can be our invitation to explore our beliefs around boundaries. What are my cultural beliefs around boundaries? Was I allowed to have boundaries in my family of origin? What would happen if I tried to set a boundary? What are my beliefs around boundaries in my closest relationships? 👩‍💻 When you work with a counsellor who understands codependent coping patterns, you can more fully understand boundaries based on beliefs, and as discussed in my last post, your values. 🥳 This work is challenging and yet worthwhile doing as the results are improved relationships and a more unburdened life! #codependency #codependentnomore #narcissisticabuse #boundaries #surreybc

Self-Awareness: Recognize and acknowledge codependent patterns in your behavior and relationships. 2. Set Boundaries: Practice saying "no" and prioritize your own needs and well-being. 3. Build Self-Esteem: Cultivate self-love and self-compassion through positive affirmations and self-care practices. 4. Seek Support: Consider therapy or support groups to explore underlying issues and learn healthier relationship dynamics. 📺 YouTube Videos on Codependency: 1. "Codependency Explained" by Psych2Go 2.

You are not alone. People pleasing made me physically sick and depressed. We all have been there. I can count on all my hands, your hands, and all our family member's hands how many times I've had depression episodes. I used to feel all alone. We all experience depression due to different things. However, my depression comes from taking care of other people and not feeling appreciated. Even now, when I find myself feeling down, it generally stems from lack of boundaries and getting overly involved in other people's lives. Does this sound familiar? I have cracked the code on what needs to happen. You need to put yourself first, and you need a guide. I tried doing it alone. It lasted for about 3 months, and then I was down again. In the bed crying, feeling like I had no one, and no energy to move forward. Grab a copy of my book! Click the link in my bio, and let's heal together!

Finding ME, Trauma Free. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? As I spent the last two years learning, healing and growing…I thought a lot about what I would name my business. One day at the park with my kids, it just came to me. Finding Me, Trauma Free. I had been thinking about my entire journey, the good the bad, where I’ve been and where I am now and thought, how do I sum up what I FEEL and portray what I want others to FEEL. I’d spent the better part of the last 10 years, but mainly the past 5 years, trying to “Find Me” again. I was lost. I was broken, I had every self worthiness wound coming out at once and I was stuck, in freeze. I felt no one was coming to rescue me but me. What happened!? How did I get here?! Who am I?! And why do I FEEL like this?! In my mind, I knew I was a good person, I knew I was a good mom, I knew I was a good friend and I knew that my new emotionally available husband loved me with an incredibly genuine love I’d never felt before in my life. So why did I feel this way inside my body. As I set out on my healing journey I spent countless hours listening to podcasts, having conversations, researching, reading, trying to fill the voids and the gaps in my life while trying to be an emotionally available mother and wife. I came across a specific podcast that I listened to on and off for a couple of years and one day I realized that this is what I’m meant to do. I not only was beginning to Find Me again and understand my pain but I grew an intense passion for wanting to help others not feel the same pain that I have. I wanted to become a Trauma Informed Coach to make a difference so that others wouldn’t have to go through what I had if possible. I wanted to help those that had experienced trauma, struggles in relationships, parenting, with disease and illness, with loss of family and friends and those that are having a hard time just moving forward in life as their free authentic self that they should be able to be. “Trauma Free.” The Phoenix is a symbol of Rising from the Ashes, overcoming challenges and transforming oneself. My mission is to have others say, “I’m finding me, trauma free, “ and learn tools to soar higher and fly free.

When you’re enmeshed with your mom, you’ll feel as if you can’t be yourself. You’ll feel like you are the parent and your mother is the child. If you don’t take care of her feelings and needs, you’ll feel guilty, as if you’re doing something illegal by prioritizing yourself. As a daughter, you’ll have to silence your voice, put anger aside, forget about your needs, and only focus on pleasing your mom. You’ll become a mini adult whose job is to be a caretaker of your mother, constantly feeling confused and wondering if her sharing everything with you is right or wrong? She tells you it’s because she loves you so much and you’re the only one that understands her, but something a part of you feels uncomfortable. She is clingy, needy and a part of you feels angry at your mom for needing you all the time. Why doesn’t she hang out with her adult friends? Why can’t she share her feelings with your dad or a therapist instead of you? If this is you, you may be enmeshed with your mom. Your feelings are normal but her behavior is not. To find out if your relationship with your mother is enmeshed, read my blog post “13 signs your relationship with your mom is toxic and enmeshed.” You’ll find the link in my bio, and the blog post by clicking on “blog.”

Life doesn't give us what we want but what we need. And l needed a lot to finally get me to step into being the man my wife needed. If you're a man who struggles with codependent patterns then you will most likely defer, delay, or simply shrink away from taking the lead in your marriage. Being a leader in your marriage doesn’t mean dominating or making all decisions—it means showing up. It’s about being present, aware, and proactive. It’s about sharing responsibilities and being reliable, not just when crisis hits, but in the day-to-day life that forms the foundation of your relationship. And yes I did this when crisis hit but you don't have to wait for that. As I learned as I've continued leading well after the crisis, being a leader means learning to trust ourselves and our judgment. It requires us to develop new skills like effective communication, emotional resilience, and time management. Mindfulness and somatic practices are crucial tools here. They help us stay grounded and connected to our feelings and needs, preventing us from slipping back into old patterns of seeking validation or avoiding discomfort. If I can do this so can you. I tackled this on while dealing with the challenges that the pandemic presented us, like losing my business and starting a new one. You have what it takes to the husband you aspire to be. You just have to put in the work.

There’s a reason the rearview mirror is so much smaller than the windshield. We should be aware of our past but focus forward. “But forget all that— it is nothing compared to what I am going to do. For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭43‬:‭18‬-‭19‬ ‭NLT‬‬ . . . #celebraterecoveryct #middlefieldct #hurts #habits #hangups #christcenteredrecoveryprogram #findvictory #jesuschangeseverything #veteransprograms #codependency #addiction #recovery #repost #celebraterecoveryofficial

Projects don't always work out. Relationships can take a turn into something you've never actually wanted. That hobby you used to LOVE in your 20s might fill you with dread in your 30s. You should quit! Failure IS an option and doesn't need to be a bad word. Holding onto something that does not and can no longer serve you is a recipe for being unhappy and unfulfilled. Therapy can help you learn how to let go.

Repeat after me: The more we feel we need to do or say something, the more we need to question it. Learn to remove the urgency when you are triggered. Take a timeout, emotionally regulate, and only proceed when calm and able to be constructive. Is this you? Drop a ❤️ in the comments if it is.

Another excellent bit of wisdom from a client of mine! When discussing codependency and the desire to support those close to us it can be very important to assess where this is coming from. Are we offering support to help that person or to help ourselves?? Are we burning ourselves out trying to 'fix' those around us?? This can determine the effectiveness of our support as supporting those who are not supporting themselves can be taxing on our mental health and the relationship with that person. The right support at the right time is the magic mix to help those around us. And supporting people how they need to be supported can be the difference between being seen as somebody who just your loved ones what to do, or as the person who will hold your hand and be there through the tough action it takes to make real changes in our lives. If you are finding it hard to support those around you and struggle to know when and how to support them without burning out yourself - get in touch or follow this page for more snippets of wisdom and guides to help you and those around you make the most of this life. Stay strong, and support yourself so you are able to support others when they need it ❤️ #Therapy #Counselling #codependency #WiseWordsFromAClient #Burnoutprevention #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy

A toxic response to wanting to discuss a past issue (even if it was earlier the same day) is: “why can’t you just let things go?” “You just want to be miserable!” “I’m done with this conversation “ Deep sighing Eye rolling Walking away If you can’t let something go, it’s usually because: 1. It’s a one time thing piled on a heap of other times it has happened with no repair and no change 2. We’re trying to get closure and validation from the person who is hurting us 3. We try to understand what went so wrong and why we can’t seem to let things go I walk you through how to get clarity through your inner work and how to plan your next steps in your relationship in my TAKE SPACE course.

Some people lose themselves in relationships, an an effort to “get the relationship going”, “make the relationship work”, or “save the relationship from ending”. You shouldn’t have to do any of these. A relationship takes its course naturally — to begin, to thrive, to go through ups and downs, to reconfigure, or to end. Both people have to make changes and adjustments in order for a relationship to evolve and last. If one or both people have to pretend to be something or someone, act or say things as if they feel certain feelings or have a certain sort of bond which they’re hoping to feel (but which they currently don’t) so that they can “hold onto the other person” or so that they “don’t lose” the other person whom they think is the one who’ll give them their “happily ever after” . . . IT WON’T WORK. Whether a relationship is a friendship, a life partnership, a biological or family or relative relationship, business partnership, or a marriage, BE IN RELATIONSHIPS WHEREIN YOU CAN BE YOURSELF — authentically, intentionally, and happily YOU! #relationship101 #yourtribe #partnership #healthyrelationships #friendshipsgoals #siblingsbelike #lifepartner #parentslove #parentingstruggles #relatives #thrivingtogether #notmyresponsibility #ownyourshit #therapyworks #lmft #energyneverlies #cptsd #codependency

This one is hard to write and even harder to admit. If you’re a parent with complex PTSD, you may feel some resentment over the love and attention your children receive 💔 You give them so much more than you ever got and they seem to take it for granted. The truth is, children who have their needs met DO take love and attention for granted and that’s a good thing! 🤗 As a result of you meeting their needs the best you can, they will go out into the world expecting and receiving that care and support in their adult relationships. They won’t struggle with the boundary issues and codependency you do. But you can’t help feeling the pain of your inner child who never got what they do. 👉For solutions, read here: laurakconnell.com/parent-complex-ptsd #cptsd #complexptsd #complextrauma #innerchild #dysfunctionalfamily #traumahealing #traumacoach #itsnotyourfault #youarenotalone #youmatter #childhoodtrauma #narcissisticabuse #emotionalneglect #emotionalabuse #motherwound #fatherwound #mentalhealth #codependency #boundaries #reparenting

First off, I wanted to express gratitude for all the amazing humans that have ordered my art and have co created one of a kind pieces with me. Secondly, I want to impress the importance of being serious before you inquire about a piece. I’ve received several inquiries as of late where people started the conversation about ordering a piece and had me sketch multiple rough drafts only to, after weeks of conversing, decide not to order anything and/or ghost me. While I appreciate the co creation process that I do with all my clients, when you’re not serious and you aren’t ordering, it takes time away from my business to work with clients that are legit. Going forward, please only reach out with serious inquiries and I will be asking for pay in full or a down payment to get started on your epic piece. Boundaries set. Let’s make some artistic magic!

People pleasing is (brillant) adaptive strategy that grows from a deep rooted fear of abandonment. When we people-please, we turn on ourselves. We abandon our needs and desires because choosing ourselves feels like it’s going to threaten the relationship. It’s really scary for that child inside that is afraid of the loss of connection. And so we please to survive. When we are doing all of these mental acrobatics, we aren't telling ourselves, or anyone else for that matter, the truth. We are out of integrity. Underneath your secondary survival tactics is a fountain, abundantly overflowing with INTEGRITY, wisdom, strength, and worthiness. And when we hold the little person inside that contorted in all kinds of ways in order to get love – and say “My darling, you make so much sense. I see all the ways that you helped us to survive. You don’t need to do that anymore. I’ve got you ” < We begin to heal and to allow ourselves to experience who we are underneath all of the hustling for approval. We starts to feel safe as we are. And what a gift that is for our young parts.
