when i look in the mirror i never trust what i see having trouble realizing me told what to do, what to feel where do i begin to find what is real i said no, “you mean yes” i guess not so sure anymore an uneven score wanting more do i deserve such i feel i have been missing much caught in a web of lies unheard for years, my many cries chains stay the course do you think he feels remorse overactive emotions dysfunctional neurotransmitters i’m not a quitter not even bitter i just need to know how do i go from here to there care self-distrust do i matter much it’s not a crutch i’m struck by a twist of fate stalemate maybe someone help me figure this out untwist my brain serotonin lost my mood the cost depressed on a quest to find my true mind real emotions presynaptic collapse my body reacts self-harm moving to my arm sound the alarm imperfections now found on my body’s sacred ground tell me the truth show me what to do is this true as tears drop shocked mediating tension hand is wrenching stainless steel again appeals to the theory of invalidation

It’s a waste of time and energy trying to reason with unreasonable people. Pour that energy into yourself and your healing journey instead. Even if the narc lives with you and it currently feels like a hopeless situation, you can still engage less. Yes it’s easier said than done. Yes the narcissist will probably get mad and lash out when they notice you engaging less. But also, YES anything the narcissist says to you is calculated to incite a reaction out of you. They get a little kick out of your reaction. Being aware of how you react and making a conscious effort to not react while you’re talking to the narcissist is how you begin to take your power back. Don’t beat yourself up if you can’t become the grey rock champion overnight. None of this is ever an overnight process. It’s all about baby steps one day at a time. This is where doing the emotional work comes in handy - processing your emotions (away from the narcissist) can actually help you to not react emotionally to them. Want a little taste of doing the inner work? Grab my free rage journaling guide at the link in my bio! Want to take your healing journey up a notch and join a safe community for survivors to connect, get access to my best courses, attend live events, and have a safe place to share or vent what you’re going through and share your wins? Then I invite you to join my community membership! The best part is it’s super affordable, you can get started for less than $1/day! Click the link in my profile to learn more. (Disclaimer: inner work won’t help you if the narc gets physically violent. If that happens or seems like it might happen, an Instagram post is not going to help you, get yourself to safety asap and get authorities involved! Your physical safety is always # 1!) #Narcissisticabuserecovery #narcissisticabuse #narcissistfree #narcissisticabusesurvivor #narcissisticabuseexpert #emotionalabuse #psychologicalabuse #mentalabuse #toxicistoxic #toxicpeople #gaslightingawareness #darktriad https://www.instagram.com/p/CpDuZjaONJE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Understanding Narcissistic Abuse: What It Is and How To Recover?

Narcissistic abuse is a form of emotional and psychological abuse that is perpetrated by someone with narcissistic personality disorder or traits. It can take many forms, including gaslighting, manipulation, emotional neglect, belittling, and exploitation.

The following are some common signs of narcissistic abuse:

A constant need for attention and admiration

Belittling, demeaning, or insulting language or behavior

An inability to acknowledge or apologize for mistakes

A lack of empathy for others

Manipulation and gaslighting

Control and domination over their partner

Emotional neglect or abandonment

Blaming their partner for everything that goes wrong in the relationship

Isolation from family and friends

Threats or violence.

Recovering from narcissistic abuse can be a long and difficult process, but it is possible. The following are some strategies that may help:

Seek Therapy: Therapy can provide a safe space to process your experiences and emotions, and can help you develop coping mechanisms for dealing with triggers and negative thoughts.

Build a Support System: Surround yourself with friends and family who are supportive and understanding, and who can provide emotional support when you need it.

Practice Self-Care: Take care of yourself physically and emotionally. This can include exercise, healthy eating, getting enough sleep, and engaging in activities that bring you joy.

Set Boundaries: Establish clear boundaries with the person who has abused you, and stick to them. This can include limiting or cutting off contact, and refusing to engage in behaviors that are harmful to you.

Challenge Negative Self-Talk: Work to identify and challenge negative beliefs and thoughts about yourself that were reinforced by the abuse.

Take Legal Action If Necessary: If you have experienced physical or sexual abuse, or if your partner has engaged in illegal activities, consider taking legal action.

Recovering from narcissistic abuse can be a difficult and overwhelming process. It is important to seek professional help to heal from the trauma of being in an abusive relationship. Therapy for narcissistic trauma, emotional abuse victims, and survivors of domestic violence are all available options for those seeking help. Professional counselors and therapists can provide support, guidance, and tools to help individuals manage their emotions, cope with the effects of the abuse, and develop healthy coping strategies. With the right kind of therapy, survivors can begin to heal from their traumatic experiences and move forward with their lives.

Remember, recovery is a process, and it can take time. Be patient with yourself and seek support when you need it.

what is Emotional Abuse?

Emotional abuse is a form of mistreatment that involves the use of tactics to manipulate, control, and harm another person emotionally and psychologically. Unlike physical abuse, which involves physical harm, emotional abuse primarily targets an individual's feelings, self-esteem, and mental well-being. It often occurs within relationships where there is a power imbalance, such as intimate partnerships, familial relationships, friendships, or workplace dynamics.

"TalkToAngel" is a representative of online counseling services, which provide virtual access to professional therapists and counselors. These services offer a range of benefits:

Emerging from the fog

I am starting to recognise the person in the mirror looking back at me. She looks so damn familiar to me these days... Like someone I knew long ago.... But she is also so very different. She has scars that are new and discreetly obvious & she wears them so proudly.

She is me and I am her.

We vowed we would never meet. 'Who I was' NEVER wanted to know 'who I became'...... And 'who I became' was too scared, embarrassed & far too ashamed to admit she ever knew 'who I was'.

And now, here we are.....

When I Learned THIS About Narcissists, Everything Changed! | Kristen Brown

Narcissists can stealthily creep into our lives and slowly turn up the heat until we're so confused, we're not sure what's even happening anymore. This is why when it comes to dealing with narcissists, it's vitally important to keep it very simple. When I learned this ONE thing, it completely flipped the way I dealt with narcissists from that point forward.

👉🏼 No more did I question myself

👉🏼 No more did I allow their words and behaviors to manipulate me and

👉🏼 No more did I parlay with them

I sincerely hope this truth lands for you with the whollop it landed for me. If you enjoyed this video, please give me a 👍 and comment below!

#Repost @psychologiststephanie with @use.repost ・・・ Yesterday's post on the 'Good Guy Abuser' stirred up a lot for many. Also it raised the question: 'how about female abuse?' So I decided to post on what common female abuse looks like. I’m posting on both genders separately because they look a bit different. The signs are only abuse when the underlying intention is to control, demean or punish. People will abuse often to regain an inner sense of control when lacking Inner Security and emotional empathy and when they may feel entitled. It's important to identify the signs, especially for men who might tend to deny the abuse more than women due to taboo/ shame/ .. It's important to identify when it might be happening in order to Self- protect (self-esteem, self- trust, freedom, etc). An abused man can be: · Afraid to tell anyone · Depressed or humiliated · Afraid he has failed as a lover and partner · Guilty about leaving her or scared of coping alone · Furious she could do or say the things she did · Confused because sometimes she acts loving & kind · Frustrated and sad because he has tried everything · Afraid of continued abuse if he leaves · Panicked he may lose his male identity if people know what has been going on · Worried about his financial security · Believes he deserved it When a (fe)male abuser: it’s good to remember that by abusing someone we actually are abusing ourselves. It ‘kills’ our spirit since it’s unnatural to hurt others. We’re worth finding out when our need for control developed, since this kills the possibility for us to (receive) love (= vulnerability). We heal by going to that inner wounded space (within a safe attachment) and process, re-evaluate our sense of entitlement (we’re often not aware of), learn to regulate our emotions and how to get our needs met in a way that will leave us fulfilled + connected (control =) #selfhealers#lifecoachingforwomen#manipulation#narcissisticabusesurvivor#narcissisticabuserecovery#narcissisticabuse#codependencyrecovery#codependentnomore#codependency#gaslighting#emotionalabuse (at Lismore, New South Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmACobzBZg7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

there has been a change in my vital signs something inside my mind has declined unwilling to further its investigation finally uttering true devastation do not put me on life support, a crutch though my skin is cool to the touch i believe i can hold on for a while longer offer me a transfusion, make me stronger or you could let me be, watch me float out to sea bury me there in the deep just a skeleton of who i used to be churning in the celestial ocean keeping an eye on my heartbeat's innermost motion do you think there might be a magical potion hidden in a subterranean cave beneath hoping to find something in which to sink my teeth holding my breath diving possibly to my death monsters of the depth follow my trail of blood wishing to feed from my flesh, trying to drag me through the mud black waters then envelope me

returned now to my home freed from the darkness, no longer needing to roam this is where i've longed to be, free no evil doers here, just me i need to speak my peace a simple question, rescue me please thought i could do it alone i need your help one more time place the tourniquet, make your pledge keep me from my final hemorrhage

Whatever the issue at hand is, the outcome of the “civilized conversation” will be one of or a mixture of the following: - You’re even more confused than before - It’s all your fault because you did this random thing that has never been an issue before but now it is because they need to find something to make it your fault - They’re “sorry and promise they’ll do whatever it takes to prove to you they’re serious about working things out” (this is just to buy time, which you’ll become aware of when you realize they haven’t done anything and their words were spoken just to buy more time) - They tell you whatever combination of words they know you want to hear but their actions in the near future tell a different story - Circular arguments that lead to no resolution - Exhaustion from the energy that was wasted engaging with this person - You continuing to believe the issue is you and it’s all on you to “fix” things The most important thing you need to understand when you’re dealing with a narcissist: anything they say and do is designed to get a reaction out of you. They are not thinking the same way you’re thinking. You’re committed to a resolution, they’re committed to chaos. When you look at things with the awareness that the narcissist is literally on a mission to cause, create, and continue the chaos - you begin to plant the seeds of allocating your energy accordingly. One day at a time, baby steps, you got this! #Narcissisticabuserecovery #narcissisticabuse #narcissistfree #narcissisticabusesurvivor #narcissisticabuseexpert #emotionalabuse #psychologicalabuse #mentalabuse #toxicistoxic #toxicpeople #gaslightingawareness https://www.instagram.com/p/Cln2ruiPSsX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What is your initial thought when you see this card? For me it’s pain. I am not sure how to navigate my desires because I repressed them for so long. Too much responsibility growing up… raised my brother… narcissistic mom who worked all the time… and a hyper-critical dad who confided in me like I was his therapist. There was no space to want. Now there is. And I don’t know what to do with it. My journey is just beginning. This is from the @healinnerchildoracle by @kylie_energyhealing and it is so very potent yet so very sweet. #bewitchedsunflower #innerchildhealing #narcissisticabusesurvivor #innerchildwork (at Mudhouse Coffee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl7VyC_umyG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

mentally abuse

Mental or emotional abuse is a form of abuse where a person uses behaviors or words to control, manipulate, or undermine another person's emotional well-being and self-esteem. It can occur in any type of relationship, including romantic relationships, family relationships, and friendships.

Some examples of mental or emotional abuse include:

Name-calling, belittling, or insulting the other person

Ridiculing or humiliating the other person in front of others

Ignoring or dismissing the other person's feelings or needs

Blaming the other person for everything that goes wrong

Isolating the other person from friends and family

Making threats or using intimidation to control the other person

Gaslighting, or manipulating the other person's perception of reality

If you are experiencing mental or emotional abuse, you may benefit from talking to a therapist or counselor. They can help you process your feelings, develop coping strategies, and work towards healing from the abuse. Online counselling services like TalktoAngel can provide a safe and confidential space to discuss your experiences and get support.
