To have someone understand your pain is a different type of intimacy.

🎟️ 'The price of admission to a relationship with an extreme narcissist is self-annihilation.' —Pete Walker, Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving
A narcissist is incapable of ever loving you! They may claim that they love you, but what they mean is they love the IDEA of you. They love the convenience of you. They only see you in relation to themselves. They will never see YOU. #psa #codependency #narcissisticabuse

Why breaking up w a narcissist is NOT like a normal breakup and takes so long to recover from
A narcissist will kill your spirit, until you are an unrecognizable shell of the person you used to be. And then they blame you... You end up being the reason & the villain, in all of the chaos... they created. 🎯 ~Maria Consiglio~ #NoContact🚫

Self-harm is NOT just cutting oneself. It can also be over-exercising, over-eating, not eating enough, substance abuse, skin-picking, punching, biting, nipping, hair pulling etc.

You feel stuck. You're numb, disconnected, and feel like you're floating above your body. You might be stuck in functional freeze:

An estimated 6.2% of the general population have Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Narcissists thrive on abusing other people, including, sadly, their own children. This article examines narcissistic abuse and its effect on the children of narcissists. buff.ly/3fo37wP

It's hard to heal from narcissistic abuse when you don't quite know what it is yet. It's such a complicated form of abuse. When you are able to put a "name" to it & really understand the dynamics of it, things will finally start to make sense. #EducatedEmpaths✨

A big part of trauma recovery is getting to know the real you. In service of survival we often give up our authenticity and become whoever others want us to be. Healing is uncovering your true self hidden beneath the lies & coping strategies you adopted to survive.

Psychosis can look different for everyone. Shedding light on the daily realities of psychosis paves a path to reduce stigma.

Narcissists are professional script-flippers. When you finally stand up for yourself, expect to be painted as the aggressor and for the narcissist to immediately begin to play the victim.
