@narcissisticabuse__: Hi, it’s Juliana. The first time I watched this, I thought it was water. The second time, I noticed something was off, but I still kind of believed it. The third time, I saw the paper almost immediately. What does this have to do with abuse? Well, your brain doesn’t see reality. It primarily predicts it based on past experiences. That’s why it can take a couple times to realize it’s paper, not water. And developing an internal sense of safety after experiencing abuse works the same way. You can’t just say, “I’m safe now.” You need to update your predictions. Because your brain has to experience safety enough times to believe it. For example, I know a woman whose heart would race anytime people raised their voices. So she started listening to that show Piers Morgan has. Why? Because people often argue and talk over each other there. She would turn up the volume and practice staying grounded while it happened. Of course, it took a lot of practice in many different scenarios. But the point I’m trying to make is this: Feeling safe after abuse doesn’t have to be super complicated. You can use small things, like clips from Piers Morgan’s show, to “update” your predictions. If you need help with this or someone to talk to, you can always send me a DM or schedule a session with my team, the first one is free. We help people heal from abuse, so I’m here if you need me. To your healing, Juliana ❤️‍🩹
