@therealniccoy: The most dangerous thing a narcissistic mother steals isn’t your childhood. It’s your self-trust. #narcissist #narcissticabuserecovery #traumahealing #childhood #metacognition
Girl, it’s been 17 years since I went no-contact with my mom. And you’re absolutely right, it’s still her voice I hear. It’s still the fear of making HER angry that keeps me from speaking up for myself, and feeling like it’s wrong to defend myself. Not being capable of handling confrontation. Because it wasn’t allowed. I was just diagnosed with PTSD, ADHD, CPTSD, and dissociative disorder at 45, and your videos speak to me the most as I’m trying to understand and heal myself. Thank you for what you do. I am so grateful for you. ❤️

I’m going to be vulnerable and real for a minute, so please don’t attack me. My oldest daughter came into the world when I was 21 years old. I was dealing with a lot emotionally and she has ADHD. I know I was too hard on her before I realized she had ADHD. I know I was critical, and even though I told her I loved her all the time, which I do very much, I know that my criticisms have held weight with her even although as soon as she got the diagnosis, I learned what I could about ADHD and changed my parenting to better support her. As an adult, she still is very affected by how I treated her up until age 9. Granted, we have done some family therapy, and I have made amends, but I know it’s not enough. She will be turning 30 this year, and I’m open to suggestions on how I can be a better support person for her and my grandsons, because right now they really don’t have anyone. Thank you 😊

True story. Not many concepts apply to everyone but i believe this is a universal experience to survivors of a narcissistic parent

Thank you for this. 🙏🏻 I needed to hear this. 20 years ago, my mom told me that we will “fix” me. It has taken most of my life to realize the only thing needing fixed was what I was told and the voice she left in my head. ❤️

This wonderful advice and it's a little eerie, because use this practice I call thought tracing and it's what you are describing. It starts with a question, What is the source or seed to this thought or action. I explore that territory with as much accuracy as I can with my faulty human memory. The younger you are the harder it gets. Then once I find the source I make a choice by asking a second question do I want to this to keep having power over me and I do this with both good and bad things. It's really powerful and it passively catches new voices seeping into your consciousness before it's gets a chance to take root. Really powerful. Thank you for sharing. 💛

“Not good enough” is a very common limiting belief given to many by someone else. 💔

As a millennial I always picture my automatic negative narrator as a cassette tape, A side has been recorded over luckily but the B side is more stubborn 💔

... and then you marry your mother for 34 years. Then you write a book for 5.5 months, got happy. Didn't withdraw. Enough work done to be free of blame anger, and resentment. She had to leave. Questions already had answers. Three years in, divorced. @ 67 I am living my best life. (free) better late than never.
Grateful for your content.

Me to a 'T'... No matter how hard I tried/worked to love myself and be my own person without her, I could still hear that voice of her in my head, it was so strong! Even for relationships, I still hear her in my head blaming me because it went wrong, or burning unnecessary insecurities that keep/make me overly anxious attachment and end up losing them. ugh! I just feel it will never end!! I'm 57, no man no kids. It sucks! I realize I'm part of it but just need support. I can never find a good therapist as I feel they're secretly judging me. So frustrating!

I helped a 72 year old man realize this about his abusive father's voice during my internship in addiction treatment. Every time he showed vulnerability and cried he'd say that he hated himself for showing emotions. The minute he realized this is the minute he started healing. One of the most powerful experiences i had during my internship, and that's when I decided to continue in this field after I get my degree ❤️

I just realized after decades I’ve been carrying a feeling that I’ve done something wrong. It’s been a monkey on my back since childhood. The wound IS that I was critizied and rejected by momma. Now that I am aware of that monkey it’s been liberating, but requires a lot of self awareness.
