@freshwatercounseling: Narcissism is the extreme attempt of self to avoid shame. That inflated ego isn't real confidence. It's protection — a way to avoid feeling the low, shamed self underneath. If you grew up around that, it was never about you being too much. It was shame, looking for somewhere to land. You are not bad. You are not broken. You can learn. 🤍 From my book, Healing Ourselves in the Aftermath of Trauma. Link in Bio #therapytok #traumatok #innerchildhealing #HealingJourney #narcissisticabuse
