How Living With Or Being Raised By A Narcissist Actually Traumatizes You

Never underestimate the effect of having a narcissistic parent or partner! Resist the urge to downplay the verbal and emotional abuse. You’re not supposed to be abused…by anyone!!! Today, I’m sharing some ways to recognize your own trauma, so you can take steps away from it…whether you leave or not. Shahida Arabi, talking about childhood abuse and trauma, wrote in her article, What It’s Like To Be A Complex Trauma Survivor of Narcissistic Abuse: “Survivors carry a sense of toxic shame, helplessness, and a feeling of separateness from others, of being different and defective due to trauma.” If you have experienced childhood abuse and/or trauma, you are more likely to attract a potentially abusive partner. Sad news, I know. And, at some deeper levels, you may be “comfortably uncomfortable” with it, at least for a while. It’s important to recognize your own trauma, and then to work it through so that you are no longer operating from it subconsciously. Today’s episode will definitely help.Big hugs!RhobertaHIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY’S EPISODE:How trauma interferes with your brain, learning, decision-making, and memoryWhy you don’t associate current issues with past trauma What trauma bonds are and how they keep you trappedSigns of past traumaRecognizing trauma for what it isUnderstanding the impact of trauma now and from the past Want clarity, insights, strategies, and support from me, Dr. Rhoberta Shaler? We can talk: Introductory session for new clients, $97CONNECT WITH ME: I invite you to like my pages and follow for further help with recognizing toxic relationships, realizing their impact, realigning your life, and recovering your self-confidence and ability to love and trust again.FOLLOW DR.
