    Hi guys!! Just wanted to share info. about my upcoming life coaching certification course. Some people plan to become life coaches - others 'fall into it'. I think when a person has gone through something so life altering, something that pushed them outside the realms of their authentic self, something that so profoundly changed not only their self perception, but altered their nervous system, dis-regulated their brain and warped their reality..... and yet when they manage to reconnect with self, and heal the deep emotional wounds that are hidden to the naked eye and misunderstood by those that have never been through an experience like that - well, it's only natural to feel a deep desire to want to help others that have been through that. That's how I 'fell into coaching' and it's been an amazing experience to help individuals all over the world to break through the side effects of cptsd and/or side effects of narcissistic abuse. If YOU are interested in becoming a life coach - be sure to check out my website: micheleleenieves.com/narcissistic-abuse-recovery-coaching-certification/

    Boundaries consist of 3 steps: 1. Say what you don't like. 2. Say what will be the consequences if step 1 not respected. 3. Execute the consequences if step 1 not respected.
    Don't miss step 3, otherwise what you do is empty talk not boundaries

    We teach people what we will or will not tolerate by what we will or will not accept. There will be pushback initially but with repeated consistency the new you will be received. They will have no choice to accept you any other way than the new version of you. Consistency is key, people respect ✊ those that respect themselves ❤️💪🏼

    This is so timely! I have had those in my life who don't respect my "new boundaries" get angry, cry, hang up on me, be passive aggressive, target me on social media. I must learn to retrain my thinking because I was triggered today believing I had to get involved in helping someone in a difficult situation. Stopping the cycle was physically painful. Thanks for reminding that it's ok to say no.

    "We teach people how to be with us", so true! We have more control in relationships than we realize, especially being raised in dysfunction that teaches us not to trust ourselves. People treat you like you allow them to. Unfortunately I've seen the negative result of that. I love when you show the thought processes in our minds! Thank you for another insightful video Michele!

      New name which no one knows Hello. I know how you feel as a Christian who believes in the sanctity of marriage, but God does not want you to be abused and damaged by another person. You could always let her initiate a divorce and then you know it wasn’t you who divorced her... separation is not unbiblical especially in situations of abuse I believe. Hang in there and stay strong

    Thanks for all your great output Michelle.
    I can relate to the frustration, bitterness, anger and resentment about Toxic, gaslit DOUBLE STANDARDS outlined by @Craig M 🙌, - but I also respect myself enough to know I do not want to carry the poison of such emotions - - - and I also respect those 'perpetrators' for existing to show me my 'stuff'. However...
    ...The QUANDRY becomes: 👉 How does one let go of feelings around such personal INJUSTICE ? Because it seems that simply holding the NEED for the boundary is counter-productive in two ways:
    1. I am predisposed to avoiding that which I do not want, and will subsequently attract it.
    2. The peace and free spirit I seek to release from within will not emerge from its opposite: fear.

    Good points to know your triggers, emotions, & emotional flashbacks. I am an empath with cptsd & get ignored by everyone. Have a legal situation with family & failing Mom that makes it all worse. 90% of population seem to be narcissistic/selfish/fake...so sad. The dismissive & ignoring people are hardest as you are constantly running after them to communicate. Thanks for the info 👍💕

    Awesome. You must have been in my head in the last couple of weeks. My healthy Mum eliminated my boundaries as a kid when being manipulated by my narc sister. I was happy to recently heal a 31 year old wound, told my Mum (as I felt safe to do so) and she had a hissy fit and sent me a package of stuff I was going to have when she was dead. That sent a clear message to me, but then said she’d healed the trauma that lead to the hissy fit a while ago and told me that maybe I’m not capable of forgiveness now. She wanted resolution but she went into this angry rant with her eyes open. All I could think of was holding on to my boundaries and told her I couldn’t have her doing this to me when I’m narc free at the moment trying to reset my stress levels. I’m not going to confuse forgiveness with trauma bonding again. I feel NET (healing the wound therapy) is the closest to forgiveness there is available and helps set your boundaries. PS Loving being narc free at the moment, it’s a new lease on life.

    Yes, this was exactly what happened when I tried setting a boundary when I was being yelled at by someone. I hung up the phone and told them I'm not going to be swore and yelled at calm down first then if you want to have a civil conversation I'm open. They sent me a string of messages degrading me calling me stupid and threatened to end our relationship just over this, while previously one day they denied my call simply because I called while they're were eating but I respected that and did not attack them.

    Even healthy people will be suprised. Hun, if you’re different, i notice & call you on it; just own it. Its all good, if we’re not changing, we’re not growing. Even the small changes can be monumentous, challenging and downright scary or paralyzing. That you give a damn enough about yourself to actually work on yourself, be aware of yourself speaks volumes of you as a human... being. Unfortunaltely not many actually even know what that means. Oh well.. Here’s to those that get it. Cheers

    I realized I didn't have enough boundaries with my almost ex...I locked that junk down. I have ALL the boundaries. And my friends know I have boundaries. I don't play. Anything else on their part is rude. We've had discussions about this and they feel the same (my friends anyway) I don't talk to the almost ex. We communicate through text only, and not much at that....and I'm good with that. The only reason we communicate is because we share a child. I had no boundaries before he left. I realized I couldn't live like that anymore. I gotta do me now so I can take care of our son.

      That's a common manipulative tactic narcs use to shame or guilt you into removing whatever boundaries or progress you've managed to make. They project and gaslight with the hopes that you will start doubting your own judgement, then cave and cater to their needs just like before. Don't fall for it! And if it's too much to handle, seriously consider leaving/going no contact with the narc/toxic person. Good luck!

    Your video is so thought-provoking.
    I have a question. My son just turned thirteen. Unlike a few months ago, he has started staying in his room all the time, door locked always etc. He also seems resentful of spending any time with the family.
    Now, I grew up on a narcissistic home where I was punished for having any boundaries at all. I do not want to mess things up with my son.
    But I do not really know what is normal or healthy when it comes to boundaries with a 13 year old boy.
    I welcome tips or advice on what I should allow, what I should ignore, how to handle conflict of any kind with my son etc. Please help. Thank you.

      I avoided my parents like that because they used to be very grouchy and mean. They would yell over minor things and walk around with angry looks on their faces and it made me uncomfortable so i hid out in my room. Then they turned it on me and said i was being a snob for not socializing.
      Maybe something about your behavior is pushing your son away and you're unaware of it.
      My advice is to talk to him once and say this "Hey I noticed you've been spending a lot of time in your room. If it's just the normal teenage thing of wanting your space then I totally understand, but if anything is making you uncomfortable using the rest of the house please let me know so we can work on it together. Im not trying to give you a hard time or anything, it's just that you're my son and I love having you around so I just want to make sure I'm not doing anything to push you away. If I am you can tell me and I won't get mad.

    What do you do when your daughter is the narcissist. She studies narcissistic behavior then claims everyone else is narcissistic. She refuses to communicate and says she’s creating boundaries, but these look more like walls she puts up after she spews ugliness, slander and lies about us. She refuses to allow you to ask a question by saying it’s a boundary issue. I think it’s emotional and relationship abuse.
