    When I was just beginning to learn about narcissistic injury, all the narcissistic experts were 100% focused on the characteristics of the narc without ANY mention on how, or why, we get involved with them in the first place. At the time, I had been deeply involved with a disordered personality type who idealized, devalued, and discarded me. He moved on to another woman in just 5 short weeks. My head was spinning. I read everything I could get my hands on in regards to narcissism. After studying the subject for a while, I really wanted to understand myself and my part in the relationship. You are one of the rare professionals that is addressing this issue on a deep level. It is so needed. I understand that at first we want to learn what the heck just happened, but when we remain focused on the narc's undesirable traits, we get stuck in the victim phase and never learn about ourselves in relationship to our own personal power. I also know to heal takes a strong desire and commitment to do the work as it is not easy, but neither is staying stuck in old wounding. So thank you for your work, it is tremendously helpful.

      To me, love is when someone else's happiness makes you happy. Narcissists are often jealous of happy people and would rather destroy their happiness. A guy once told me, "love is when someone makes you happy." This guy was clearly a narcissist. He was saying that because he was having an affair with a co-worker (and I guess he was trying to justify his actions to me....... I dunno why he was spilling that TMI to me.). I had just had my first born child, and I was exhausted but happy, because my kid was happy. So to me that guy was wrong about "love." He didn't love that woman he was having an affair with. It was just lust. That woman "made [him] happy." That's not real love. That's selfishness. And it's good that he did not want children, because that kind of person can never "love" a baby. Babies regularly make you uncomfortable and unhappy -- they can't smile until they are two months old, they poop, they pee, they vomit, and they create new and unexpected monetary expenses. If you can't self-lessly "love" a baby -- and make their happiness your own, you will not be able to properly raise a child. Narcissistic parents don't care about their baby's wellbeing over their own. When I worked in a newborn nursery, there was a morphine addicted mother who had a critically ill baby, but she wanted to leave against medical advice because she had to go to a "New Year's Eve" party. That is a person who will never love anyone except themselves. The only solution for dealing with those types of people is to not be in a relationship with them. Unfortunately for the child, who has no choice.

    1. What am I feeling?
    2. Where on my body do I feel it?
    3. What is my first memory of this feeling?
    4. What belief/thought did I create?
    5. Grieve. Experience pain and let it go.
    6. Express empathy for abusers and self and Forgive yourself.
    7. Hold them accountable. Give back to them. See my own responsibility and how did I attract and create this.
    8. Anger work. Write rage letter and judgement and swearing.
    Express physically.
    9. Self forgiveness for how did I adapt? What dysfunctions did I develop?
    10. Envision how you want to see yourself. I am safe. I am okay.

    I feel the same way about pedophiles. My biological dad (whom I’ve only just met a few years ago, he was in prison for 18yrs) he was a child molester. I asked him to tell me his life’s story while he was still locked up, so he told it to me in letters. That was one heart wrenching tale of trauma, severe abuse and sexual exploitation. It is a learned behavior. The behavior is so wrong and damaging, and they are acting out their own horrific trauma.

      No excuse. Not just your Dad. But any abuser. Their own abuse doesn't give them the right to abuse others. They still know right from wrong. If I abuse someone then I need to be held accountable and not say "well I was abused so that makes it OK."

      Dear sarahcouture, I'm very glad that you were able to meet your biological father and correspond with him.
      The influence of evil (demonic) spirits definitely also plays a role. They are invisible most of the time, but a real factor in our lives. Yet all human beings have free will -- we can choose (decide) what we want to do and what we do not want to do. Many people are deceived and do not see things that way. Consequently they do not will themselves to rule over their bodies (their inborn rebellious, "sinful" fleshly nature) and resist the temptations of the devil.
      Without God's help it can be difficult to exercise self-control. It can be difficult to think clearly. We need to be willing to turn to God for help. If we are willing to do what we know He wants us to do (which is always the best thing -- both for ourselves and the other people in our lives), He helps us to live it.
      God (the God of the Bible, of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob -- the only true God) does not want anyone to be lost (to experience eternal damnation in hell) but for everyone to be saved (to have eternal life in the kingdom of heaven). He is merciful and forgiving. Through repentance and accepting Jesus Christ as our Saviour, we can receive forgiveness of sin and be in right standing with God (our Creator).
      "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. *For our struggle is not against flesh and blood* , but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places [the spirit realm, the "celestial sphere" or "the air"]. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm."
      (Ephesians 6:10-13, from the New American Standard Bible, 1995 edition)
      People interested in the testimonies of survivors of S@tan!c r!tu@l @buse could have a look at the Ytube channel of J0n W3dg3r, and at the website 50v0!ces.org (two consonants changed in the name of the website). There are also the writings of an ex-Ilmnti progr@mmer (available at inter alia sv@lispe@ks@g@in.wordpress.com -- I substituted @ for "a" to try to prevent this comment being deleted.)
      Wishing you all the best sarahcouture.

    • @alrinaleroux9229
      @alrinaleroux9229 8 місяців тому +3

      We need to read the Bible (a good, trustworthy translation like the old King James Version or the New American Standard Bible) for ourselves, and think about it for ourselves -- then we won't be so easily misled by false religions, false churches (many of whom call themselves "Christian", but teach a false gospel message), false teachers and false prophets. It's a matter of (eternal) life or death.
      Many Roman Catholics are very devout believers who sincerely want to live good lives, and I respect their devotion, but they are deceived. The Roman Catholic Church is a false church with a false Christ and an unbiblical (works-based) message of salvation. They have many unbiblical beliefs and customs. There are many churches that People need to read the Bible for themselves (all of it, not just selected verses) and find out the truth.
      Many so-called "Christian" churches are counterfeit and do not teach a Bible-based salvation message. They do not truly respect God and His Word.
      Every part of the Bible should be read and interpreted within the context of that particular part of Scripture, and also within the context of the Bible as a whole, otherwise it could easily be misinterpreted.
      The devil twisted Scripture into a lie when he tried to tempt Jesus. He misinterpreted it on purpose.
      Some preachers and teachers are themselves deceived, and then go on to deceive others. But carelessness and wishful thinking could also cause us to misinterpret the Word of God. (I am speaking from personal experience.)
      We need to be careful to stick to what the Bible says. Everything else must be measured against it, since it is mankind's most trustworthy source of knowledge.
      It is crucial that we read attentively and think carefully about what we read. Jesus said in Mark 4:23-25,
      "If any man has ears to hear, let him be listening and let him perceive and comprehend. ... Be careful what you are hearing. The measure [of thought and study] you give [to the truth you hear] will be the measure [of virtue and knowledge] that comes back to you-and more [besides] will be given to you who hear. For to him who has will more be given; and from him who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away [by force]."
      (In this instance I quoted from the Classic edition of the Amplified Bible, to make the meaning clearer, of what Jesus said here.)
      I've read that some Bible translations, like the English Standard Version or ESV, used to be considered dependable, but have since been corrupted (in the case of the ESV, with its 2016 translation). The discovery of the corruption of some translations has galvanized me into informing and warning others. I think the reality of being under attack is strongly motivating and can make us treasure and appreciate God's Word (the Holy Bible) all the more.

    37 years I’ve been with a Covert Narcissist. At the beginning, I thought he was less pain than my childhood. After 10 years, I thought it could be worse at least he doesn’t hit me. I read a book, “ The Four Agreements.” It stated that one will only tolerate the amount of pain one has inflicted upon oneself. I must have tolerated a lot of self inflicted mental pain. It’s getting very close to lack of tolerance. Or possibly I am implementing boundaries because I recognize my self worth. I can’t wait to read your book. 📕

The last two lasts for more than two decades, my career and life / selv brok a part. I always able to walk away physically, but the shadow followed...even though I went to several therapists/ psychologists, went back to Christinaty, watched whole bunch of videos on subject...I just got stuck, my mental and emotional weal being are on crucial level, I went from a archiver to a level of survival. The message is eye/mind opening beyond words, if I have to say something as we always saying but without realize is "the power is always within one 'selv'" and the Way is The Way. Thank you for such honesty and deep insight.

    Children minimize because they don’t have away out. I look back on my life and see why I ran away, it was I knew something was wrong and I knew I had to get away. I carry the pain to this day and I can see that I knew there was some self worth otherwise I would have stayed and let them continue on harming me. Sure I didn’t have the skills to take care of myself, but I knew there was no other way out. I want to heal because the anger and emotions I carry are dysfunctional.

    Developing the ability to recognise & have compassion for other peoples traumas and subsequent behaviours is the first step to being truly able to look in the mirror and offer yourself the same compassion. When you do this, you can then objectively search & discover the pinnacle moment during your childhood where your worst day cycle was imprinted into your emotional limbic system. From there you can then figure out the boundaries you need to support the management of this discovery. I would never had pieced any of this together without Kenny. This man was the missing link for me. Thank you Kenny!

    I love how you explain codependency and how you teach on personal responsibility and accountability for your part of the relationship. Unfortunately I don’t see many teachers who teach on this subject talk about accountability so thank you. When I started to heal from complex trauma I learned to love the person and focus on the behaviors of that person to separate it since everyone has their own battles. I no longer let abusive behaviors into my life. However I can still appreciate and call out the gold in that person and recognize that they have strengths and are valuable even though their behavior isn’t so nice. Taking accountability for different levels of vulnerability in my life. It also gives you back your power. Thank you I love your teachings and your style! ❤

    I saw this yesterday, and it was JUST what I needed right then. I was starting in my cycle, and listening to this helped me get outta that funk. This information resonated with me in two ways:
    1) You said something like "we get the love we think we deserve". That hit like bricks. And instantly reminded me of a CS Lewis quote "The door to hell is locked from the inside." That has certainly been true of me cause I stayed. I didn't leave. THAT was my choice. And I am grateful to be far enough along in my recovery to own MY choices and to see that it is only MY choices that will get me out. Self acceptance is salvation.
    2) Empathy with the Dsyfunctional person. That one I never got. I was like "HOW?" they are doing mean sh!t to me. But the way you phrased it helped me put it in this fashion: the person who is doing dysfunction things feels horrible. They want to feel good. So they do things that make them feel good (about themselves). THAT just happens to be being toxic to those around them. Its 1 upping - and a person likely only 1 ups, because they feel 1 down. And I said that to myself again "THEY feel HORRIBLE about themselves". And I think I felt some kind of love for them, some kind of forgiveness, because I've been there. I've felt horrible and I tried SO many things to feel better (mainly about myself).
    It doesn't make me want to hang out with them more, it just makes me not hate them - not be enmeshed/codependent with them.

  • @user-ee5om8wy7u
    @user-ee5om8wy7u 7 місяців тому +7

    Thank you for reminding me about personal responsibility. Being stuck in blaming others for my problems is basically narcissism. Isn't it what they do - blame everyone else for their problems?
    But one thing that helped me at least start to notice that I entered a toxic relationship is learning about emotional abuse. For example, I didn't know that being ignored was abuse. I didn't know that a person who is always happy around me and then suddenly turning cold and distant with no explanation was toxic. Worse, I was trained to never even ask a question about why someone became cold and distant. I felt it would make me stupid/needy/negative if I asked. As a result, in response to coldness, I would feel guilty and bad about myself and try to be better(take on a bigger role of a bigger "doormat") in spontaneous ways, hoping that being more servile and slave-like and more pleasing would stop someone's coldness. Today I know my attempts to please more would only enable their coldness more(rather than eliminate it).
    Today, I am training myself to RUN away from a person with hot-cold-hot-cold behavior instead of agonizingly reflex on why another person does this. That recognition of abusive/toxic behaviours is helping me a lot.

    Hi Kenny, I told my therapist that I am an empath. He does not believe in that. I told him I don’t think I am a magically majestic being. I have good intuition. I also mentioned that because of my childhood trauma, I pay attention to tones of voices, expressions, and I am an empathetic human being. So now I decided an empath is a term used for a person who has awareness. So it’s not actually real. I do believe in science, and a the continuum. Narcissism is at one point than an empath is at another point. If Narcissism is real then an empath is. That doesn’t necessarily mean an empath is majestic. An empath can be brutal without mindfulness. An empathic person has awareness, and the ability to choose to improve their quality of life. Most importantly recognize and take responsibility for their behavior.

    Thank you Kenny! I have been dating my narcissist (and possibly sociopathic) mother for 20 years.
    Relationships including platonic friendships have mirrored experiences from childhood. In the past year, I have finally started excising toxic people; creating boundaries to keep me safe and healthy. It has been really tough.
    I am so horrified looking back and facing how I let others treat me. Watch out world, mistreat me now and you'll wish we never met!

    Every video is so true....and what I appreciate most is that he tells about the responsibilities of co-dependents, that is something that nobody's does, and it's so important because if you're watching this kind of videos 90% you are... so switch the focus on you.. actually I can recognise myself 90% of what he said I never see myself in the angel position, I've always feel like i wasn't doing enough taking all the blame on me and all the responsibilities about everything i couldn't do to help and fullfill the continues requests of every one was around me i subconsciously recognise as a NP or co-dependent it's really like a superpowerfull sixtsense for past traumatised people 😅😅 my dad was a narcisist, my wife, many of my friends were co-dependent or narcisist, and probably it's the same for most co-dependent so just look around you and admite that it's not only a casualty 😅🤗

    When my mum died late last year she left me all her books in her Will including twenty six years worth of personal diaries. I had a front row seat of my life from the pov of an abuser. I can’t express how grateful I am for having these. I’m not sure why my brother gave them to me. Either he didn’t read them or he did and wanted me to be hurt by them. Either way they gave me the answers and confirmation I’d been seeking my whole life.

    Kenny...wow brother. Your material in your videos is amazing. I have been really doing the work to leave my narcissistic wife of 28 years and I'm in the process of leaving. I really have to thank you bc your videos dug DEEP at the original abuse from my dad. In this process, I've forgiven my Dad and my wife....not condone it...ive forgiven them both bc they were absolutely abused and I do have compassion for them both. I now honor myself by never allowing anyone to use me in any capacity. I will never enable another person's dysfunctional behaviors.

  • @SeaStarGazer1111
    @SeaStarGazer1111 3 місяці тому +2

    Very insightful. Someone I was friendly with suffered a deep loss at the age of 10 when a parent suddenly died. Afterwards the other parent tried to send the child for counseling but that didn't work. This parent then tried to make up for the loss by indulging the child with material things and stepping into "rescue" by taking financial responsibility in this person's adulthood. So unfortunately I believe this is the reason why this person has very obvious narcissistic traits.

    I laughed,cried and was answering when you spoke. That was the best 50 minutes of 2023 for me. I take my perfectly imperfect self to the separation court on Tuesday summoned by my wounded perfectly imperfectly wife. I used to try to box it between narcissistic and borderline ... Blah Blah .. She's no psychopath. She's only wounded like me
    so now I don't want to use the word narcissist. The timing of this today is perfect for me ... Tuesday I go to the first hearing with my record of abuse primarily to defend myself. After this 50 minutes of therapy I will strive to resolve this situation differently. I am grateful for finding you and I pray your channel reaches far and wide.
    I hope things are good between you and your brother . Thank you ! Grazie mille Kenny ❤️🙏🏼

    Whenever I talk about my childhood, I say it was ideal. I was always told I was good. I received moderate discipline as a GenXer and was taught to take responsibility for my actions... ... But I was so naive. Married young to a differently traumatized young woman... We know the story. Point is, my kids and are slowly working through the healing. One of my earliest memories, which I am newly fascinated by, is such an intense feeling of being left out/rejected. At 4 ish yrs old, I remember it as deeply as an 18 yr old. The initial grieving of the relationship I was in (8 years before leaving), was that feeling x100. Obviously have discovered my people pleasing nature to avoid that feeling, previously at any cost.
    Kenny, thank you for sharing your work. It's one more piece of the puzzle to this amazing life as a human.

    Kenny, you are crazy! This free video is worth a million dollars to me.
    It's the key to all the doors, it's the answer to all the questions. You shame me, but not in a toxic manner. I will try to get me a crédito card, I didn't need it in South América so far.
    I never saw my father, but isn't it a gift, he never hurt me. I saw my mother a few times, she did things to me I could tell, but I don't want to hurt or trigger anyone.
    I am 57 so it will be strange what I gonna say.
    Watching your video I felt, this is my father, he is perfect, at least perfect enough.
    I am proud of you and I will give my dad your face.
    And I cried with you, but a little longer than you.
    I say this cuz I know you question your father role.
    I remember people say to me: You're the best father in the world, you do a great job, don't worry.
    Some of my adult kids told me so too.
    As a young man I told the world about my traumas, I used it. Beautiful girls came to love me like crazy.
    I abused them like a borderline. I was aware, I couldn't help it, I said and felt so sorry even while abusing them. It hurt so bad to me. I had to set them free, cuz I loved them. We had contact like friends for décadas. I am so grateful for all of their love. I learned to trust love and never had to abuse again.
    They healt me so far, that I could live a life as a man.
    But from now on I did denail any trama effect on me. That's dangerous.
    This time I'll do it right, you would be proud of me, what I am doing, you are a big part of it, thanks for being you.

    I’ve been on my healing journey a long time and what you say is amazing! You are freaking brilliant! I don’t know if I can ever say “I adore him,” but you are spot on when you say he loved me in the way I let him. There was no other way because I had no other way to let anyone love me. I hated myself and I let two really nice guys get away because they loved me too much. I couldn’t let them love me. It’s crazy to think about.
    To anyone wondering if the pain is worth it, YES!! A thousand times yes. There’s only one way to get to the other side and it’s through it. And it will be worth every single tear, every single raw feeling and when you get to the other side, you’ll wonder why you even hesitated because it’s such freedom. Do it for yourself! I promise you, you’ll never regret it.

    People, listen to this video 20 times. This video is 20 lessons hyper-packed into one hour. This is basically a half year of healing in one video.
    Also, thank you AGAIN, for pointing out BPD. It may be a different manifestation, bur in the end, the damage is the same as of you were with someone with NPD.
    I like how you've changed your internal world to have a more healthy mindset. It must allow for the greatest healing. Bravo to you.
    I'm also glad to hear you could heal and fix with relationship you had with her, that speaks VOLUME.

    People want your work for free because love from a parent is supposed to be free. Everyone is out here trying to get the parental love we didn’t get from others as adults for free. But, I finally realized, if you didn’t get loved the way a child is supposed to be loved, no one can give an adult that form of love. You can not recreate it in adulthood. You have to accept that you will never be loved like that and make peace with it.

      If you can learn to LOVE YOURSELF in the way your parents didn’t … then trust me you won’t find anyone else who can love you and look after you as good as you can yourself ❤ most people go into a relationship with the mind of what they can get from it as opposed to what they can bring to it …. That’s the downfall right there.

    I dont have words to thank you enough. You are a breath of fresh air, while all the coaches talk about narc this and narc that- you are actually helping people focus on their own unhealed issues.
    I have a question - when I start forgiving myself and the narc- it spins back to feeling sorry for their childhood and start looking for ways in how can they be helped. As humans why cant we help each other grow together and heal. Is it also due to trauma bond, I end up thinking all this ?

    This is interesting, I can't really feel that much, hovever I can remember most of my childhood from about 3 years of age.I have always heard that if you grow up with abuse , you are not allowed to feel anything, as most parents dont like that, so you have to people please. You can only start to feel when you start to feel safer.I guess I am working on my safety a bit more.I tried emotion focused therapy with a therapist.i drove her up the wall as I intellectualised everything.Now I am doing Somatic experiencing so I can start to eventually feel safe enough to feel.The process you describe does make sense to me BUT hard if you are not at the feeling stage yet.Some very excellent info in here that I have never heard anywhere else.Keep up the very good work🤗.

It is so honest and accurate, compared with the vast majority of videos on the topic that depict the problematic in black and white, without going deep into the true mechanisms of it, hence, in doing so, never offering a valid solution or any walkable way out of it, because what they do, on the contrary, is locking the viewers in that victim position, or in the painful confusion of guilt and self culpabilisation.

    I just discovered your channel today and I have to say THANK YOU! I have recently gotten out of my second long term narcissistic relationships and I have been on a roller coaster. These relationships are traumatizing and leave you not knowing who you are or what end is up anymore. I don’t want to go through this again and all the information (while still valuable) has been all about the narcissist and how they “do this to you” but very little is about how we allow it and enable it and allow ourselves to stay in the victim role. I don’t want to stay in victimhood. I want to level up my healing so I know what my involvement is in attracting and allowing this abuse so I’m not destined to repeat it a 3rd time. You speak the hard truths and I appreciate that. Thank you for your take on the subject.

I don't even exist." I'm happy to say though, I've been though enough recovery that, I don't generally think that way any more. Or, if I do, it's only momentary. I've replaced it with a new mantra. "I'm enough. I matter. I'm flawed but still okay. I'm lovable just the way I am and I don't ever deserve to be treated poorly just because I'm a human being with flaws. I welcome being held accountable with grace and kindness. Not threats and intimidation."

    When I first broke up with a narc a few years ago, I joined some FB groups based on the topic. The whole attitude of the self-proclaimed "empaths" immediately struck me as being obsessed with being a victim. It did indeed seem quite narcissistic. Discovering that it was in fact codependency seemed like a much more responsible angle to take, in terms of working on my issues and getting away from attracting lazy, self-involved monsters as partners.
