    When it comes to narcissistic abuse, it's crucial to focus on understanding the dynamics of the abusive relationship and the impact it has on the victim, rather than making assumptions or generalizations about their behavior. Narcissistic abuse can have a profound and complex effect on victims, often leading to emotional trauma, low self-esteem, and a distorted sense of self-worth. It can erode trust, create feelings of isolation, and manipulate the victim's perception of reality. Some victims of narcissistic abuse may struggle with maintaining healthy boundaries, trusting others, or recognizing their own value. In some cases, individuals who have experienced narcissistic abuse may engage in behaviors that are out of character, including cheating or seeking validation outside the relationship. These behaviors can be a response to the emotional turmoil and manipulation they have endured. It's important to approach this with compassion and understand that these actions may stem from a desire for validation, escape, or a misguided attempt to regain a sense of control or self-worth. However, it's essential to note that not all victims of narcissistic abuse engage in infidelity or seek external validation. Each individual responds to abuse differently, and their actions may vary depending on their coping mechanisms, personal values, and circumstances. If you or someone you know has experienced narcissistic abuse, it is crucial to seek support from professionals such as therapists or counselors who specialize in trauma and relationship dynamics. They can provide guidance, healing strategies, and help rebuild a healthy sense of self-worth and trust. Remember, the effects of narcissistic abuse are complex, and the healing process is unique to each individual. Judgment and assumptions can hinder the understanding and support that victims need. Providing empathy, compassion, and access to appropriate resources can contribute to the healing journey and empower survivors to rebuild their lives.

      Why it will feel good to get through the end of court. Sentencing and I have under a week to write something called a victim impact statement that is supposed to be the only way to try to get justice for the 3 years not just 2 night where he is charged with yelling making me afraid enough to call 911. He was arrested instantly for interfering with a 911 call yet they are not charging him with that anymore. My neighbor thinks the reason the prosecutor is doing nothing when he broke the no contact order is he charmed the women and played victim. Like he did when we met. Poor him. I defended him. Now he is charming others. The prosecutor, the public defender and the victim witness specialist. He had a male at first but no idea why only females on all now. He has some secret trick. I wish I knew what it was so no one can do that to me again. But after sentencing, I do not want to think about him, talk about him. I want to shut the door on the past, close the book. And move on. Have a future. Not die alone at 46. I feel being disabled with health that went downhill with him, I feel no one would want me. Very overweight, finally found hypothyroidism on top of adrenal insufficiency. I lost a few pounds since the hypothyroidism diagnosis, that came the day of the first hearing date...less than 3 months ago.

Everything triggered me and I sobbed gutterly daily uncontrollably for an extremely long time. I had no idea I had so much trauma in my body. I’d relax after a while and when I was quiet a. Memory would come right in front of my face and I’d see it as clear as when it happened. Very interesting and I realized it all needed to come out and I just witnessed one of them. When I acknowledged and saw it and accepted it it vanished. Like lifted out of my body. It’s all a massively deep process

      He is a wonderful counselor. I think because he knows how to overcome it because he did. It’s different when someone reads about abuse in a book & when someone can share all the little things that are actually very important. Experience provides a greater understanding & relatability than just an education. It’s like an alcoholic going to a food addicts anonymous meeting. Richard knows it all first hand.

      Yep. Cbt is the trend and it does nothing to acknowledge the abuse and pain, or allow you to grieve gain acceptance of what happened, then only after go through that process can CBT help with some skills going forward.. but hereis the video for that anyway.
      Its been ten years since for my disrupting the partnership that sucked me dry then found out there was someone else on top!
      Richard has been the most helpful for me practically (thank you ❤richard).
      Im also the kind of person that needs to know the whys and so i also found Priff Sam Vankin at same time for the academic background of the why a person becomes so lacking in compassion and so machiavelian.
      Then low about 4 or 5 years later bothe of them started to do videos together too!
      I still come back to Richhard , when I feel unsure when i meet a new person, as i realised i was always the guver in all my friendships and was actually getting taken advantage of, lol even the Narc ex husband used to tell me this!, which i would think, he is just trying to just get me to focus all my life kn him, but he had a point i realise.
      And as a consequence of this occurance of a marriage breakdown and realisations, i started studying psychology and listen to Proff Sam Vankin weekly, he is a vain character, but jokes about it.
      I do hope he doesnt abuse his partner though!!!
      He is a self confessed Narcissist and apparently diagnosed with NPD, but his growth awareness juxtaposes that diagnoses in my opinion.
      Or perhaps he just got a better mask?
      He academic knowledge is vast and he loves to share it so i just listen and learn as much as possible.
      But Richard , imo is the best, the most realistic and most encompassing counsellor _coach regairding Narc abuse, not just personal but also his awarenes of the qordly societal Narcissistic abuse !

    I should have run when, before meeting his mother, my hubs told me “don’t volunteer information”. I had no “map” for comprehending what that meant. I had never had to use Ninja thinking to interact with my mom so I was lost. After 21 years, I understand now that family is your safe place is not a universal truth. I now know that some mothers are so broken that they only want domination and control so that their children become pawns and human dolls. These mothers use any means necessary to break their children’s spirit into submission and control them for the rest of their lives. Then continue with the next generation. It took me far too long to come to terms with the irreversible damage this did to her son.

    How to heal realistically : 🐛
    1. Change your perspective of what happened away from the therapeutic modality that's past focussed and look with new eyes towards building and patterning in new skills, talents, habits and strengths that you love and enjoy engaging in and that keep you in a state of proactive higher vibration.
    2. In order to create a new reality you need new skills that bring you joy and peaceful purpose that breathes life vigorously and abundantly into your heart-mind, soul and set your spirit afire!
    Engage in consistent self aware disciplines, robust, healthy, honest and authentic self definition, daily efforts and actions that create an empowering lifeforce that has a good yin-yang balance of self efficacy that embraces and accepts pain as a positive stretch forwards that makes you laugh through any discomfort and pain you confront with joy and enthusiasm as you convert it to purposeful pleasure.
    3. Pain brings your full focus and attention back into the present moment as clariyifing incentive to identify what needs doing now as essential so we can act with self compassion and ask "now what?" as we keep moving forwards.
    The past is history and leads to depression, the future a mystery that provokes anxiety, the only time and space we can act within to create positive change is the present moment. Get real, honest, open, accountable, vulnerable and sincere about who you are, where you're at and what you do want, be here now just as you are, be open to giving and receiving, being seen, heard and understood, our bodies and brains need to bend, bounce, adapt and stay flexible, use it or lose it.
    4. Deliberately and consciously build the future that you do want now.
    Redirect all those misdirected resources and super powers we have into repeated and consistent effortful actions that create what we do want in a way that provides healthy emotional outlets that consistently and incrementally build empowering momentum and joyful enthusiasm that take form and function as your new, optimal reality.
    We reap as we've sown, nurture and tend the gardens of our minds and bodies well to enjoy a positively plentiful harvest every day in every way for the benefit of all concerned! 🌾🦋💞😘✌️

      What I found difficult was identifying my triggers… and when I’d notice the triggers, I’d pull myself away from the situation and not speak in order to not hurt others with them. The other thing was the pull-back…. Perhaps due to triggers, I’d feel sadness, guilt and pain. Once I recognized the pull- back, I’d stop and realize what it was, just that, a pull- back, and I’d focuse instead on positive things I now had in my life. This helped me a lot. Focusing, on a conscious daily basis, that every choice that I made felt right and it eventually rebuilt my confidence in myself, trust in myself, love for myself . It’s really hard to leave because you’re left with no confidence and fear that you can’t make it on your own, but you have to be fearless and “rip it off like a bandaid”. Life is better once you’ve gone no contact at all…. There’s finally peace and you’ll start seeing the beauty of flowers and the things you live and have. They’ll be all yours. ❤

    I finally went no contact with my narcissistic parents. It’s been 2 months, and I feel this sense of peace yet emptiness and loneliness almost as if I’m combating an addiction

      I understand- the fear of the emptiness makes it hard to do when youve been in connection your entire life. It feels like dying to be reborn...the part that feels the most tricky is the belief that there is nothing there and that is what can take the most courage to get through.

    I left my husband, now ex-husband (after a 2 1/2 year high conflict divorce) to protect our daughter, not realizing that she would end up being with him without me there. I had no idea how much mental abuse I had sustained. I left him Oct 2014, and got my daughter into therapy not long after, and took my lawyers advice to do the same. Though therapy I learned what we were dealing with and ways to work through it as much as possible. Our relationship has no relevance and hasn't for many years, however he has now aliened our child against me. I feel stuck on what to do next. I'm done talking!!! Therapy will not help me. Her behavior had noticeably changed towards me and I was working with her therapist before "she" decided that she no longer wanted to spend time with me. Her therapist is clueless and convinced that she has an actual reason to not want to spend time with me? There is so much more...

    Imagine trying to recover from their abuse while still in a relationship and they “want to help” you, all the while berating you for having emotions or acting like C- PTSD and current emotional reactions to current abuses can be turned off for their comfort, then because you can’t, you’re impossible to love.
    Then leave, and see the impossible become possible. I can finally heal. Now I can finally look toward the future. Now I am free.
    Thank you for this video, for this advice.
    Life is polarity, life is rhythm, life is a cumulatively past, present, and future.
    I’ve lived in the past, one transgression to the next, not being able to process or wrap my mind around it. The pain just jostling around in my head for years, and more piling on top. The future was unthinkable, unless it was about what they might surprise me with next. I know if you’re reading this you understand.
    It kind of sucks, but our Justice is not them making amends to their behavior, clearing up the lies, or helping us heal through the pain they caused it. Not is it certain karma will catch up to them, because even if it did, it’s somebody else’s fault. No, our Justice is the Justice we give ourselves, our past self, that person that retreated inside that shell - to offer him or her a way out, another way of living, loving, and being loved… the permission to live a good and healthy life, the excitement of designing your life after being at the mercy of someone tearing it apart. When we’re ready to stop playing the role they created for us to play in their game and decide who we want to be and where we want to go. We spent so much time focusing on them not because of love, but because we thought we could stop the pain, or prove something to ourselves. Some great, cosmic lesson that was waiting just beyond where we could see. Some big joke, really. I try to look at it all happening to force me into learning to love myself, because this would have never happened if I did.
    So now what does loving yourself look like? Not what would them loving you had looked like. Not what could you have done for them to love you look like. What does loving yourself look like? Tomorrow? In a week? In a year? In your job? In your past times? In your relationships? Now that we know what it is not, what is it? Maybe it’s all we had been pleading for in the relationship, the flip side of who they were.
    I wish every one of you healing and a good life.

    "There are, then, two ways of understanding an experience.
    The first is to compare it with the memories of other experiences, and so to name and define it.
    This is to interpret it in accordance with the dead and the past. ☠️
    The second is to be aware of it as it is, as when, in the intensity of joy, we forget past and future, let the present be all, and thus do not even stop to think, “I am happy." You'll know it! 😊

    @penguinnn5511 3 дні тому

    It’s been almost two months, two months since I realized within 6 DAYS without him, that he’s RUINING me and my body entirely. I was horrified, at the thought of losing him. I hid the things he said and done to me. But everyone saw how I changed, how I isolated myself, cried day and night because of the abuse. After leaving him, I only wished the worst for him. I then saw he got new supply. I found myself wondering, what if he changed, he’s making her happier? But it took me a moment to realize, I also felt like that. I also felt, happy and in love with him and was treated like a queen. But then it started slipping, the mask. I did confront him on his BS, but he pointed it to me. This girl, will most likely go through this too. I hope she is strong enough, and won’t let his bs fool her too. I want to move on, I need to breathe.

    I believe THIS is the most important thing I have ever seen. I have been searching for years for a way out of the "stuckness" I felt and watching this I actively felt my parasympathetic response open in a visceral way that I haven't felt in a very long time. I'm thoroughly _sick_ of the way I've felt since escaping. I'm so tired of the anger and searching. This is the way forward. Thank you.

    Yes yes - it means I have had to let go of a husband and two sons that have I believe they have generational sin .
    I won’t heal and go forward until I move forward and let go . And it’s very difficult for along with that are 6 grandchildren. Grief comes with the truth and reality but it must stop so I can take back my identity. Now it’s my plan to help other women recover from trauma / abuse and come home to themselves within .🙏❤️

    Powerful video. Resolve the past….healing is necessary….
    Learn to be vulnerable with healthy people - become strong but gentle, in ways that build versus pulling you down…. Then train your-self to thrive…. If you grew up in an unhealthy environment you may not have been given the training wheels…. or you may have simply forgotten from being in a toxic relationship…. I did the 30 Day Forward Focused Challenge…. It’s great…. It’s motivating and supportive.. I’m going to do it again :)
    I’m also motivated NOW - I’m going to do xyz….today 🙂🧘

    Strikingly profound advice!! Just as we have the choice to stay stuck in the pain from our pasts, we have the freedom to choose the opposing path of living our lives in the present moment!! Happy, healthy, fulfilled, loved and productive.
    After eight months of listening to everything there is to know about narcissism, love bombing, degrading, control, gaslighting, manipulation, pathological lying, cheated, lack of empathy, discarding, etc etc etc., listening to this one video, has made me realize what I’ve been missing all along!!
    I have the choice to stay stuck in a past that no longer serves as anything positive for me now, or I simply choose to live in the present and begin to live my life in the ways that bring me peace, calmness, joy, happiness and love.
    Done!!!!
    Time to release myself from the chains of my past, that I placed upon myself and get busy living MY LIFE!!
    Thank you so very much for taking all of the confusion out of the picture, so that I could see the true reality of what “I NEED TO DO FOR MYSELF AND MY LIFE MOVING FORWARD!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

    I have seen at least six different counselors and psychologists over the course of my marriage and not one ever mentioned narcissism. Not sure if that is because Australia is backward or what but once I left my marriage, I came across Lisa Romano who was fantastic and very affirming to what I had been through. I also started with a life coach doing the Healing Codes which I can't recommend enough as it deals with the deep trauma that we are not even aware of. Richard is also great and although I have moved on from listening to these clips, my friend and I find ourselves going back to listen as now our children are facing similar things although not aware of the work that is required yet. No work means you are never truly free. I pray all that have experience narcissistic relationships will be able to heal and find peace and love again ❤

I think I own almost all of them. Thanks

    Found this too late for the 30 day challenge. I'm sure it was great!
    Thank you, for your insight. Everyone has different ways of explaining/expressing different things but I have to say I find this particular one refreshing. I have had a lot of personal growth and still have much to go... until my body is no longer here I suppose. This gives a direction for the future. I have said similar to those I felt have been 'stuck' in some ways saying it doesn't affect them but still going back to it. A good thing to look in the mirror with it as well. Harder, at times, in a close relationship that one is still trying, and willing, to work with.
    Thank you for being a part of helping others heal and build a better future for themselves and in turn those around them.
