    At times I was anxiously chasing the other person, and at times I am avoidant of others' love and intimacy. Either way, I see myself closing myself off from love and happiness, which stems from this profound, sad and deep belief that I am unworthy.

    We were married in 1984 and had our first child a year later. We had 4 kids altogether. We were both born again in 1989 and in 1994 I began remembering the extreme abuse I experienced as a child. I am a SRA, SA, PA, VA and every other kind of abuse SURVIVOR! We have opposing attachments and our 40 years together are so textbook even though we have been separated several times and are now co-existing basically. I so appreciate these videos as I am determined to work on myself and heal myself and work on the relationships with my children.

    More severe complex trauma, I have BPD and I am a scapegoated parentified child of a sociopathic narcissist. I was tortured, neglected and abused by a monster, I have seen things and had things done to me that no human should ever have to endure and the most striking thing is No one did anything, I watched them turn a blind eye to horrific crimes being committed against me as a baby toddler and child and did nothing. Your silence was deafening.

      Isn't it just amazing all those horrific experiences we survived. And to me, your ability to talk about your past can't be underestimated. I was raised in a family that created a mentally challenged child to be eventually diagnosed with bpd and schizophrenia. The real cause of it was an adopted mother who was not educated enough to meet his needs. I look back on my life with shock at the level of abuse that really happened. To me and to him. From financial to severe denial of responsibility. Our father passed of a heart attack at 39. A shitty family of elders of 2 alcoholics is all there was. I had an army of denying people against me eventually. These people have no conscious and they breed like rabbits. We are true warriors against mentally distorted people who think they are so smart. Their only power is in their numbers. But I'm the wiser for seeing why I was traumatized, confused. They tried to replace me with their version of me and I caught them. Who knows the real reason for my mother's hatred of us. But I kniw what that feeling really is now. Its not love at all. Its evil masquerading as this precious, sacred gift. You owe them nothing. Especially your sanity.

      Intimacy cannot exist in a dynamic where the individuals do not believe themselves to be equal with each other. Even if only one of the two people has a belief that they aren't equal, it prevents vulnerability, which is a prerequisite for healthy intimacy. While it does take two to tango, it only takes one person to destroy a relationship.
      If a person with BPD solidly believes that they aren't worthy of the other person, they have already decided for the other person who they are, what they want, what they're capable of, and what they're willing to tolerate. (We do not define others, that is abusive. But setting that piece aside...). They hide themselves and try to avoid rocking the boat, thinking that this will please the other person, without knowing what is actually happening on the other side of things. The person with BPD has already decided what is even possible, without involving the other. No longer actually interacting.
      Their mind begins the cognitive bias where they can only see evidence that aligns with their belief, that the other person will abandon them. This is a human thing, the bias, that we all must keep an eye on. Any proof that might suggest that the relationship could work out well just blends into the background. Exasperated and disappointed, the other eventually leaves.
      I understand that it is a "fact," (maybe more a trend), because the presenting behaviors associated are often considered manipulative and toxic. The majority of people with BPD have normalized communication patterns that are toxic because of the family they were raised in. This is NOT their fault!! Once an adult, it can only be each individual's own responsibility, though. Even though they didn't deserve it and didn't ask for it and it isn't their fault, they still have to own the responsibility for learning functional communication, if they want functional relationships.
      Highly recommend Marshall Rosenberg's Non-violent Communication, as a resource. It isn't for BPD specifically. I think all humans should have a copy. 😂

    I see that this video is not members only, and I assume it’s because it’s really important? I can totally see myself being both the distancer and the pursuer. When you don’t have healthy attachment, the only thing you know is how to be unhealthy. I am thinking my current relationship, and with the limited information I have of him and the awareness of myself, I am wondering what we are. It’s so true that when you don’t get attached to a person, then you get attached to substances.

    As someone who accidentally found themselves in an anxious avoidant relationship (I’m the avoidant) I desperately did not want to fall into that pit and realized how toxic it’s been after actually getting to know them. My partner played off the first few months very coolly (we are semi long distance) and people pleased to mirror me which made me think they had qualities I really admired… 2 months later I realized they don’t. I’ve really been trying to not be avoidant but as my trust issues are getting triggered by their behavior I’m struggling 8 months into it.

      @jndevries2 5 років тому +14

      The answer is grieving your losses. Maybe you have, but that is 1/2 the battle. Stuff gets pinned up inside us, and journaling, (prayers to God) as you journal, getting it out and on paper is very liberating. Now, Google: counselors/therapists for low income people, sometimes it can be very low, no reason not to go. If you think you're too old, that's the enemy. Once you start feeling free, you won't care how old you are. Find good books on Amazon write them down, now go see if your local library has them or something similar. You will get more and more creative, because God will help you. "In my time of trouble, God rescued me." Never, ever, ever give up!! For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans of good and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11. May you feel His strength and love as He guides you. Just ask Him to. PS. 32:8. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go, I will guide you with my eye upon you. ;) Don't be as a horse or mule, that must have a bit and bridle.

      *reprogram
      ourselves by actually reparenting ourselves. Changing our input, the things we tell ourselves etc. And dammit, I’m almost 50 too. Had my heart broken after 22 years of marriage and 5 kids. I refuse to think there’s nothing that can be done / no hope for the future.

    This guy keeps missing the mark!
    He says that if a child sees a parent not react, then they will learn to regulate their emotions like their parents do.
    But that’s just wrong. If a child has feelings and the parents don’t respond but just act like the child shouldn’t feel like they do, the child becomes at first desperate to be heard. It’s like the child knows the house is on fire but no one believes them or worse, tells them the house isn’t in fire.
    And the child has to learn to take that feeling, that their house is on fire, and shove it way down. Push it down deep and ignore all the sirens blaring inside them.
    That is trauma. Parents who pretend like their child’s emotions are not there.

      Finding Freedom is an organization based in Winnipeg. It was established 12 years ago. Tim is the founder and president. It offers a Friday evening support group that involves teaching related to addiction and Complex Trauma. This is broadcast live on the UA-cam channel. It is later edited and uploaded to UA-cam. RE:ACT (Recovery Education for Addiction and Complex Trauma) is the treatment centre that was established 3 years ago. It is based on the research that over 90% of addicts have Complex Trauma. The addiction was originally seen as the perfect solution to their trauma. Tim’s passion is to help people understand the ramifications of Complex Trauma and to teach them the tools to heal and develop healthy tools for life.
