TOPICS COVERED:
- Their Journey – even though she was not a childhood sexual abuse victim, she found herself with all these clients of this type of trauma, so she started documenting and finding patterns, eventually found herself with many more clients who were adult children of narcissistic abuse and started finding patterns there as well
- Victim of abuse is the present moment experience; survivorhood comes with the work after
- Dynamics of narcissistic abuse – leaves a child feeling unworthy and blaming themselves (library of self-judgment)
- Narcissistic abuse is a “chip away” process on their victims
- Words v Tone – creates a “confusion fog”
- Indifference – when someone stops caring and then makes the victim indifferent to themselves
- Indifference – destroys boundaries, power plays make victim feel they have to appease people
- Learning to understand yourself – builds self-trust and intuition
- You can choose how to respond and observe and make healthy choices; take back control; empowerment
- Role of spirituality = knowing yourself, soul connection (your true essence), finding alignment, stripping away what’s not congruent, self-exploration, self-respect

GUEST RESOURCE RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Learning about Narcissism (via YouTube) to really understand the reality of this type of abuse
