I learned a few key phrases when I was in my healing process:
– Complex PTSD from Narcissistic Abuse
(I did a lot of therapy, but in truth, it was 4hrs of yoga every day for a month that most helped with PTSD symptoms)
– Love Bombing.
Did it appear too good to be true at the beginning? It probably was.
– Psychiatric Injury.
My brain was injured, I received an injury, so instead of “internalizing my mental pain as – myself” I had to externalize it as an injury that needed care.
– Distraction = good!
Ruminating? Go take a dance class, watch funny videos, call a friend, anything to take your mind off.
