6. I am Whole.

“...I am me and that's ALL I will ever be. And all I need. ME- she's protected, she's cared for, she's whole."⁠



It all comes back to identity. Every single time.



I've found that the root cause of our feeling of stuck-ness in life, lack of confidence, self doubt, you name it... those lingering symptoms from the trauma of narcissistic abuse...they hang around because we've lost our connection to our identity.



We don't know who we are anymore. Our sense of self was so enmeshed with the abuser that we didn't know where they ended and we began. Breaking out of that pattern and boldly stepping into the uncharted waters of Self...the new and unexplored You...is very hard, and very scary at times.



Today we'll be diving into some ways of reconnecting with and redefining identity. We are reminding ourselves: I am whole. Your true sense of self isn't lost somewhere outside of you. It's all there, within you now. It's time to tap into it.
