People Just Don't Get Narcissistic Abuse Unless They've Been There...

If you've ever been in a relationship with a toxic narcissist, you have some idea of how it feels to not want to share your pain with other people, am I right?

Because of the shame, fear, guilt and/or embarrassment of being tortured by a narcissist, a lot of victims won't even talk about it with the people they're closest to in their lives - and even when they appear to be totally fine and are capable of a friendly conversation (and have good social skills), there can be an underlying feeling of isolation for a survivor - one that feels sort of like a dull ache.

So often, I hear this from my clients - they feel like they don't even know how to be vulnerable anymore - and they find themselves feeling very gunshy, constantly on alert.

See, emotional abuse (not to mention physical and even deeper forms psychological abuse such as gaslighting) can really teach us to shut up - to stop talking about ourselves - and this leads to our becoming paralyzed in certain ways - one of which is developing the need to be alone!

In this video, I'll answer some questions for you, including:

WHY do survivors of narcissistic abuse have so much trouble feeling really connected to people? Why do we so often find the need to be alone after any sort of social interaction? Why do we find the idea of certain kinds of interaction overwhelming to the point that we just become paralyzed and hide inside the little cocoons we've created for ourselves?
