Hi there. This is Tracy and tonight. I wanted to talk about
0:00:04.509,0:00:06.509
changing your language
0:00:07.330,0:00:09.330
This is a language that you want to
0:00:09.700,0:00:16.979
Think about and just really pay attention to when it comes into your head and you say things
0:00:17.770,0:00:19.000
because
0:00:19.000,0:00:22.469
in order to move out a victim we
0:00:23.560,0:00:31.109
Have to accept accountability and and I’m not saying that what the narcissus did to you male or female?
0:00:32.169,0:00:34.289
Was right was there?
0:00:35.350,0:00:37.350
Was probably legal?
0:00:38.290,0:00:40.290
What I’m saying is
0:00:41.230,0:00:46.500
In order to heal. I want you to this listen to these couple of things that I’ve written down and
0:00:47.320,0:00:51.899
See if next time you say something like this, you can turn it around
0:00:52.510,0:00:54.719
because by telling yourself that
0:00:55.239,0:00:59.189
it moves you out a victim does that make sense, so
0:01:00.670,0:01:03.930
Instead of saying he made me do this
0:01:05.260,0:01:08.639
Where he made me feel like crap
0:01:13.510,0:01:15.510
How about if he changed it to I?
0:01:16.600,0:01:18.159
allowed him
0:01:18.159,0:01:24.059
To make me feel like crap right that’s just taking responsibility. It’s not
0:01:24.909,0:01:27.239
Changing it because it’s still
0:01:28.210,0:01:31.799
there, but it’s taking some accountability that
0:01:32.500,0:01:36.900
We allowed this and we’re never going [to] let that happen again
0:01:37.780,0:01:40.680
Think of that, this is so important
0:01:41.710,0:01:46.079
How about he had me watch? His kid or he borrowed money from me
0:01:47.200,0:01:51.149
instead of that you can say I trusted him so much that
0:01:52.000,0:01:54.000
I allowed him to borrow money
0:01:54.970,0:01:57.179
and he trusted me so much that
0:01:58.719,0:02:00.719
I watched his child
0:02:03.380,0:02:08.080
Instead of saying I packed his whole freaking house
0:02:11.690,0:02:18.879
You could say to yourself. I packed his whole house for him because I loved him I
0:02:21.319,0:02:24.549
Didn’t know what a narcissist was and I trusted I
0:02:26.269,0:02:28.449
have to accept the fact that
0:02:29.269,0:02:32.679
I made that choice to Pack his whole house
0:02:33.620,0:02:36.819
if I keep blaming him for that
0:02:37.430,0:02:39.910
He was just getting away with [murder]. I mean like
0:02:40.519,0:02:47.739
That’s their deal right, so if [we] don’t take accountability for our part which by the way
0:02:47.810,0:02:54.310
It’s like nothing okay, but in your [mind]. It turns it around to something completely different
0:02:55.700,0:03:00.849
this was one that I said in a group this past week, and
0:03:02.150,0:03:07.179
This was about my divorce and and narcissus number two
0:03:10.100,0:03:13.989
He had me so upset that I didn’t even want to eat I
0:03:15.380,0:03:18.309
Was like a pTSD
0:03:20.000,0:03:25.299
Didn’t even know what it was I couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep and I
0:03:28.790,0:03:30.790
Didn’t know what to do
0:03:32.790,0:03:34.790
but if you turn that around and
0:03:38.400,0:03:41.749
Turn it around to you and say from this point forward
0:03:43.050,0:03:49.579
I’m going to nurture myself and love myself and feed myself
0:03:52.200,0:03:54.200
the way I want
0:03:54.600,0:03:57.199
to be cared for care for yourself
0:03:58.140,0:04:00.290
stop caring for
0:04:01.020,0:04:03.350
People that don’t deserve your love
0:04:04.050,0:04:06.499
stop caring for them when
0:04:07.650,0:04:12.050
Their excuses don’t make sense stop believing them
0:04:12.810,0:04:14.790
and
0:04:14.790,0:04:18.349
Love yourself if you could love yourself
0:04:19.799,0:04:22.549
Through the horrible things that have happened now
0:04:23.790,0:04:26.119
Imagine how much better you will be
0:04:26.880,0:04:29.269
when you get out of this hellhole
0:04:31.080,0:04:37.129
we have all been injured, but one of the steps to letting go of
0:04:39.000,0:04:44.119
blaming them is to accept responsibility because you know what a
0:04:45.030,0:04:47.209
Narcissist will never accept responsibility
0:04:47.910,0:04:50.029
And that makes you human
0:04:51.060,0:04:53.060
So keep that in mind
0:04:55.290,0:05:00.109
And try to turn it around the next time you say something. I know it’s in there
0:05:01.050,0:05:06.140
Just turn it around in your head. If it doesn’t spit out the first time that’s okay to say wait
0:05:06.140,0:05:12.919
I just said he did this or she did that she did this to me or she had me arrested
0:05:13.950,0:05:15.900
Whatever it is
0:05:15.900,0:05:17.900
Where’s your accountability?
0:05:18.930,0:05:24.530
And in looking at that. I think you’ll not find that you’re gonna heal a lot faster. I
0:05:26.880,0:05:29.679
Wish you well, that’s all I got tonight. Thanks
