Hi, this is Tracy
0:00:02.980,0:00:03.810
this weekend
0:00:03.810,0:00:08.040
I had a song go through my hat if he ever had that happened where you hear something on the radio
0:00:08.040,0:00:14.280
And then it just kind of triggers things that bring back memories for you and for me
0:00:14.280,0:00:21.000
I was listening to a radio station and the car and I heard the somewhere over the rainbow song and
0:00:22.779,0:00:25.859
what it did was it brought me [back] to being a little girl and
0:00:26.410,0:00:31.379
I don’t know about you. How old you are and if they had vcRs in those days?
0:00:31.380,0:00:36.270
but he did not when I was growing up and so the wizard of Oz just like the
0:00:36.730,0:00:40.559
Many Fairy tales that we watched on TV on an annual
0:00:41.230,0:00:43.230
one time thing
0:00:43.480,0:00:45.300
Was was really special to me?
0:00:45.300,0:00:51.329
And I think it opened up a world when it came out or certainly when I was allowed to watch it
0:00:51.329,0:00:53.329
It was a help of where I was born
0:00:54.730,0:00:58.799
what it brought to everyone was this sense of of
0:01:00.039,0:01:07.169
Joy and and this forever place. This is happily ever after land of the make-believe. I mean we hadn’t really had that
0:01:07.689,0:01:09.689
So you know?
0:01:10.060,0:01:17.400
As I looking back, and think about that all weekend long. I’m thinking over the lessons that they all learned and
0:01:19.270,0:01:26.400
Do they relate to anything narcissistic. I swear [to] God. I’m losing my mind everything is like coming in and it’s like wait
0:01:26.680,0:01:28.860
There’s something narcissistic about that
0:01:30.100,0:01:34.140
Not as much as I just think that there’s some really good lessons in there
0:01:34.270,0:01:38.970
That I think that we should all make sure that we know about and for one thing
0:01:38.970,0:01:42.419
I’d like you to think about who your favorite character is if you’re a girl
0:01:43.899,0:01:47.729
There’s a really good chance that it was glinda the good witch of the north
0:01:49.090,0:01:57.030
galindo with her beautiful gown and that sort of royal crown that was made of whatever that sparkled and
0:01:57.729,0:02:02.879
Her arrival by bubble right I mean that is cool. Crap when you’re a little kid
0:02:03.759,0:02:05.929
Everybody wanted to be her [I] think
0:02:08.850,0:02:10.850
Of course she was my favorite
0:02:13.090,0:02:15.090
but I
0:02:15.250,0:02:21.930
Think that in learning about her and in knowing and wanting to be this make-believe
0:02:23.740,0:02:29.850
Good witch that comes down and saves everything when in actuality. She never saved anybody
0:02:30.640,0:02:32.140
because
0:02:32.140,0:02:35.400
all she did was be there like a friend and
0:02:36.070,0:02:38.159
Like a coach like a mentor
0:02:38.800,0:02:42.689
that made sure that if she struggled along the road
0:02:44.290,0:02:50.549
She was there for dorothy she never did just wiggle her nose and make her go home
0:02:51.370,0:02:55.349
she made her realize that she had the power all along and
0:02:55.870,0:03:02.009
It’s that lesson that I want to talk to you about today as we deal with our
0:03:02.410,0:03:05.370
Narcissist abuse and our rebuilding of our life
0:03:07.540,0:03:14.730
We had the power all along and I want you to think about that, and I want you to remember just
0:03:15.310,0:03:18.930
because you’ve forgotten it right now the narcissist has
0:03:20.140,0:03:24.659
gotten you so down and and your head is spinning, and you think you’re crazy and
0:03:25.720,0:03:28.050
Nothing makes sense and nobody believes you
0:03:29.110,0:03:31.170
Maybe it’s because you were in the land of oz
0:03:32.410,0:03:37.469
That life was a fairytale, and it wasn’t a happy ending
0:03:38.320,0:03:43.649
if we look at the journey uh-huh the wizard of Oz and Dorothy’s
0:03:44.350,0:03:46.350
Traveling from Kansas
0:03:47.590,0:03:49.590
to us
0:03:49.660,0:03:56.730
We look at the things that that movie that I come and fabric of our lives if we look at
0:03:57.490,0:03:59.490
the things that
0:03:59.890,0:04:01.890
Were never real before
0:04:02.890,0:04:04.890
Good witches and bad witches
0:04:06.370,0:04:13.440
Ruby Slippers and Munchkins how about the lollipop guild oh my God I wanted one of those lollipops
0:04:13.450,0:04:15.450
so badly
0:04:16.680,0:04:18.680
It was awesome
0:04:19.260,0:04:23.179
We look at what happened on Dorothy’s Journey
0:04:24.060,0:04:26.060
to get back home
0:04:26.220,0:04:28.220
We can see a lot of similarities
0:04:28.800,0:04:30.800
between her journey and
0:04:30.960,0:04:32.960
hours to get over a
0:04:33.480,0:04:35.480
Narcissist I’ll tell you how
0:04:36.990,0:04:40.549
when dorothy found herself in the land of Oz a
0:04:41.340,0:04:43.340
Place she could never even imagine
0:04:43.980,0:04:45.980
Not only was it technicolor
0:04:46.620,0:04:47.940
but
0:04:47.940,0:04:50.510
It wasn’t what she thought it was
0:04:51.270,0:04:53.270
Life was different somehow
0:04:54.690,0:04:56.690
But dorothy had a goal
0:04:57.690,0:04:59.690
She wanted to go back home
0:05:01.620,0:05:03.620
Dorothy had a mentor
0:05:04.260,0:05:06.379
glinda to help guide her
0:05:07.650,0:05:12.260
She sought help from others, and that’s what you have [to] do right now is
0:05:13.020,0:05:17.569
You have to find someone that you can talk to [about] this narcissist abuse
0:05:19.080,0:05:22.669
there are counselors there are free services and
0:05:24.270,0:05:30.649
there is help out there find a meet-up newer you start a meetup and people will come and
0:05:32.460,0:05:34.460
All you need to do is support one another
0:05:35.190,0:05:37.190
It’s pretty easy
0:05:37.320,0:05:39.320
so like dorothy
0:05:39.450,0:05:41.450
Turn to your friends
0:05:42.540,0:05:44.540
in the end, she
0:05:45.600,0:05:48.529
Got it done right she went home. She
0:05:49.470,0:05:52.369
Found out she had the power all along
0:05:53.130,0:05:54.750
and
0:05:54.750,0:05:57.619
We are finding out that we had the power all along
0:05:57.840,0:06:02.869
It’s just been swooshed and smushed and smushed by the narcissist
0:06:03.600,0:06:05.600
that is
0:06:05.610,0:06:07.610
emotionally and verbally
0:06:07.740,0:06:09.740
sexually financially
0:06:11.280,0:06:13.280
abused us
0:06:15.680,0:06:17.680
We can get it done
0:06:18.889,0:06:20.889
She was friends to everyone in the end, right
0:06:22.160,0:06:27.189
Everyone even the monkeys liked her the henchmen the munchkins
0:06:28.699,0:06:30.909
She didn’t come in and make enemies
0:06:32.479,0:06:35.169
he came in with Hope and
0:06:36.710,0:06:38.710
It got [better]
0:06:40.100,0:06:45.399
if we look at a scarecrow, that’s who she met next right if we look at the scarecrow and
0:06:46.070,0:06:53.950
And we think about him hanging on that hook in the [crossroads] some people go this way and some people go that way
0:06:55.190,0:06:59.679
You can go either way you want right? This is us. We’re in that cross way
0:07:01.040,0:07:06.999
We can either learn about narcissist abuse and do everything that we can
0:07:08.330,0:07:10.330
so that it doesn’t happen again, or
0:07:12.470,0:07:14.859
We can take the path that we’ve always taken I
0:07:16.490,0:07:22.900
Don’t know about you, but I want the yellow brick road. I want to know where it [goes]. I want ruby slippers
0:07:23.690,0:07:24.950
and
0:07:24.950,0:07:26.950
I would follow the road
0:07:29.360,0:07:34.750
Scarecrow who thought he had [no] brains was listening to old recordings older
0:07:36.020,0:07:40.270
Courting someone must have told him just like we’ve been told things
0:07:43.039,0:07:45.039
old recordings
0:07:45.830,0:07:47.830
That just had to be reprogrammed
0:07:48.050,0:07:50.260
when they both fucked him and
0:07:51.260,0:07:53.319
He started to actually use his brain
0:07:54.229,0:07:58.299
You see when you use your brain you find out you [have] it
0:08:02.240,0:08:04.630
Scarecrow was willing to give his life for dorothy
0:08:06.170,0:08:08.170
fight the witch
0:08:09.500,0:08:11.500
Battle Forces
0:08:14.450,0:08:16.450
when the witch set him on fire
0:08:18.200,0:08:20.200
Dorothy went to save him and
0:08:21.080,0:08:22.790
Were like that?
0:08:22.790,0:08:24.940
We like to save people
0:08:25.760,0:08:27.760
we like to help them and
0:08:29.330,0:08:32.949
We believe that recording that
0:08:34.220,0:08:41.589
First Encounter however long it was that our narcissist pretended that they were something that they weren’t
0:08:43.010,0:08:49.989
We always held on to the dream that that person was real, and they were coming back if only
0:08:51.500,0:08:53.500
If only
0:08:53.510,0:08:55.510
We did more
0:09:01.449,0:09:02.679
remember the song
0:09:02.679,0:09:04.919
Um I was by America
0:09:04.920,0:09:09.899
And the world lying was something about God never did give nothing to the tin man that he didn’t already have
0:09:11.769,0:09:13.769
the tin man did have a heart
0:09:15.490,0:09:21.149
You knew that right away as soon as those flying apple Trees were throwing apples at dorothy
0:09:22.629,0:09:25.319
the tin man stepped in there and
0:09:26.499,0:09:28.499
That is a sign of friendship
0:09:28.809,0:09:32.519
That is the sign of Bravery and that is the sign
0:09:33.220,0:09:35.220
but you can love
0:09:35.290,0:09:38.999
He thought because he didn’t have something ticking inside his chest. He couldn’t love
0:09:40.360,0:09:48.089
But that’s not true because we all have something ticking inside of us, and we can love we know how to love
0:09:50.350,0:09:52.439
We’ve just been loving the wrong person
0:09:54.550,0:10:00.539
We have to love ourself first have to set those boundaries and do not let people
0:10:01.990,0:10:07.139
break them do not listen to their words listen to their actions and
0:10:08.769,0:10:12.058
Find your heart again. You will find it. I
0:10:13.929,0:10:20.909
Don’t know about you, but I kind of thought the lion was cute. You know just this sort of little wimpy
0:10:21.490,0:10:26.519
you know where R and then he was scared when the dog barked at him little toto I
0:10:28.029,0:10:32.039
Felt bad for him. Go figure. Let’s think about that
0:10:34.059,0:10:38.129
I’m a caregiver right of course I’m going to pity
0:10:38.829,0:10:43.019
The one that has no bravery he needs help
0:10:44.079,0:10:46.079
I’ll help him
0:10:48.249,0:10:53.368
The Lion had courage all along, too. He was brave
0:11:00.200,0:11:06.490
Yeah, courage you stood up to a witch and he stood up for a friend
0:11:09.230,0:11:11.230
You [can] do that
0:11:14.240,0:11:16.240
Do you have courage?
0:11:17.629,0:11:24.909
Getting over this narcissist thing you have to reprogram your brain every single time
0:11:27.589,0:11:29.420
You get Sad
0:11:29.420,0:11:34.810
You remember something you think oh my God we had the best time in the world. How could he do this to me?
0:11:35.480,0:11:40.269
She did this she did that get rid of those thoughts and be brave
0:11:41.149,0:11:45.878
Be brave for yourself, and if you can’t be brave for yourself if you’ve got children be free for them
0:11:46.490,0:11:50.560
Your children are watching how you are handling this and they are learning
0:11:51.379,0:11:54.188
About life through what they see with you right now
0:11:54.230,0:11:59.649
and you have probably just been crushed you have probably been hurt and
0:12:00.769,0:12:04.029
There’s so much damage inside of us and yet
0:12:06.079,0:12:11.979
We need to really pull it together in front of our kids. Don’t let them see this
0:12:13.519,0:12:19.388
Be brave and be strong when you get them on the school bus go back to bed if you need to
0:12:23.449,0:12:25.449
be brave like the lion
0:12:27.779,0:12:30.049
the Wizard The Wizard I
0:12:31.319,0:12:35.719
Thought he had it good. I thought he was pretty cool, but you know
0:12:36.449,0:12:38.449
To think about it
0:12:38.550,0:12:43.550
He lands in this land of Oz this magical place with Green and yellow horses
0:12:44.610,0:12:48.769
And he has to go be hidden behind curtains and no one knows
0:12:50.879,0:12:54.259
It wasn’t a good life. He wanted to go back to Kansas to
0:12:57.660,0:13:01.519
Don’t listen to the man behind the curtain that’s her lesson there
0:13:02.819,0:13:04.878
Because you already know yourself
0:13:06.209,0:13:09.109
[you] can beat this it’s not easy
0:13:12.149,0:13:14.149
but if you’re like me a
0:13:15.149,0:13:16.889
Simple song
0:13:16.889,0:13:18.360
about
0:13:18.360,0:13:20.309
somewhere over the rainbow
0:13:20.309,0:13:26.178
Can put you into this weird dark brain and everything scared of coming together?
0:13:28.980,0:13:30.980
You have to think like that
0:13:32.040,0:13:35.689
And you’ll get it and I promise
0:13:36.540,0:13:40.939
You are so much better off without this person don’t miss them
0:13:41.999,0:13:43.860
just
0:13:43.860,0:13:50.659
Miss the person [that] you used to be and find him find her II that for yourself
0:13:53.610,0:13:56.179
We may not have witches arriving by bubble
0:13:59.910,0:14:04.459
But there is a somewhere over the rainbow oh my God
