Hi there this is Tracy and tonight, I want to talk about some of the emotions that you might be going through

0:00:07.419,0:00:09.419
Depending on where you are

0:00:09.969,0:00:12.299
in the stages of recovery

0:00:15.639,0:00:21.719
The feelings that you might be feeling if you’ve been with a narcissist a sociopath or psychopath

0:00:23.680,0:00:26.309
If it was a love relationship a marriage

0:00:30.789,0:00:32.789
Someone that you knew at work a

0:00:33.670,0:00:40.800
Mother father sister brother child these are all very possible that you can

0:00:42.489,0:00:48.569
Be encountering them and so that the feelings are gonna go that scale but

0:00:51.010,0:00:53.430
Confusion and fear

0:00:54.699,0:00:56.699
hurt and depression

0:00:57.520,0:00:59.520
anger and anxiety

0:01:00.219,0:01:01.629
and

0:01:01.629,0:01:05.639
You may feel completely lost you may feel like you’ve lost your best friend

0:01:06.010,0:01:12.689
you may feel like you’ve lost your partner you may feel like you’ve lost the person that you thought you knew and

0:01:13.420,0:01:19.530
all of a sudden this new person is taking over their role this person is coming and

0:01:20.049,0:01:23.339
Acting like nothing you’ve ever seen it doesn’t matter if it’s been

0:01:24.009,0:01:26.999
two months or 20 years suddenly

0:01:27.729,0:01:29.729
There’s a new person in your life

0:01:30.430,0:01:33.209
because this person would have never treated you that way or

0:01:34.060,0:01:38.159
Have they not been doing it all along. That’s the secret here guys

0:01:41.170,0:01:46.619
With all of these feelings for me, I had them all I went through different stages of

0:01:47.380,0:01:50.220
Confusion like my head. I couldn’t concentrate

0:01:50.259,0:01:56.099
I couldn’t hold a thought and I was like deer in the headlights and squirrel squirrel squirrel

0:01:56.100,0:01:59.610
I was running around and kept really busy hyper hyper

0:02:00.640,0:02:08.339
Couldn’t sleep so I had anxiety I was afraid to go to bed. I was afraid of the future. I was afraid of

0:02:08.890,0:02:10.890
What was happening?

0:02:10.959,0:02:14.169
In both discards it was just brizia

0:02:14.810,0:02:16.810
stings in my entire life

0:02:18.680,0:02:20.680
And I want to know how you

0:02:22.460,0:02:30.040
Got past some of these feelings because if we discuss it I think that everybody will have something that can help someone else and

0:02:30.860,0:02:35.680
While I don’t pretend to know at all I’m learning and I haven’t done at all

0:02:36.530,0:02:38.530
Some of the first things I did

0:02:38.900,0:02:44.919
Before I really fully understood or did my research on what a narcissist was was I saw my doctor

0:02:45.020,0:02:52.570
I said listen. I like I can’t sleep I can eat. I lost like 40 pounds when I was going through my divorce I

0:02:53.180,0:02:54.380
I

0:02:54.380,0:02:56.300
was lost and

0:02:56.300,0:03:03.550
my doctors put me on an antidepressant because you’re going through a divorce of course you’re going to be sad, so let’s

0:03:04.100,0:03:06.100
antidepressant her so

0:03:06.470,0:03:12.850
He started me on Madden and four years later. I’m still on it. I wanted to go off it this past year and

0:03:13.430,0:03:18.399
He suggested. I waited till after winter because a lot of people are triggered by winter

0:03:18.680,0:03:21.250
well that was never it took her for me, so I

0:03:21.770,0:03:24.070
Listened to him because he is my doctor, right?

0:03:25.730,0:03:30.579
And and while the antidepressants helped, I think they help normalize

0:03:31.340,0:03:34.300
My reaction and and and my fears it

0:03:35.150,0:03:41.410
Certainly it didn’t know me it just I guess it just did what it’s supposed to do by equalizing

0:03:41.900,0:03:47.800
my body and and my reaction to things so I didn’t go deep deep into a

0:03:48.530,0:03:51.040
depression where you can’t get out of bed and

0:03:51.830,0:03:54.820
I know plenty of people that that have happened to

0:03:55.610,0:03:57.200
but

0:03:57.200,0:04:01.569
After I did that the doctor with them say well you still got anxiety

0:04:02.360,0:04:07.119
That’s different than you know depression, so here’s some anti-anxiety medicine

0:04:08.840,0:04:15.369
Primarily for you to take at night, but if you’re having a panic attack or something, then you should always have these near you

0:04:16.010,0:04:18.010
Okay, I’ve listened to my doctor

0:04:18.440,0:04:20.440
I didn’t like them and

0:04:21.750,0:04:23.130
He

0:04:23.130,0:04:27.950
then prescribed sleeping pills because that would help me sleep better and

0:04:28.470,0:04:33.350
I took them for quite a long time, and it wasn’t good

0:04:34.680,0:04:40.849
They did get me to sleep, but I don’t think it’s the same sleep. I I know that it’s not the same sleep so

0:04:42.450,0:04:47.689
Your doctor might be doing these same steps, this is kind of protocol for someone going through

0:04:49.170,0:04:53.180
PTSD and and talking about confusion fear hurt anger depression and

0:04:53.460,0:04:58.309
Anxiety and and just lost weight, so those are normal things your doctor might you

0:04:59.430,0:05:00.600
I

0:05:00.600,0:05:03.469
saw an acupuncturist and I

0:05:04.290,0:05:12.290
Was getting needles to reduce anxiety use the stress the depression the symptoms that my body was taking on

0:05:12.660,0:05:14.280
because I was

0:05:14.280,0:05:16.110
in PTSD

0:05:16.110,0:05:22.279
The losing weight they’re not wanting to eat. They’re not wanting to sleep so the acupuncturist helped

0:05:23.340,0:05:25.140
I

0:05:25.140,0:05:27.090
saw a

0:05:27.090,0:05:31.399
Homeopathic doctor and he prescribed these teeny tiny bottles

0:05:31.400,0:05:35.809
I don’t even know what the treatment is, but I think that really helped me

0:05:37.260,0:05:39.260
Normalize a lot of parts of my body

0:05:39.840,0:05:43.729
According to him many of my organs were shutting down my liver my kidney

0:05:44.910,0:05:50.119
my frontal lobe this that there were all these parts that were not doing well because of

0:05:50.730,0:05:53.659
this fight flight or freeze and anxiety so

0:05:54.210,0:05:58.159
I think what he gave me really really helped a lot and

0:05:59.370,0:06:01.170
I’ll put the link to it down below

0:06:01.170,0:06:05.390
Because I don’t know the name of it all I know is I had these little teeny tiny

0:06:05.820,0:06:09.320
Homeopathic drops and like sick monomer Tong and then they disappeared

0:06:13.500,0:06:16.730
Besides all of these things there’s EMDR

0:06:18.090,0:06:19.440
there is

0:06:19.440,0:06:24.740
Tapping a friend of mine does tapping and she helped me through some of the parts by tapping

0:06:24.780,0:06:28.859
and you say the meditation is really good for you and

0:06:30.370,0:06:32.849
What I have learned through all of this is

0:06:33.970,0:06:40.289
our bodies hope power to heal, maybe we don’t even really know that because

0:06:41.410,0:06:44.219
We have a symptom we go to the doctor they

0:06:44.800,0:06:48.960
Give us a solution or a medicine or something that will treat the symptoms

0:06:48.960,0:06:51.780
Not really the problem right they can’t change that were depressed

0:06:51.780,0:06:56.669
They can’t change that crap is happening to us faster than we can you know breathe?

0:06:57.190,0:06:58.660
but

0:06:58.660,0:07:00.660
if you look at these things that

0:07:02.979,0:07:05.639
We can do to help ourselves

0:07:07.389,0:07:09.389
If you’re having a panic attack

0:07:10.060,0:07:12.060
or anxiety

0:07:12.130,0:07:14.189
Fears are overcoming you

0:07:15.340,0:07:21.329
What I learned which is the most important thing for me was to close my eyes and feel

0:07:21.669,0:07:26.008
Where was it tight was it tight here in my chest just in whites fruit?

0:07:26.500,0:07:30.149
Um or other parts of my body hurting me

0:07:30.909,0:07:32.909
sort of scan your body

0:07:33.310,0:07:35.310
breathing really deeply

0:07:35.469,0:07:37.300
Breathing as deeply as you can

0:07:37.300,0:07:42.930
Until it goes way down into the bottom of your stomach and what you’re doing is you’re kind of like

0:07:43.360,0:07:46.919
Getting your mind on the breaths and this sounds all fufufufu

0:07:46.919,0:07:52.019
I used to think you know all of that was foo-foo, but now I know that it really works

0:07:52.020,0:07:56.549
and it really can calm your body it can stop that anxiety attack and

0:07:57.280,0:08:03.750
It can help you sleep at night if you just focus in on on your entire body

0:08:04.630,0:08:06.630
It’ll help you sleep

0:08:06.789,0:08:12.299
If you’re having a panic attack if things are just triggering you and you’re upset

0:08:12.819,0:08:15.329
Just do this let your feet on the ground

0:08:15.969,0:08:17.770
nice and flat

0:08:17.770,0:08:20.759
Put your hands on your knees and close your eyes

0:08:22.419,0:08:24.419
And just breathe

0:08:25.479,0:08:29.098
Feel where that anxiety is

0:08:30.660,0:08:32.490
And tell it

0:08:32.490,0:08:34.490
in your mind

0:08:34.590,0:08:36.590
But it’s okay

0:08:36.659,0:08:40.189
There’s nothing to fear right now right now. You’re safe

0:08:42.300,0:08:48.020
What happens will happen and you will do everything that you can but worrying about things that haven’t happened

0:08:48.660,0:08:51.290
Is our biggest enemy so I?

0:08:51.900,0:08:55.519
Would like to hear what you did to get past all of these feelings

0:08:55.520,0:08:59.299
I would like to know if you can offer the community here some advice

0:09:00.270,0:09:05.599
So that we can all help each other heal. I’ve just pretty much laid out everything that I did

0:09:05.630,0:09:10.969
Oh counselling books of course counseling you want to talk to a counselor

0:09:11.580,0:09:15.889
And I want you to ask the counselor. What do they know about?

0:09:18.180,0:09:21.950
Emotional abuse they will not diagnose your

0:09:23.280,0:09:25.280
narcissist sociopath or psychopath

0:09:25.440,0:09:28.789
Without them being there, and they’re not gonna be there. They’re if they do go

0:09:28.790,0:09:29.880
They’re gonna pretend

0:09:29.880,0:09:36.530
but make sure they have an awareness of the signs and the flags and

0:09:36.870,0:09:41.359
And the guidance that you’re gonna need to get you out of this so

0:09:42.240,0:09:49.490
If the if the therapist doesn’t know anything about them. They might be a great therapist, but they’re not for you and

0:09:50.430,0:09:53.120
Just like we’re gonna have to eliminate people from our life

0:09:53.130,0:10:00.499
We have to make the choice to choose someone that is going to serve us so make sure you get help Sharik set up help

0:10:01.170,0:10:08.479
Meet up groups. I have a meetup group, and I meet once a month, and I really think that helps validate

0:10:09.330,0:10:11.330
everybody’s different feelings so

0:10:11.670,0:10:18.620
On my website narcissists abuse support calm link down there. You’re gonna be able to find

0:10:19.350,0:10:21.830
all the meetups my state and

0:10:22.050,0:10:27.830
All of the local support that you might be able to get I got ten weeks free counseling from the state

0:10:27.990,0:10:32.000
And it was the best counseling that I had during my recovery

0:10:32.370,0:10:37.039
process they know abuse and they can really help you this is chasey and

0:10:38.430,0:10:43.250
