Since narcissistic abuse is all about malicious repetition. You must then, with repitition, recondition your subconscious mind to counteract what has been done. It takes discipline to bring up feelings that contradict how your conscious mind perceives, therefore to erase what has been written to the hard drive of your mind, you must delete filed by rewriting.. When you have an unwanted feeling, you must bring up a different feeling in each of these moments to override. When anxiety comes, shift the feeling no matter how impossible it seems. In the morning and before sleep, you must feed your mind nutrients to flourish your day ahead. Miracles happen when you start mastering SELF š
@Gaslight_Effect Such good practical advice.
@Gaslight_Effect This is a gem of a post.
@Gaslight_Effect All I know is half a life and being snuffed out. Now singled out with a vow of silence from others.
@Gaslight_Effect the self-hatred ran so deep, quickly. even after i went no-contact & got some space, i could not believe people would come to my retirement party. give me gifts? why? hug me? don't they know how awful i am? it takes time and work to undo the damage caused.
@Gaslight_Effect Any time you begin to miss the narcissist and those intrusive thoughts about the good sex/good times pop up, you must train yourself to immediately counter with memories of the abuse, instead. Every time. May take months. Years, even.
