more on this in this week’s pod episode 🎙️
I’ve been no contact now for a little over a year now. It was a decision I made after years of trying have an open dialogue with my emotionally immature parents. Defensiveness, denial and judgement made making any sort of forward progress feel impossible.
So often, those of us who have resorted to withdrawing from our relationships with our parents as a means of self-preservation are misunderstood or pressured to minimize our parents’ actions for the sake of maintaining a one-sided relationship.
I’ve learned so much in my first full year of no-contact, and we talk all about it in this week’s episode 🧡

i dont know about you, but sometimes the only way for me to convince myself that i can do something or that something is okay is to do it, to show myself that i can do it and everything is going to be okay 🫶🏻

anyone else feel like when their narcissistic parent would ask them a question, they were really just indirectly telling you to do something?? 🫠🫠

wanted to add this.. 🤔
being raised by an emotionally immature parent can sometimes lead you to neglecting yourself in friendships
setting boundaries and understanding healthy conflict-resolution are crucial in maintaining healthy relationships

the actions of a covert narcissist and our responses to them can be so easily camouflaged..
..over-involvement and enmeshment disguised as being present and supportive
..people-pleasing tendencies and self-neglect disguised as being respectful and considerate
..parentification disguised as maturity
all of this.. coupled with the narrative that ‘your parents love you,’ ‘your parents only want what’s best for you,’ it’s no wonder that so many of us only begin to realize our trauma in adulthood
sending hugs and admiration to each and everyone of us who has taken on this challenge and made a commitment to heal and break the cycle.. you are not alone 🫶🏻

feeling is healing.. learning how to acknowledge our emotions allows us to start to understand them, process them and, eventually, let them go 😌

was there a moment that you felt like you were taking your life into your own hands? how did it feel? 💭

hi friends 👋🏻
throughout my childhood, I became very good at hiding my emotions, especially if I thought they might be controversial. part of healing is making an intentional effort to stay in touch with our emotions (the good and the bad), to allow ourselves to acknowledge and validate them so we can start to process them and let go
it is a consistent, worthwhile practice that can sometimes be made more difficult when life is pulling us in different directions and there are other things that are demanding our time and energy

these similiarities can help us to develop our identity and sense of self.. it can be a process to learn how to allow space for them 🤔
