#IFS week 3 takeaway: 'No bad parts'. As narcissists my parents tried to portray the image of a perfect family. Upper middle class, successful business people, etc. This meant that my sister and I were programmed to never talk about the abuse. Talking about our feelings was met with rage,...

Easter was my sister's favourite holiday. She would do everything to create a space to remind her of the precious few times our family would be happy during some holiday. In the last few years of her life, the anxiety she would create over it would overwhelm her. I would get frantic phone calls...

Another 5 star review! "His commitment to breaking the cycle, parenting differently, and understanding rather than simply blaming gives this book its redemptive power. Being Broken by Geoffrey R. Jonas is essential for anyone ready to face the hidden cost of family dysfunction."

When someone who is suffering #narcissisticabuse ,and lives in fear of retribution, claims they cannot act because of their fear, we must believe them and support them. Telling them that they need to 'suck it up', or that they should 'lie in their bed' is victim blaming and shaming. Fear is real.

My mother needed a new charging cable, so I decided I would go see her. I am usually no contact with her and I was reminded why by her behaviour. Right of the bat, lies and distortions, which I called her out on. Then came the anger and mocking. She won't change. So I left. #CPTSD #boundaries

#IFS group, week 2 takeaway. It's like chemistry, but breaking ourselves down to our elements. Take 'salt' - NaCl Na - sodium, explosive with water - anger Cl - chlorine, a poisonous gas - jealousy, envy Put them together and you have your 'salty' part, that can be envious with a hint of anger.

I have been neglecting exercise for most of this year. Too much has been happening to cause me stress and anxiety, it was put on the back burner. Today I'm getting back on track. I've lost 30lbs since this time last year and I'd like to keep it up. No diets, no food restrictions. Eat less. #CPTSD

Missed my psilocybin microdose yesterday, and whoooee, my brain decided to give me a wild ride of dreams last night. Ultravivid, full surround, high fidelity, panavision, anxiety/trauma dreams. Friends I haven't seen in 30 years made an appearance. Multiple wake ups, one needed an hour to calm.
