• Entitled vs Empowered

  The last few days I’ve been wallowing in the past a little bit. I have a new perspective now, so I don’t get lost there anymore. It’s still an emotional – I was going to use the word rollercoaster but that’s too fun of a word for how it feels to look back at your…

• Honest Healing

  

  Sometimes it hits me out of nowhere, how truly alone I have felt in my life. I lean across the window sill in my bedroom to push the window wide before bed, thinking about nothing more sinister than the cool night air and it’s delicious contrast to the warm, soothing sheets while I sleep. My…

• Disassociation

  

  You know that feeling when you arrive at a destination, you park the car, and then you realise you have absolutely no recollection of the drive there? Or when you leave the house, get ten yards down the road and have no idea if you shut and locked the door, so you turn back and…

• Isolation

  

  Understanding the Narcissist He made me feel completely alone in this world. I am still unpacking the how and the why of that in my therapy sessions. None of it was overt, which is why it’s so difficult to unravel, I think. At no point was I ever expressly told not to have friends, not…

• Happy Birthday To Me

  

  My thinking has been completely reframed as the day progressed. I woke up already entrenched in my trauma responses, choking on anxiety and this enduring feeling of unworthiness. The pattern of abuse that I have previously been exposed to doesn’t exist anymore. This post tracks my thought processes, and my awakening as I stepped out…

• Love Bombing

  Understanding the Narcissist Love, affection, kindness and gifts are all really normal aspects in a healthy relationship, which is why it’s so hard to distinguish when it’s actually the toxic love bombing of the narcissist instead. Love bombing is manipulative, it is a tactic of quickly snatching the affection and attention of another human being.…

• Gaslighting

  Understanding the Narcissist I don’t know about you, but I hear this word a lot more these days. I’m in a lot of different parenting groups on social media and quite often you’ll see mums posting frustrated rants about their partner who is driving them crazy. Usually, it’s a justified rant, she blows off steam,…

• Weaponised Incompetence

  Understanding the Narcissist You know when you’re building an Ikea flat-pack and you reach the point where you just want to hang yourself because the instructions don’t make sense, the pieces don’t align and quite frankly you can’t picture subjecting yourself to this torture for a single moment longer? This is exactly what it feels…
