When Your Friends & Family Tell You To Ignore The Narcissist

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today I want to talk about something I went through when I was suffering narcissistic abuse, which is when your family and friends tell you to ignore the narcissist. As always, we’ll look at this from a trauma-informed lens. First, we’ll understand what is so triggering about receiving this kind of comments from our loved ones, and then what we can do to stop being triggered and avoid getting into unnecessary conflicts. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What You Will Learn In This Episode:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Why the phrase "just ignore them" triggers us so much</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- How hearing that from our loved ones makes us feel the need for validation</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- What kind of addiction narcissistic abuse creates</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Why we must not feel shame or guilt for firing messages back at the narcissist</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We must recognise that healing from narcissistic abuse is not just doing affirmations and repeating "I'm good enough" every day. We have to perform deep work in our bodies because traumatic experiences are stored there. They get locked in our bodies and go directly into our fascia, deep into the visceral level and into our nervous system. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Resources:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Join my Narcissistic Trauma Recovery Programme™</span> <a href= "https://go.carolinestrawson.com/heal-the-trauma-of-narcissistic-abuse"> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://go.carolinestrawson.com/heal-the-trauma-of-narcissistic-abuse</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">- Join my Facebook group at</span> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/groups/thriveafternarcissisticabuse"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> https://www.facebook.com/groups/thriveafternarcissisticabuse</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="
