    After listening to Poor Boundary Function Part 1 & 2, I finally understood how I have been unable to construct strong boundaries in order to self-partner & would lower my own desires and needs to please others. When I finally stood up for what I wanted, I was left by the person who was pushing for what they were trying to extract from me by taking and not being willing to give back to me in return. This was the first time in my entire life that I set boundaries. I then questioned myself whether I did the right thing. It has taken me almost one year to grasp if I let myself be used, I would be abused and end up in the same vicious cycle. Thanks to listening to your videos, I am convinced I am better off without the Narcissist even though I am alone now. I am working on self-partnering & upleveling to be more available to myself and meeting my own needs so that I don't have to feel like a victim ever again and be available for a more healthy relationship with myself and another man who man come along who is attracted to the emotionally healthy person I have become. Thank you so much for teaching me a different way to experience life.

    self love is by far the hardest thing I have ever had to do...and honestly it takes a lot longer than I wish it did. I am 48 and I have realized this year that I still have a long way to grow. But, I am trusting the process and these videos are helping. One moment at a time. 'Rome wasn't built in a day!'

    I appreciate that you make the distinction between responsibility and blame. There are many people, even very spiritual people, who don't understand that. I can take responsibility for what I feel and how I choose to handle those feelings, but that does not remove the fact of what someone else has done.

    Beautiful video Melanie. First off, you look absolutely gorgeous. Secondly, because of your videos I'm learning and growing so much from your videos. They help me see where I have looked for others to be that source of safety, security, and happiness for myself for years! Yet I could never get it to work. I still felt abandoned, alone, rejected, and not good enough. Today I'm changing that behavior by learning to be my own source of safety, security, and happiness. Today's message was profound in that you listed examples of how I would second guess myself because of being afraid of losing the person I was trying to define a boundary with. This was a huge lightbulb moment for me. I recently was presented a situation that brought up this inner conflict which was causing me to self doubt again because I didn't want to come off as a b----. I now realize the negative emotions are mine to work on and up level AND it is necessary for me to establish my own boundary and uphold it.

    Thank you for this, I really needed this clarification. I've had very poor boundaries all of my life, where most people have just walked all over me, so I have been working on understanding them and what they feel like. Then I started practicing setting healthy boundaries. I now realize why two actions I have been taking are not working. (1) Fighting and arguing to get someone else to "get it" and my boundaries, and (2) thinking everyone is going to just automatically respond in a respectful way when I set a boundary like, "Good for you, great job respecting yourself, I will now respect you too."

    When the narc projects their insecurities onto us which are not based on reality, this forces us to work on ourselves and re-establish our boundaries. I’m dealing with jealous coworkers who keep trying to undermine my success on a regular basis.

    Great talk Mel. Boundary issues, people pleasing and approval from others are huge for me. I am doing a lot of "fake it till I make it" with varying degrees of success. My big thing right now is everyday boundary patrol. By that I mean no one in my life is really calling me trash or a liar or a cheater right now. Those people have all been ejected from my life. How do I deal gracefully with the people who casually overstep boundaries with more subtle comments or actions that may or may not be actually intended to disrespect. For instance, a casual but inappropriate comment from an aquaintance about my weight, my clothes or whether or not my bra is giving me enough support. Or asking me to do free work for them. Or giving unsolicited criticism disguised as advice about a personal matter. These may not be deliberate attempts to push my buttons. Or they may be. Either way, this isn't behavior I like to encourage or communicate tacit agreement with a smile and a nod. When I am triggered I want to either shut down or tear someone a new one and in a casual social situation, neither reaction is appropriate. How do I communicate how I want to be treated with dignity and class in a manner that shuts down a potential "button pusher" but doesn't turn off every one else?

    Right on point for me. Just yesterday, before I had begun module 1. At work, as actors, entering our holding area for the days location, I found a space for myself and belongings...right at that moment, another person, who had been red flagged for me...a talker, evidently no boundaries person decided to sit right next to me, and begin to violate my space. So, at the first opportunity, I quietly gathered my things and moved to another table. (Safer, healthier choice, honoring my boundary) I did not engage him. He continued throughout the day to make snide remarks for my attention. I paid him no mind, until later in the day he was in my face and I erupted like a rabid dog for him to get away from me. I was avoiding an exchage with him, but clearly what he wanted, as he seethed, then grimaced, soaking up the supply. My friends rallied with me, but it was so uncomfortable. Brought the experience to NARP module 1, and clearing this from my two year old self, ancient stuff. I want to have these monsters out of my life, and be surrounded with respect. What would be a better way to handle this?

    I loved these boundary videos. There are things that you said that I can really relate to and I see now where I did what I did. I would like you to talk about something I heard of called the covert narcissist. I was married to the verbally abusive narcissist who would degrade me and call me names. After my divorce, I got into a relationship with someone that didn't fit the typical narcissist mold. He didn't do those obvious things that my ex did. He was manipulative and controlling in ways that I didn't know a person could be and I didn't realize he was doing it - just always felt that something was off but couldn't put my finger on it. I missed the signs for so long and I would like to know more about how to spot the covert narc that is so smooth and calculating that you don't realize the rug is being slipped out from under you until you've been flipped on your head. Thanks!

    @shellbell8062 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Loved the intro! Loved the content even more. I still struggle with boundaries and this is so affirming. I know it in my head, yet when I'm not being treated as I should be; I am triggered and upset that I am not being loved and respected as I should be; and fighting for this affirmation and approval from others. Thank you for cementing what I know deep down already; I don't need validation from anyone but me.

    Love the lippy sketch at the beginning :-D :-D :-D I think that's one thing we narc abuse recoverers need to rediscover - our sense of humour! Life gets so serious when you're going through all this. So glad I found your stuff here - just yesterday.... I think a few months ago I was still too raw to be able to focus on my own inner truths... Now I am ready :- bring it on! So much to take on board in these two boundary videos... Boundaries deffo a glaring issue in my life...... More on boundaries and triggers please! The part about triggers in this video alone is going to be of tremendous help....but if you could go over this subject for a bit more I think that will help it to sink in. I think maybe more about how to detach from that triggered feeling and what to do with it once you have, would be enormously helpful. Thanks for this. You're fab... with or without the lippy :-D :-D :-D

    Fabulous video on boundaries that goes beyond 'you need them' to how it actually FEELS to create and implement them. I would add that keep thriving not because there is nothing else to do but because it is our desire, our right, and it shows respect for the gift we have of being alive. Delighted to have found your words.

  • @dottifrankian6336
    @dottifrankian6336 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You are so right about setting boundaries. It's weird because I thought I was strong about boundaries with others and even throughout my relationship with the narcissist, but other times, I knew he was doing so many things to set me up, and I let it go and ignored it. Those violations took over me because I loved him. I know now how weak I was. That's why I feel the same for not being stronger.

    p.s. It has Really helped...The Best series for me. i see I have Inner Child models of awaiting the 'Prince to Rescue me' & doing 0 but being helpless & Very dependent. These 'Ladybird' stories have played Massively in my old programming. In one "Sleeping beauty": she lies in a deep sleep & He has to cut his way thru deep briars to reach her. (The only Truth is see now is: she was Unconscious & asleep!) I saw that All my life. Now I see the external briars are my internal thickets to upleavel. Brilliant series. It is Soo helping me. Thank you So much. Now just gotta plug into the NARP QFH to upleavel All the wounds/ my old/our own Cultural norms around the woman waiting around to be rescued. I Need to Rescue Me! I have had nothing but hurt due to old outmoded programmes in Me.... over & over again.It is Now up to me to upleavel My wounds to meet a new reality. I cannot blame ...I attracted My own wounds.

    Thank you for making me feel better about not knowing how to set boundaries. I thought it was a natural thing. People who really care, healthy people, have an impossible time understanding why we act this way. Well she must like abuse, she keeps going back. I was just trying to get what I was supposed to so I could take care it. I love growing up😊

  • @janegore6047
    @janegore6047 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for yet another brilliant and helpful video. I get excited when I receive your e mails and can't wait to find time alone to listen. Feels like a light has been switched on.
    I bought the silver NARP last year but I cannot get past stage one because I cannot find my childhood trauma. I had a really happy childhood. Having listened to all your videos, EVERYTHING you say makes sense. From you I have learned is that I am an empath co-dependent wife , but I probably cannot find the trauma because I was the apple do daddy's eye and had a wonderful mum too so I was very immature and never had to think for myself. So finding a clear starting point from which to get off the ground with NARP is difficult.
    Now after 29 years of marriage,boundaries are hard to put into place whilst still living/working in this business partnership with my narc. You are my life line so I hope you keep making your videos. My aim is to look as happy and radiant as you one day. X

    • @PathsToEmpowerment
      @PathsToEmpowerment 8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +Jane Gore you are very welcome. I really want to urge you to consider moving from Silver to Gold - so that you can have full Community support with the NARP Forum - because I promise you there is childhood programming there - and in no way is that taking away from the great childhood you had ... To do this all you need to do is email support@melanietoniaevans.com Occasionally this happens - people like yourself - and I explain this situation fully in my 3 Keys Webinars - and I'd love you to join in one of those too - www.melanietoniaevans.com/freewebinar You are only a couple of tweaks away from having your NARP experience open up to where it needs to be to start getting profound shifts. xx

    I left the most recent bout with a narcissist in 10 days and had not had sex with him in that time either. While it may have been a bit of a slip to have given him the time of day in any case at all.... Once he showed his abusive side and his complete inability to deal with a healthy boundary...I left and demanded no contact with a witness, knowing the next level would be a legal matter if he breached it. Thanks for all that you do. xx

    Thank you for this and all your videos. I have a situation where walking away or removing a personality disordered person from my life is not an option because it is a coworker. I know the solution lies in me and not them changing but it is hard and I am intimidated by this person. I know the principle of showing up powerfully is the same whether it's a lover, friend, or family member but aside from leaving the job, there are fewer options in dealing with the situation when it's a coworker or boss. I think this topic could be beneficial to many who face this challenge in their life. Thank you for reading my comment.

      +Rinat Ludwig Watch Melanie's video on youtube, "Quanta Freedom Healing From Switzerland with Sandra". It's lengthy, and you'll have to be willing to sit still and focus your attention for a while, but if you substitute your situation with Sandra's as you follow along with the process, you just may realise some real benefit from this very powerful healing method. And, when you change on the inside, even just a little, the world outside changes with you. It must - because YOU have changed. Good Luck!

    General additional random comment, "narcissists" teach us one lesson: The only real thing is love. They are master teachers in that regard. That one can be "a victim of narcissistic abuse" is just an illusion... I am sure that once you change your focus to see the blessing, the lesson that narcissist brought to your life, healing will be forthcoming. We are not here to be loved by other humans in the manner that our human mind deems "fair" or just. That is what a "narcissist" is trying to help us see. The narcissist is shouting: "everything is illusion, except that which is not! "

    Hi Mel, and all in the community! Just watching this now. Very timely! Despite being 56 I seem to be attracting people as I did in my 20s, since doing the quanta freedom healing. Am enjoying life and my own connection to myself so much, feeling happier than ever in my life, and freer. So as these various people are wandering in and out of my energy field it is highly educational to watch how i am reacting with them, because definitely some want to be controllers. Am right there with realizing that when and where I grew up was an ideal pressure cooker for codependents. So having conscious boundary blueprints are really useful and helpful. It is a really good addition to how I am tweaking mod 11 from narp. (Been tweaking that for professional growth as I am starting over in life.) Will be fun to see where we all are in a year!
    Thought for the future: I have been working energetically with allowing energy connection and then stepping back consciously to keep my own energy field clear. Working with shamanic type techniques on this, since am an empath. More work and knowledge around this topic would be very good! There are probably many techniques, I would like to know more about it.
    Thank you & love as always -
    Valerie

    I love this video series on boundaries, Melanie. It totally resonates with what I'm going through and all of this work is a living practice for me. I wanted to know if you could go a little more deeply into the process of how to create a sense of psychological safety for ourself. Through the Narp recovery process, I discovered and have been clearing this wound where I was constantly looking for men to create safety for me and saw how that search led me to mentally abusive relationships. Self-partnering with my inner child has been huge for me and last night I had a breakthrough about this but I want to strengthen this self-loving relationship and release the judgments I had against myself for being scared in the first place and then build safety within myself. Thank you so much. 💜💜😇🙏 ~Mita

I want to be honoured, respected, valued and believed! I want to live it, breath it, be it - as you said. Never again I will feel like I felt without boudaries! I now know the difference because I did the inner work (inner child work - and now NARP - which is even more empowering because of the connection to source energy supply :-) ) It just works! Thank you again for explaining all this so well! It confirmed to me that I am on the right track! I think I got it - it feels just great - safe and calm. But still have to train... every day - not to loose that track. I am just at the beginning ..! Lots of love and thanks for great your support!

    Thankyou , thankyou , thankyou. I had an aha moment. I am so pleased. I had a hyper-ventilating moment when the narc out of my life tried to hoover back into my circle. It was scary and awful as anything. Thought I was going to have a heart or stroke thing or such. As you mentioned it here; I had a flashback to a bullying incident when I was about 7 or 8 years old; and the headmaster dismissed us as wasting his time and making him sick with us. I felt powerless and like it was my fault. Back to the recent past; my feelings of powerlessness and no where to go brought it all on for me. Luckily my friends and posse rallied around, and the two (not one) Narcs left the scene defeated. Now I realise what that what the hyper ventilating was about, I can sort that if it comes again. At the scene; one of my friends told me to hold my breath; and it stopped it. Thankyou again.

    Hi Mel... first a huge thank you to you for completely being my virtual friend and mentor for the past several months as I heal, uplevel, and move on from a narcissistic relationship. I have watched many of your videos and have shared your link with many professionals in the field of counseling as well as friends.
    Though I feel I'm making progress, I'm still having triggers. After I left the narc in my life, I got a new job and promotion- only to find that some of the people I supervise have the same projection, no boundary, and blame and shame tendencies! Isn't life amazing that way?? I am their supervisor and struggle quite a bit with how to deal with the constant anger that I feel from them on a near weekly basis. Unlike the narc, I can't just walk away and I need to be concerned with doing the most professional thing. Can you cover this at some point- workplace difficulties?
    Thanks again... you are changing my life!!! Lots of love.

    Okay, first, I had to stop the video because I was laughing so hard at the beginning. OMG it was adorable!! It shows a little side of laughter in life, that punctuates the work needed to be done for ourselves with some joy and laughter in the process. The video itself was packed with very important points, and I will need to see it over and over again - and I'll love to. Your passion about helping get these things across works for me. Your principles of self love and validation and partnering (see, I'm listening) are a wonderful adjunct to my Al Anon program. I think because they both tap into an idea that is universal, and healing. So...Thank you so much, for helping me see how to heal during the course of leaving (divorcing) my NPD person.

    Hahahaha the lipstick. You crack me up! Highest five! And I lost my shit last night! Now I get why. Thank you! He's not a NARC, took the quiz. But he is at a level of codependency and unhealed wounds himself. Since I started setting boundaries, it's been difficult. Our relationship has not been so great. There have been times where he meets me and owns his shit, apologizes. And times where he does just like the NARC did and says nasty things, blames me, projects, etc. I am at the place where I don't need an outcome and it's like "why would I want to be with you if??" So that is helpful to have you say that. I feel calm most times, it's when my boundary hits an unhealed wound in him or triggers him and I wasn't sure what to do. Walking me through the steps REALLY helped! I am able to go back through last nights big fight and see how I could have done things differently. I also know what I want and how to say it from an empowered place instead of a defending/prescribing place like I was.

    • @PathsToEmpowerment
      @PathsToEmpowerment 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Nikki Weigel yes we can all lose our "stuff" LOL! The more solid you get darl you will see whether or not this starts to up-level. My question, also to you, would be this .... does he work at developing himself and take responsibility for his inner stuff? Is he interested in joining you there as a true evolving partnership? If not - you really have "no deal". x

    • @nikkiqualley1240
      @nikkiqualley1240 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Melanie Tonia Evans this was a great question! It caused me to think. There have been times where I though I was setting boundaries, I was setting ultimatums, prescribing, fixing, etc. At those times, no he was not wanting to meet me on the journey, and why would he?! I am very new at setting boundaries, like SUPER new. But I can see a few times in the past (before I found you) where I have set them in our long term relationship in the healed adult way and he has met me there absolutely. Since yesterday, I have restated my boundaries I mucked up the first time and it was a completely different experience. I think that is telling of the type of soul he is and partner.

    Mel, I really needed to hear this, because, in the middle of a conversation with someone today, that person walked off into another room in the middle of my sentence. I was angry and told him when he returned that this action was rude and highly disrespectful which was definitely a boundary violation and then pushed it further by stating that he saw I was just thinking about what I was going to say next so did not think that there was a problem at all. Excuse me I said nobody can possibly know what is going or not going on in my head at any given time and I was in the middle of a sentence. Wow I actually fell into a trap and I should know better. Back to module 1. Helen

    Please do more videos on boundaries, this is such a tough subject for me to grasp. How do I let go of my fears of abandonment and rejection? I think my fears are the reason I haven't enforced my boundaries in the past.

  • @LuckyJAmbrose
    @LuckyJAmbrose 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    great awareness... for me a long time coming.
    So how does one actually do this after a life time of conditioning?
    boundaries... scary
    I understand it first starts with awareness... and I am so appreciative for that.
    would love concrete steps in how to work with the fear of abandonment and consequence after setting a boundary
    ever time I do... they leave.
    which I know is a good thing however it's getting mighty lonely here.
    with each boundary I exercise comes a deep panic.and loneliness.

    I got badly triggered yesterday. The videos are helping. I spent the entire night crying. I don’t understand what u said towards the end....life reflects our state.....It always catches me off guard...I felt happy in the morning....I didnt see it coming basically.....And I get stuck in feeling a victim to the circumstance, instead of owning it. I dont see how I create it basically. Or I am trying to see still.

    Dear Melanie, thank you for your videos and great informations. I worked with many woman through my hairdressing carrier, I retired from. I now serve many woman with my Soul's/lives gifts. I talk to many women and serve them with the wisdom I collected through many lives, I believe. I also experienced narcissism in the past and I like to ask you what is your point of view on witnessing narcissism in the public? Specially in parents children relationships. Recently I traveled, and at the airport I saw how poorly parents treated their 2 young children, a boy and a girl, and it was in the form of "game". I also heard about a scenario where a family member (not a parent) punished a child for touching some "stuff" that should not be touching. What to do in the case when you witness or hear about projecting narcism wounds onto child? Thank you for your insights, I wish you all the best on your journey of Self love. Blessings

    Whoever criticized your lipstick before was just a jealous fool! You look great and your lipstick is perfect!
    My comment on narcissists - what comes around, goes around. Don't ever try to exact revenge yourself. That is always up to a higher power. Just be honest and truthful and live by the Golden Rule.
