    I suppose one of the so-called benefits of being a victim of narcissistic abuse and ending up a counter-dependent is that I do not pine for all these people. I'm just furious at the way they sucked me in and wasted so much of my life. That's what eats away at me. That I let them.

      wallymarcel1 I get that. I’m there too. Dealing with the characteristics within ourselves that allowed us to think we could do this: pride in a way

      I just learned about counter dependance today. I was trying to figure out what my problem with intimacy was and I feel like keeping someone so close to me that I knew I couldn't trust, that I never shared struggles with (in fear of exposing my weaknesses or being made public), that I spent so much time with and was still made to look and feel a fool, has done more damage than causing anger and confusion. I am now trying to recover counter dependance but I fear the "punching bag" notion of accidentally becoming totally codependent even more. I refuse to be open to abuse.

    In AA I learned. Its half way in the forest and it's half way out.
    No softer easier way. Without help it is to much for us. Alone doesn't work. This became an addiction. Hoping everyday she wound see the light. Some days would be ok. Then I would start trusting the relationship only to realize it was a set up. To buy time or get me to help her with something. In 8 years i never heard I love you that was deep and believable.
    Thanks to these videos I realized what I was up against. Moved out 8 days ago. Broke and emotionally bankrupt. I am not alone. I will put the work into recovery. I am worth it

    This was me 12 months ago. I couldn’t breathe or function. My head was in a mess that I didn’t know where to go or how to think. I still had to work with this man after being in a relationship with him. It was so painful and a few months ago I found out there was someone else In his life it crushed me all over again. A week ago I was told he was no longer with her and I thought I hope she saw what he was really like and she wasn’t going to be trapped in his web. I don’t want to see anyone else get hurt the way I was. I’m still working through a lot of demons from the relationship but today I can breathe and function a lot better than I could a year ago. I no longer work with him either and it’s made it so much easier to get up in the mornings and go to work.

For anyone reading who is stuck with a narc, I left him about 2 years ago and did no contact started loving myself more and now I'm so happy living my dream life with a beautiful man. You can do it! I know it's so hard and I want you to know I love you. Glad you found this channel! Let it help you and fill yourself with all the love you can! Mel, your hair looks great! Thanks again.

    I left the narcASS almost three months ago and can still feel the toxins seeping through me. I get triggered just as much, if not more so, now. I've lost two long term friends due to having flashbacks. I've pretty much been keeping myself isolated aside from doctor appointments and grocery shopping. I continue to feel like I'm walking on eggshells even without him in my life.

    I drive around a lot for work. So I think about my anger towards my mother all the time in my car. The broken family we are because she's so broken inside. My thoughts are constantly about the hurt and anger. I heard a good saying today. "Don't blame the narc...blame the pain they suffered to their own soul" this makes me feel better.
    Trying to figure out how to find passion, creativity and enjoyment. Really hard to find enjoyment and passion in the things I use to love doing. This video helped me understand the so within and so without concept. Never thought about my sole having so much effect on my outside world. Just as my mother inner wounds are causing chaos in her life I'm caught up in causing my own now. I was blind and just started to see the light.
    The Healing process starts within. I have a long way to get where I want to be.

      marylu7711 you're not the only one mentioning a 8 years cycle. I escaped from a relationship with narc and went no contact after 8 years of friendship as well. I wonder whether there is a some kind of cycle. Why does it take exactly 8 years? I have only intuitive thoughts about this.

    Yes! I've been doing soul work on the quantum level and its been the most effective while combined with some therapy around my deep beliefs, values, and fears. I do karmic clearings and other things which have helped. Cutting the soul attachment cords are definitely possible. It so nice to see someone speaking to exactly what we experience in these situations. I was just thinking "there's no way I can explain to my therapist it feels like my narc sucks my lifeforce and I'm drained by being around them. I know its an energy parasite and that's why I want to limit contact as much as possible."

    Soul War. Because I found help from you and others I worked out how to leave the narcissist, move cross country, and save as much of my finances as possible. Instead of thriving, I find myself in a perplexing physical depletion. Not the nail I watched this did I realize that the effects of this experience are not over but continuing in a different way.

    As I read some of other people’s comments I realized a lot of us have the same sadness, crushed feeling, devastation, whether more recently no contact or longer.
    I feel like this is a relationship/ bond like no other.
    I typically worry about others a lot and effects of things I say and do - believe some obsessive compulsive and lack of confidence.
    This is different though a narcissistic interaction and relationship is beyond addictive and draining and can be emotionally disturbing when trying to make sense of myself, somewhat him, or what happened.
    It truly feels like a deep bond that goes beyond the 10 years I’ve known him.
    Maybe a past life hurt of family members and then my own from others in my lifetime so far.
    I not only want to do this for me but for children if I have them and all and my future family.
    These wounds feel deep and unexplainable at times. Like a never ending journey and MTE has been the beginning of my new journey and I hope all of yours.

    I learned not to give a narcissist what they want the attention That they crave Other narcissist will try to ignore you unless it's something about them then they pay attention I had a niece that was a narcissist Like her mom Because they always fill themselves with things they could or never will accomplish but Pat themselves on the back for it and expect you to praise them to my niece's mom on top of narcissism is a classic hoarder and I'm glad I got away from both of them and moved back home to Utah But the final icing on the case is why I left California when I found out my brother is living a secret homosexual life and married to my sister-in-law so living there was something I could not bear because my brother's a pathological lies People get themselves in such deep bullshit And it would seem that my brother can never pull himself out of the lies And deep depression he suffers from.

    Thank you. I've been saying that its a soul war and everyone thinks I'm crazy. I really needed this at this exact moment. I feel that my soul is ridiculously strong and that he will never win, but he is a distraction for me to fulfill my life purpose. I also feel like this war has been going on with me and the narc many many lifetimes. I just need to be free up him for once and for all so I can get on with my work as a light worker

    A soul war it is and I’m winning mine back. I realized 6 weeks ago that my life has been a string of relationships with narcissists starting with my father. I’m due to move out in 2 weeks. I decided to visit my siblings who I haven’t seen in 4 years. They are all sick with losing the battle of their souls to the narcissists in their lives and one sibling is a narcissist. Their children show signs of of this sickness too. I had to come home to see for myself. Now I know. I see how this virus travels from one generation to the next. It stops with me and my soul is coming back online from doing the QFH NARP program. I just have to get through the next two weeks and my individual journey away from this plague begins. I am so excited. I can hardly wait.

    • @MelanieToniaEvans
      @MelanieToniaEvans  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hi Beloved Child,
      It can be one of the hardest decisions to make, to detach from the toxic family dynamic that a narcissistic parent creates. We can fear the feeling of isolation but we can build our own supports with loving, healthy friend and associates. We can create our own traditions. It can be very exciting, liberating and a lot of fun! Love and blessings xoxox

      I am experiencing a similar situation and looking into ways to get out and finally going no conact with my biological family. Its painful because I do love my siblings and their children but unfortunately their partners are narcissists and they have scapegoated me. Being the "scapegoat" has been a reocurring theme throughout my life. Going no contact was something I should have done many many years ago.

    I do feel like I think about him too much, I do get flash backs of millions of red flags that I had overlooked when I was with him. I had a "flying monkey" tell me he moved on recently. I didn't feel pain, my heart didn't sink like expected. When we broke up I had eliminated all the triggers and stopped contacting him completely and blocked him on all social media. I do feel like my self healing journey has made me stronger person and has opened my eyes to the extent of manipulation a person would go to for attention. It has really made me see the world in a whole new light. I have moments of joy and happiness on my own so I know I am on the right track. Yoga, meditation, reading the book 'power of now' has helped me with the anxiety I felt after breaking up with him. I moved making him the centre of my universe to finding myself as the main priority. My intuition woke up which is a gift I would never had if I had not met him. I am learning about boundaries and self love which is new to me. I have goals now, it has shifted my focus and energy. I don't cry like before and the dull ache and waking up crying from pain that all stopped. I had a big cry couple weeks where I apologised to myself for putting myself into a situation like that (had I loved myself I would not have let that happen as long as it did). I always check in on how I am feeling and I don't let my emotion take over me (I am not a victim). Self love, goals, and boundaries.

    I had to resort to creating a stone cold heart toward another human being to get away from my narcissist. I still think about her hourly every day. Life will never be the same. She'll likely try to contact me again. Worst experience of my life. Trauma is the only word for it.

    I would suggest to some of you (us) that these kinds of brutal/whirlwind connections w. men or women is really about US, just as melanie says. Blame goes both ways. Much of my own trial with an addict/narcissist was about BOTH of us in a sub/dom sexual relationship that became a power struggle for three years. Her alcoholism etc and MY Rage - perfect storm. We both received what is called, 'secondary gain.' But I do NOT blame this woman anymore and know, end of day I was there for my OWN sadism or perhaps, deep DEEP child trauma I have become to recognize better. I have begun to finally accept that these issues can NOT be healed in the mind - I wholly agree. It is the entire body n' soul on a micro level needing healing. It's not just NO contact w/ ea other but also, celibacy. The self-partnering visual is grand! I wish everyone success along this path. Peace.

    I do feel low energy and extremely tired and have for the last four and a half years. It’s been 3 years no contact and I am still working on trying to heal. Unfortunately I still re-live the bad scenes and all the shitty things he did in my head, all the time that makes me angry all over again. It’s truly unhealthy and exhausting. Sometimes I get sentimental over some good times too, which is also unhealthy. I wish I could erase the past 4.5 years altogether. I feel like my lifespan has likely been shortened bc of the stress.

I hope you get to a stage in your life where you are grateful for all the experiences in your lives because that is what made you the amazing people you are today! All the challenges and negative emotions have come into your lives for a reason, to make you stronger! (what doesn't kill you makes you stronger) You're all in my prayers. "Namaste"

      Terry C thank you. I have made only limited effort in writing. I get worried I might die and someone will find my rantings, i kid you not. I have been in therapy for three years and have done some EMDR but success there has been limited. I am one of those people who started out life w a narc parent who essentially stole my joy of being a kid only to end up with narc and or sociopathic partners after emancipation from the narc parent. I feel pretty ripped off. But here’s the thing, I know my anger is what ties me to, and keeps me thinking about, the ex. Reminds me of a meme I saw saying something like anger is the poison you drink hoping your opponent dies. But knowing that doesn’t stop me from ruminating.

    Melanie, I want to thank you for your NARP program. The first time I left the narc, was near the end of the first year of my marriage to the narc. I used your program and started to feel better within 30 days but I still didn't understand narcissism very well and was easily hooked back in trying to "help him." During "round 2" I sold my business due to the stress of the relationship, planned a move halfway round the world and left family and friends behind as part of leaving him behind. He love bombed me heavily and that brought me back for round 3 for "healing closure." Of course, neither healing nor closure happened with him so I moved AGAIN far from him and then the corona virus hit and I enjoyed my solitude and started doing NARP again but the isolation started to be more than I could handle and by then, close family was sick of hearing about my heartache and we all thought I should be recovered after a whole year alone... But sadly, I knew that I thought about him every day, the addiction was still raging on inside. I had slept MOST of every day for the year I spent alone in recovery. I was just so drained and grief stricken I couldn't work a job or function hardly at all. By the end of the year, I had started feeling physically better but was love-starved. I went back for round 4 and 5 which came close together. I think I FINALLY got the message that there is no way to have any type of healthy relationship with him and am alone again as my 3rd anniversay is drawing near.
    I'm just not sure how to COMPLETE the healing. I have to rebuild my life and not give it away this time. I need to learn how to relate to normal people all over again and form a whole new network from scratch but am still scared of people in general and just basically dreading more isolation. It's strange that I dread it, because I am an introvert and LOVE solo projects but enough is enough of this loneliness.
    Narp does help but maybe I'm doing it wrong or just need to do it more. I think I need to replace the narc with something better (but everything seems grey and boring without the love bombing honestly.) Any other ideas?

I love your passion when you speak and the truths that I feel vibrating harmoniously in my inner being that give me hope and belief in this powerful work. Like you, I do not want to come back here again and deal with all this mess. Im amazed that every video is just more powerful and truth packed than the last one I watched.

    Hi, and thank you for what you do ❤️ I went no contact almost two months ago after one last ditch effort to try to make it work again (on my half) he was totally shut off, cold player type energy, it was terrible, I didn’t know that person.. he pointed out all of my weak spots, tried to sleep with me then not talk to me for three months (his exact words) I didn’t fall for that thank god! But throughout the relationship I realized, by watching several videos about triangulation, that he had done that throughout our relationship, and would call me insecure and tell me “I’m not gonna cater to your insecurities” I stood up for myself and had boundary’s , he told me I had too many rules. He was also going to relationship therapy with me and getting vulnerable info from me, to only (from what I believe) use it against me. It was and still is a total mindfuck. He is a pillar of our community, he’s known as “the good guy” very put going, helping others and I would have never thought of him to be a narcissist, but after having this experience with him, I do believe he is a covert narcissist. I can’t really talk to many ppl about this bc a lot of ppl I know, also know him and believe him to be nice and harmless. He lacks empathey, compassion and accountibility, throughout the whole relationship. It was astounding to me, really bc he is known as such a good guy. I live 9 blocks away from him, IT SUCKS! I am kind of terrified to go out anymore in fear I will run into him, and more so run into him with his new gf. I have never felt this broken, confused, depressed, isolated after a breakup. And I am still looking for info to prove to myself that he is in fact a narcissist. Any advice? Thank you in advance!

And yes, because they are still involved with and widely loved in the broader community, and because people do not understand our situation, it is terribly isolating. I'm still struggling to think of my ex as a narcissist but the heartbreak and complete breakdown I am dealing with now is far beyond anything I've ever experienced. Mornings are brutal but the last couple of hours before bed I start to feel 'almost' normal. I hope you are doing ok. Namaste* ❤️☀️

    When you say they lost their soul... my ex narc told me that he felt like he was on the outside of his body and like he was 2 different people! I used to aka him when he would be in a rage what happened to my husband because it was like he was possessed or something. His pupils were fully dilated, foaming at the mouth, just an absolute monster. Then after he’d be like a big teddy bear while I’d be in state of shock, fear and confusion. He had told me about his dad having been similar .. so I know it’s epigenetics. It made so much more sense after he told me that ... I knew at that point I was dealing with a very mentally unwell and someone with a lost soul.

    My mom is probably a narcissist in my opinion. I used to feel like this when I still had contact with her. But I don´t have any contact now for about 8 years or so...And I definitely don´t feel like this anymore. I also had an ex boyfriend that maybe is a narcissist. I have spent only 5 days with him. But after this 5 days, I have spent YEARS to recover from him. I am not joking. I have never experienced such a damage from a man in only 5 days. Only a narcissit can cause that.

    I went no contact with my ex narcissistic bf almost 7 months ago. I do feel a lot better than I used although I know there is lots of work ahead of me. Couple of weeks ago I was standing in front of my home and chatting away. I noticed someone approaching me. It was dark could not see clearly. The figure of the person looked like my ex bf. I panicked inside. For a moment I felt like nothing changed, I felt almost sick. The person passed me and it wasn't my ex bf. I couldn't calm inside for another few minutes. I saw that the person I was standing and talking with noticed that there is something wrong.
    I do believe that situation like that happen for a reason. Its like a catalyst to heal. I don't wanna feel like that all my life and I know there is only one way to get out of this cesspit.

    This is exactly where I am right now, even more so after confronting the 4 decades of abuse. I can see clear multigenerational transmissions, stretching back 130 years and, no doubt it goes back much further. I can see why it used to be called a Family CURSE! I have been through the hell realms and have some ways to go. It has been utterly brutal. I have spent my life with a target on my back and what my family did and is currently doing is beyond belief which is a huge issue itself! My 'mother' is quite simply the most sadistic and manipulative creature I have ever met but I only realised the depth of her malignancy, two years ago, after I gave up work to look after her full time. Then she set to work with my sister and her psychopathic partner, to drive me to suicide. She very very nearly achieved her goal!!! I came across a book, six months before I was thrown on the street during my step daughter's crisis, where her life was in jeopardy and then they terrorised me. I am now in supported living which is horrendous. Codendants and predators under one roof. Predators 'smell' me, like files. Because my subconscious has hemorrhaged with a new malignant, contextual framework, I have had, for first time, early childhood memories and they are not good at all. I am about to communicate with a shaman from 'plantconsciousness.com' as a preliminary 'cord cutting' and debris clearing and from there, I will be going to a Iboga counsellor to try and 're-set'. I trained as a counsellor myself but my pain body is materialising in my fibromyalgia, every day is painful, in many ways. I have been a HATE bucket for three generations of my 'cult members'. How I'm still here is simply miraculous! 30 years of crippling depression because they con-vinced me I was faulty. Psychopathy 101. I am utterly broken & my 'leathered' Soul vibrates like a nuclear reactor. I have had to deliberately 'indulge' my tyrannical superego due to the fact of the Covert narcissistic abuse. So much of my memory is blank, I have had to retrieve enough to establish some continuity where before there was none. I feel fragile & fed upon but things are changing and my faith tested once more. I have lost almost everything,over & over but what I do have now, is the TRUTH! Thank G_d.. Only one friend has stayed the coarse but you can see in people faces when I start talking, 'he's insane'.. Thank heavens for the 'Narc' community, for the education, confirmation & the 'Light' that guides me through the corridors of suffering.. May this find you well. Kind regards Vincent

    This is a brilliant video. I have participated in one of Melanie's weekend workshops and it triggered off something very positive inside of me that released the floodgates of my own creativity through artwork and sketching. I have been trying for decades to shake off the narcissistic abusers of my childhood and even after their respective deaths there was no relief from the endless droning of their criticism and negativity inside my head. This year 2020 I have had enough realising just how vampiric narcissists are; they literally suck the life out of you and are chronically self-obsessed. You deserve to heal from this abuse; Melanie talks about a soul war and in my experience it is exactly that! Fight for yourself, seek inner validation and don't be defined at all by other's opinions. The best of luck to everyone here.

    Hi Melanie, what I experienced for two years after having broken up with my narcissist boyfriend was anger and resentment towards him but probably more towards myself. Angry at myself for having been so stupid, gullible, etc. I couldn't get past this!! I thought I was over it but when people would ask me about my past and I would talk about it, they would say to me, "Monica, you're not over him/it". And they were right. It wasn't until I luckily stumbled across one of your TH-cam videos that I realized I wasn't healed and that this was normal after the "torture" of having been in a relationship with a narcissist. I was deeply traumatized. Traumatized at a soul level. My way of trying to feel better was exercise, food and shopping. I knew they would only make me feel worse in the long-term (well, except for the exercise) but I needed something to help me feel better even if only temporarily and nothing else worked. Until now. I can't tell you how far I've come in such a short time (less than 3 mos) because of your program. You get it. In this video, you again hit the nail on the head and it helps the rest of us to know what we are feeling and going through is what just about every victim of narcissistic abuse goes through. And that there is hope! I have never posted comments on anything online and yet now I feel compelled and find it cathartic. Thank you Melanie!

    Yes for 5 years. I need to forgive this person and really move on. I was completely dependent on N and he discarded me without looking back after 16 years. Devastated me!!! I still can’t believe his Oscar winning performance for all those years. I Have NARP but find it so hard to keep up because of the time it takes in each module. We definitely suffered at a level of soul and no one really really gets it unless they have been through this. He left me 5 years ago physically but I feel like he still lives in my being everyday. I have not been able to move on at all. N moved on with his new supply as if I never existed and I’m still living in the nightmare of the memory of the illusion. I thought for years that I was the Narc because for years I was adapting to the the N. I was numb unhappy and didn’t know why.

    I've only been NC for 17 days! I'm so scared to go to sleep at night because I know waking up in the morning with anxiety and crying is almost unbearable. I never dreamed it would be this bad. I would never do anything stupid but I wish I was dead. Anytime we split up I would have such anxiety but never this bad, but anytime we got back together I would feel calm and cling to him even though me standing up for myself and my boundaries is what caused the smear campaign. Even though he would mock me when I felt ANXIOUS. OF COURSE he was ONLY JOKING. Even though anytime I was anxious or depressed he was depressed but bouncing about like trigger laughing and joking. Pretty much his whole family are toxic. It's like he was causing me all this pain but I needed him. Now i know why Narcissistic Abuse Victim Syndrome is likened to that of Stockholm Syndrome. My MS is bad just now but I'm using medication for my anxiety more than anything else and I'm so tired at night but I push myself to stay awake just so it's longer before I have to wake up. 7am I went to bed the other morning. I see a psychiatrist for adhd but she completely ignores my anxiety and I also have Rejection Sensory Dysphoria. I'm at my wits end.

    I love your videos! What gets me is that I can see a lot of the behavior of the narcissist within me...but not in the narcissist! I know it's there when they have twisted all my words around and I feel like I'm lying on the floor in tatters (not really, but I sure feel it!) and the narcissist just walks away, unscathed. Ant that point I can't even tell whose problem it is anymore.

      Hi Christina, it is so common to feel like that for a while. I think we all pretty much did! I promise you, as you heal and emerge you will feel more clear, empowered and sane than you have in your entire life. That is the gift in this journey! Bless! xoxox

    It feels like their claws are in my soul still needing me and i’m trying to push them away from me and they are drowning and trying to drowned me with them. I don’t want to drowned but they can’t see that they can swim, so they accept drowning and want me to drown with them too, while they frantically try to climb up me to save themselves in panic and i feel conflicted, i want to let them go to save myself but part of me would rather drowned so they don’t have to, but i would rather not drowned at all.

      Great analogy Eboney!! If you would like to find out How to put your own oxygen mask on first and let the narc take responsibility for their own lives and you for yours, I can show you. I would love to you to join me in my free webinar where I take you through two healings that allow you to release some of the trauma trapped (wounds and beliefs) in your body and bring you back to you xoxox www.melanietoniaevans.com/freewebinar

      I know exactly that feeling of drowning. Being pulled under and growing weaker. Unable to breathe. It’s a heck of a battle to get to the surface. So depleted and unlike myself. Far better now although also coping with bereavement.

    I think that every narc experience added up especially the covert one I married in 2006 sent me into a depression fog. I feel with therapy I was bandaged up and loaded up with info and love, But not healed.

    • @MelanieToniaEvans
      @MelanieToniaEvans  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Michelle that is sadly the case, generally until we get the trauma out of our bodies. Have you come into one of my free webinars yet to experience this? www.melanietoniaevans.com/freewebinar xoxox

    I think I got away from them in time (two weeks), but, I was reeling for several weeks. Now, my work is taking over my mind, but, I'm still going to study so I know how to handle them when I see them again.

  • @tiggywinkle5933

    5 months no contact and it still feels as raw, difficult and heartbreaking as the day I finally walked away and deleted and blocked him from my life. I feel as you said, permanently damaged, as though I will carry this pain, confusion, emptiness and exhaustion around with me for the rest of my life. I am broken. I think of him and his other women constantly and it kills me.

    Yes ma’am ! I’m trying to get away from the narcs in my life , that I’m unfortunately living with. But even with past narcs it’s like you’re still living with them. However- I’m looking to thrive with the help of your wonderful modules and community. When I’m thinking of that , then I’m not thinking of them

    I’m away from the narc for almost 3 years, but the hardcore abuse of 4 years makes it feel as though I’ve been alone for 7 years.
    My triggers still occur now although they are less. I don’t feel as though I will ever truly trust again and my triggers make my patience low. I do not feel as though I’ve begun to heal, truly but I want to move forward and be free so much.

    Yes it does, I liken it to a tap someone screws into a maple tree to extract maple syrup. It is efficient, quick, and devastating quite like the narcissist. They have this part of their sick art down to a T. I struggle with trying to shut my mind off of this. Because it haunts me over and over again, struggling with negative emotions, feeling violated used marked cheapened and extremely unsafe in my environment and those around me.
