I spent those years begging for help, feeling alone and abandoned. I had no idea the help I actually needed was the thing I was most afraid of. Full article via link in bio 🔗

In case you were wondering ✌️ Also PSA you’re not alone 🫂

Does anyone speak raven? 🐦‍⬛ “We do not act from what we know, we act from the baseline level of stress in our nervous system.” Before trying to solve your “problem,” you need to give your body an experience of safety so that you can actually access the part of your brain that holds the answer ♥️…

It’s ok to take a break from the healing “work.” Sometimes we end up unintentionally flooding our system with traumatic memories making our body think we’re still back in time when it was happening. Taking a “break” means doing something to show your system that you’re here now. That you’re safe…

If the “good” moments require you to pretend like the harmful moments never happened, those moments are not “good”—they are complicit in the harm. #narcissisticabuserecovery #emotionalsafety #cptsd

“What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” - Mary Oliver Leaving can feel impossible. The aftermath can seem more devastating than the abuse itself. But the life you are here to live is the one outside of the cage of hell the relationship has trapped you in. And it gets…

Stay safe out there friends 💗 Today’s reminders: - Your story matters - You are not alone - No one is entitled to your body - True consent requires safety to say no #consent #coercivecontrol #saawareness #healthyrelationships

The emotionally mature, safe, and healthy way to handle rejection ❤️ #consent #coercivecontrol #saawareness #healthyrelationships

Each of us knows whether or not we feel safe in any given situation. If someone is trying to argue with you over that, they’re not interested in understanding. They’re focused on their agenda. #consent #coercivecontrol #saawareness #narcissisticabuse

If they’re asking you why you didn’t just leave, they’ve never experienced the coercive control and psychological entrapment that exists in abusive relationships. They’re asking because like me, they believe it could never happen to them. If you understand this, I’m so sorry you’ve been through…

You should always feel safe to say no ❤️ #consent #saawareness #narcisssisticabuserecovery

The consent song 🎵 Do we get it now? #consent #saawareness #BelieveSurvivors #narcisssisticabuserecovery

This one is for everyone: True “yes” for consent can only exist when you feel safe to say “no.” #consent #saawareness #BelieveSurvivors

**This post is for “men who truly want to know if they have the full consent from the woman they are having sex with”** If you are angry with what I am saying this clearly does not apply to you. This is not a legal list. This is explaining the safety required for someone to give their true, full…

Save this to use when you need help to function ❤️ #nervoussystemregulation #somatichealing #narcisssisticabuserecovery

“Why didn’t you say something if it happened?” Because it never felt safe to. It still doesn’t. #BelieveSurvivors #SAAwareness #narcisssisticabuserecovery

If you are not pressing charges or naming names you do not have to provide evidence that “it happened.” Many people will not believe you. Let them. That is not your burden to carry and you do not owe them anything. Many people will. Likely because they know the pain of violation themselves. I…

It’s time to Stop. Blaming. The. Victim. If you did not feel safe to say no. If you felt pressured to comply. If you were too intoxicated/impaired to freely and knowingly consent. If there was literally ANY situation other than you truly wanting to consent throughout the entire process. Then it…

5 questions to ask yourself if you want to know if your relationship is healthy 💗 #healthyrelationship #relationshipadvice #narcissisticrelationship

Just because someone is aware of the emotional experience of another, does NOT mean they have emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence involves our ability to both self-regulate AND have empathy for another person’s experience. Having awareness without empathy is what I call “emotional…

You don’t have to have been abused before to end up in an abusive relationship. If you identify as an “Empath” you likely have high prosocial personality traits of agreeableness and conscientiousness. The very traits narcissistic abusers are known to prey on (Sandra Brown/Perdue clinical study)…
