Yes, it's exhausting 😢 . I'm soooo tired of it.😭

My mind and body split all the time

You are so amazing! Wow!! You’ve saved my life Michele. I am so grateful for this information and validation. I just recently discovered you. It is SO amazing that there IS a name for this abuse and how the characteristics of these people are similar across the board. I can’t thank you enough for sharing your insights and wisdom!

Great video 💕

Thank you so much for this usefull information and understanding. You helped me already so much about all this trauma responses. Exactly like you described with toxic people...my brain says: it is enough, but my body isn't! Finally I understand through your explanation what happens.

I'm so glad!

about what you said about the mind knowing what to do but the body not responding, as a typical fearful-avoidant attached/freeze-fawn trauma response (it is genuinely mind blowing how they're all distinctive classifications that define those same issues) I struggle a lot with showing up for myself and setting boundaries, and of course I am in a relationship with a recovering narcissist. So, after an awful fight, I retreat and isolate for weeks and then reached him out to start a conversation about healthy boundaries. I certainly was anxious all day bc of it and when the night came, I went there, sit on the couch, and as I was speaking my whole body started to shake violently and uncontrollably, I was terrified, I felt like I just killed somebody and my body was in shock. Looking back it was funny, but it's actually not funny bc I couldn't make to end my statement and I had to call an uber and leave bc I was sooo triggered, my nervous system totally out of control and It took several days to go back to a more grounded state. So weird tho.

Yes, it’s like taking a job where you have all of the responsibility but none of the authority. Like being a pharmacist. Like being in the military. It sucks.

Thank you for explaining this.. was just talking to a counselor about feeling held back and not knowing how to correct this.

I'm doing this work, cause if I dont I'm going to die. Waking up with IBS this morning that's so bad , it feels like my stomach is going to explode whilst being on fire. . . .not fun at all. 🙏🏻😖🤦🏼‍♂️

Yes - this work is soo important. If we don't do it - it doesn't just affect us emotionally but physically as well.

Being seen means danger. So you end up playing dead emotionally, and socially with the unsafe people in your life. Then it's hard to come alive with safe people and safe environments.

Is there any video about how we fix that?
