I really like your videos, I have began to understand the dynamics of my family. My family of origin is complicated. Father was grandiose narcissist , mother was vulnerable narcissist, older sister was grandiose narcissist. This was my normal for many years. Now realizing that is eye opening. Father passed away years ago. Mom aging now 92 years, sister 76, sister with dementia now. I am left to care for them. I would like more videos on family rather than relationships. There is much information about relationships. Information about multiple family members who have narcissistic traits would be helpful.

Hello Darren Magee. Cptsd & ASD appear to have quite a few similarities. Having both together...... Over-sensory overload! 😣 Aspergers from the Inside (Paul) has great observations for self care strategies, translatable to CPTSD. Neuro-divergent people often have experience with narcissistic abuse also. An interesting & very diverse topic, for your consideration. Thank you.

‘our brains don’t like things that don’t make sense’ - so true - recovery is very much the path from chaos and confusion to clarity and choice. Would love to see your suggested video on post-traumatic growth - solutions and successful outcomes are so strengthening.

Well, I had it and am recovered enough to try ( I only got one hour into a 24 hour drive & my transmission blew. I am stranded for a bit at the moment) to go back to where it all happened. I was extremely sick. I had EXACTLY the symptoms you mention & had to live with my dog in the woods for 5 years. I have narcissist parents & had to marry the kid my parents chose when I was 18. He became an alcoholic 2 years later. Many other completely bizarre events happened to me without me having any support system. This illness is awful. I am creating a support system of other women in order to not get this illness again. Thanks so much for your videos!

I like how you always give good examples of what something is and how it manifests

Thank you for this video! Everyone should be aware of this problem. Are you planning a video covering Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD)? Unfortunately, many of us are involved...

Could you possibly do a video covering pediatric PTSD and complex pediatric PTSD? Pediatric mental health information is harder to find. Your information has been fantastic and presented well. Thank you.

That’s an awesome request. Pediatric trauma is unbelievably common today.

That would be very interresting to have a video about the post-traumatic growth. It seems, to me, that I find myself more mature, less naïve about the world, but also calmer... After I went throught hell, every other kind of problem seems like a deflated ballon. I accepted more what I cannot control and started to keep my focus on what I can do. I also changed how I talk to myself. All that seems worth mentionning and ironically...worth living!

Thank you

Thank you for this insightful video. I had to smile when you mentioned EMDR; a few years ago, I contacted a psychotherapist whom I'd known years before for some minor advice, but this time, I had been going through something major. She suggested she'd do EMDR, something with a finger in front of my eyes, and I thought she had gone nuts (lol). That method though, did such an amazing job in little time, and it actually made it possible to talk and elaborate the trauma in a more detached manner. Fascinating!

With my psychopathic "mother" I had Tschernobyl at home each and every day. Many best regards☘️💎✨🌺🌞⚓!!

Same here. Psychopathic, abusive, controlling dad, and a narcissistic mother. Everyday was fearful.

Wow..I never knew I had PTSD since last leaving a place I rented where family was domestic violence situation situation and I was caught in the middle. I'm healing now after I left almost a year ago. I think I had PTSD for years apart from this situation situation in what I experienced last decade 😅. Thanks God I'm getting better once I got my new home 🏡

Dr Magee, your videos have been so helpful! Can you pls do a video on trusting and loving again after a narcissistic marriage/relationship? It feels like the more i educate myself on this behavior the more i see it everywhere. I can't tell if someone is doing something innocently or being manipulative.... Thanx in advance

I just love your videos, thank you Darren! Can you do a video on your opinion of 12 step groups?

it is a true trauma. I have. stress issues from work and did not know was under high stress until my body gave out. iam retired after working for 25 years and iam doing OK. I got to stay awY from stress. stress is the lower form of pstd. pstd is when the situation is really bad.

Thank you Sir for your videos!So helpful, so insightful, yet put into the simple words! ❤️

Please do a video on PTG. I came out of an abusive relationship and didn't think I had any kind of PTSD due to the way I dealt with the aftermath, and only just realized that it could very well be PTG and what I thought I had healed from...well wasn't.

Your content is very helpful and resonating. Many thanks!💕 Is it possible to give some success stories of treatment of PTSD or further info in general.

Great explaination. Thanks!

C-PTSD dating back to pre-verbal physical memories uncovered via EMDR and a healthy dose of trauma attachment. How does a person born into and raised through trauma learn normal healthy human emotional interaction? In other words, if your raised by wolves, how do you learn to relate to and understand humans decades later?

that's really a modem term social media invented to describe a series of events, such as an abusive home. PTSD itself encompasses "CPTSD" though. It's like saying " mini dwarf". Young people today feel they need to add words and phrases to include an explanation on the diagnosis. But it's really not different.

Thank you very helpful in understanding these things

I was told by a nurse I was suffering from PTSD and she told me to go and get help for it after I had the health issue resolved that I was seeing her for. I've told my GP and he's put me in touch with NHS but all they've done is suggest I have extreme anxiety. I've been in touch again for help with a panic attack and told him I want my PTSD "formally diagnosed" but he didn't refer me to anyone. After doing a lot of my own research I believe the nurse is correct but it seems like my GP and NHS are reluctant to look into it being PTSD (save for a quick questionnaire). I get the feeling that they don't believe it is something you can suffer from due to workplace bullying (but the nurse said you can) so they are reluctant to help me get it diagnosed. Do you know if there are any avenues to getting to see someone besides going through a GP? Obviously I wish I didn't have it but if I have I'd at least like to have it confirmed so I can deal with it better.

Occupational health?

@@nithaphilip544 As work eventually acknowledged, Occupational Health is inadequate for dealing with the effects of PTSD (and autistic burnout, which is what I have been diagnosed with suffering from now - it's a post traumatic stress response). The last time I spoke to them they actually listened instead of just trying to shout me down and then said the usual occ health wouldn't be good enough they'd have to use another service they have access too, which is what I was telling them over a year ago, hence why I ended up telling them I'm seeking help myself for my health problems.

Yeah, I definitely have ptsd

With me, children screetching really triggers me.

How about CPTSD?

ptsd is manifest has being in extreme bad situation. my daughter has part after being Ina bad relationship and a abusive situation.

Well crud, my brain still can't tell between cartoon and reality. Add projective identification to the mix and you're now talking to someone who identifies with cartoon characters, because they are a beautiful fiction and I am an ugly truth. Now my self-hatred and envy have gone full-bore, and I want to be one.

Now get over it, the PTSD is a crypto narcissist! Perhaps video material? We focus on them, but did we forget what their everlasting fidgetting creates around them, and their tendency to binary 'flashes' in the fact(s) of the matter thats cryptonarcissim... (just my point of view)

Hi dude, great videos!! what about CBD Oil ? Have you heard much? Or CBD / THC 10:1 ratio? I’m currently just trying 10:1 … 10 ofCBD to a low 1 of THC. It seems helpful (more so In very low doses 10mg CBD / 1mg THC oil twice per day) CBD on the other hand helps a little at 50 - 70mg per day ! Especially with absent seizures!
