RICHARD GANNION; I wish more counselors, therapist, psychologist would get on board with what your teaching. I have two adult son's and see many young adults struggling with all these internal and external conflicts of negative self talk. Pyschiatrist's treat them as if there's a magic pill and it all goes away without helping them to overcome traumatic events, and that's frustrating. The hard part is those challenged with CTPTSD, have to be willing to participate and many need the assistance to move forward to improve their own lives. I'm very impressed with your informative videos of self improvement of HEALING ONE'S SELF😊👍🤗I really need help to get my son's on board to work your methods. Please Help?

[@parrotshootist3004]

16:38 ish - not recognising your belief, content of your journal. Do the Journals by hand. Count the numbers of differing hand writing styles. Some things may follow specific types of dysregulation. Something I noticed sometime ago. I can go through differing hand writing styles in one session, sometimes using mostly one other than at the bottom of a page etc. A somatic method of interacting with the 'hidden self' use a bit of string with a weight on it, and let hang from your outstreched arm. If you haven't over done sensitive hands/touch training in MA, then it shouldn't overly feel like you are consciously affecting the direction of spin, or other movements which can represent no, yes, maybe etc.

100% agree with you! Understanding yourself is such a basic necessity and when we’ve lived for decades without having that, it’s soul destroying. Finding a good psychotherapist alerted me to the existence of CPTSD and now it’s like my whole world has opened up and it’s given me the most overwhelming relief. I hope you are well on your road to thriving now ☺️

There is a definite line between accepting your emotions and giving yourself license to have emotions, the difference being something like styling your hair in a mirror and styling your hair in a tornado during a blackout. Without over sharing i would like to impress gratitude with enthusiasm for these videos. They are CONFIRMING what I am seeing as an evolution of healing within myself in real time. Thank you for the work you do.

[@jessieessex]

Francie Odendahl That could be the case, but there are so many reasons why people would lie, I don’t think it is always to fit in. It could be because they are afraid of getting in trouble, be it real or perceived trouble. Also there is a potential of being labeled insane and forced out of a position and possibly into institutional situations. This healing though I think is focusing on the fact that there is an emotion and then somehow coming to terms with it within yourself and not so much in just expressing them and releasing them, it is about understanding that you have an emotional reaction and that you don’t have to let it get the best of you while still having the emotion.

When I had a sudden realization that “I am not special” I was able to start healing. I used to think I was especially bad, deserving of pain, but now I feel I am just a regular human, no more deserving of ANYTHING than any other human being. The I figured out “I am not broken in need of fixing, I am hurt and in need of healing”

[@ebenham1713]

I did years of an er model that my therapist set up, every time I felt an emotion, I would go to this model and it had a thing to do to bring my mood back up. Years of doing this had made me automatically fall into flight mode and only now that I'm doing the emotional literacy work, I have realized that this has stunted me. Although my therapist thought they were helping, they actualy made my pain worse.

[@Omarra67]

I think it's great that you recognize strengths and weaknesses and work with those. It's brilliant in its simplistic way. Society as a whole could do this more and turn out better people.

[@askyeshka726]

And how impossible! You can't stop feeling what you feel. Fell what you feel and find human connection that validates you, your feelings, your identity and those who want what is best for you. Telling you to stop feeling is not helpful. For God's sake if we could stop the pain and suffering we sure as hell would! We need validative connection with those who get us. Huggles

Thank you so much, Richard. I spent so many years drinking and having flashbacks of my childhood. I didn't understand why. My husband would say, "it's over, get over it", and I couldn't explain or even understand why I was doing that.

[@GreenHealing]

Richard, I am very fulfilled now. Thank you :) I realised I used to be emotionally illiterate, and I'm not sure how I became more literate, but it sort of happened slowly over time. I called it being numb from intense emotions. Then I met my husband and I started feeling again, true emotions and we both learnt NVC together, so we both became more emotionally literate through the course of developing our relationship, before the symptoms I had got worse. I ahve so few symptoms now, but all this info truly helps a great deal. Thank you so much.

[@8thhousealchemist600]

So true about being able to handle most stressful situations that the average person can't, yet I completely fall apart over a scowl from a stranger or someone slamming a cabinet door. A phone call from my Mom would paralyze me in a state of fear and anxiety to the point of being physically ill for a week. If someone rings the door bell and they are not expected, I hide until they're gone. People don't get it and end up not trusting who I am.

[@colettebloom1250]

Thank you dear Richard Grannon for being such a great help, for clarifying the roles, with acuity: Super ego, ego and id. And bringing your expertise and insights to help self soothe and re-programme, inner critic. You most certainly are teaching us to equip ourselves in our aim toward self healing, and making strides forward in defending ourselves against inner critic. It is self empowering which is crucial antidote to a depressed state or sense of disempowerment and hopelessness, immobility or stasis. You give it your all to viewers here and no doubt in all your life's work. It is energy input that is most valued and not lost on the viewer and you do it with genuine passion. With sincerest and deepest gratitude and appreciation. Thank you. . God bless.

[@monaami555]

Ok I did the course. Finished about a month ago. It felt very validating at first, but then very boring. I thought it did not really do anything but just wanted to finish it. I think I did not even put my normal 150% effort, more like 60% (as instructed, not to "kill" myself over it). But now, after about a month from it, I do notice some differences... and since Richard stressed out that if this happens I should not brush it off but give him the credit, here it goes :D The end effect is that I have started to think more like what I saw most people around me think like, which is also what I used to actually hate. I saw it as animalistic and selfish. Yet I did start to care about my own interest and stopped dwelling about many things that do not directly impact me. I think that sentence "there is no objective authority to tell you otherwise" really sank into my subconsciousness. Sometimes I get parts of the audios replied in my head spontaneously, during the course of the day. I feel a bit like a prisoner who escaped and changed their looks, and yet has to make sure from time to time that no one is recognizing him. The new mindset definitely removes huge amount of weight from my shoulders, but in the back of my mind I still have a silent voice saying "are you sure you are not becoming a bad person?". On the other hand, nothing that I am now doing differently would be called "bad" by anyone I know. What strikes me the most is that all this change was only a matter of decision. I thought I had some deficiencies, was not strong enough, not this or that enough, but it was only about mind shift. Like in that elephant story. Really interesting :)

[@khatunsmusic8143]

Honestly.... bless you! I hope this actually helps b/c it isn’t ok or acceptable to me that there is NO HOPE for people with narcissistic CPTSDR . These people aren’t going away! They are in our families and in positions of power, they are lawmakers and teachers and mothers etc. Walking away and ignoring the problem is only a temporary solution b/c walk away from one and there will still be a handful of others that affect ALL of our lives. We are a symbiotic ecosystem. Ignoring the problem will not make it go away so it’s just unsustainable to not find ways to heal this issue. One person with this issue will easily create others that have it as well. They’re acting like an autoimmune disorder on the collective. THANK YOU for sharing this. Truly. I hope so much that it helps!

Ugh, god. Dammit. Emotional intimacy is a huge trigger for me in romantic relationships, I can feel myself splitting and it really keeps me from being authentic in those moments. I hate it :( I wall myself off and its painful. I end up getting cheated on a lot, maybe because I have this massive emotional barrier.

[@susanparamore9957]

Me too. Looking back at the history of my dating/married life, I am hugely disconnected emotionally. I'm trying to be better. I'm trying to get better. I WANT to be better! I'll get there. It isn't comfy, but I know at the end, I'll be better. Better as a child, as a parent, better as a person.

I'm new to learning about all of this (co-dependency/cptsd), but feel it applies to me and my struggles, but I wanted to ask you, how do you know you are splitting or putting your wall up?

[@AugustAdvice]

@@amyb7823 To me it feels like I start projecting a false self to the person I'm with, while my "real self" goes and hides in a closet in my mind. Its like I have a false personality that comes out - this false personality is way more agreeable than my true self, lacks boundaries, walks on eggshells, makes sure the other person is happy regardless of how I feel, laughs off uncomfortable questions, or fawns. So in relationships, the man falls in love with the false personality instead of my real self.

[@iamasoldierofgodkingofking1244]

I am able to connect emotionally. BUT, when I am hurt I shut completely down and I immediately start planning a life without them in it. I don't want to be this. People deserve love and forgiveness and understanding. I have been faking that I don't feel it to the person to try not to hurt them. But in my head, you are no longer trustworthy and I won't let you in again. God help us in Jesus name Amen.

[@nickpayne4724]

Today is my birthday and im feeling quite sad and disregulated (also made worse by a migraine after junk food last night), and i have been seeking some rays of hope and safety as I'm struggling so much with cptsd and how it has affected what seems like every aspect of my life. This video was in the sidebar and i decided to give it a check. I am so relieved. I was just trying to do some light qi gong stretches and motions to try to regulate and feel safe and also help my migraine. Then i found this video and you happened to mention your past in martial arts. It makes so much sense. I was lucky to have a connection to martial arts as a child and i have always been very intensely proprioceptive (too much probably in some ways not enough in others hence trauma and disregulation). But the many lessons of the arts can be applied to healing and embodiment in some ways. I really love the clear way you express ideas of reparenting and the inner child. I have had amazing success with meditation techniques involving these. I never anticipated that such positive and clear prognosis and tools were available, and imagined my life as an odyssey to reach what you describe as attainable maybe only on my deathbed. I couldn't have asked for a better gift on this day.

[@TanyaKatherine]

"My Need" vs "Your Need" YES! I have trauma with sharing food. Every time I leave my room to go eat lunch, my Parent will come out of their room and hear me walking down the stairs and start talking to me, and I will warm up my food, and they will say "Mmm...that looks good" and get closer to my plate. And then I will start to have PTSD flashbacks and start flinching, and start wanting to cry...they will come closer with their fork and start eating the food I made for myself. and I am 27 years old. Once my parent asked "Can I have some of that? That looks good" when I was all ready to eat my plate that I made for myself and I said "NO!" and looked them right in the eye. And they walked away so sad and made me feel so guilty. I cannot face that guilt again so I will avoid eating and then binge eat when everyone is asleep to avoid that parent trying to eat all my food that I put my time and energy into making.

[@TanyaKatherine]

To make matters even worse, my parent never buys food for the house, so there is never enough food. I am in huge debt from doing a career they suggested I take on, so now I have no job and I am just living at the mercy of my parent. So we have very little food because they refuse to buy enough food for our household, and yet when I DO find something to eat, THEY will eat it all on me. I have major eating disoderds because of this and again, I am in my late twenties living at home. I cannot move out because of my debt that I have incurred by listening to my parent and trying to please my parent getting this corrupt career that was a scam.

[@ErizonMacani]

I validate and hear your bad experiences, if I were there I would not let them take your food, in the same way you would likely defend another person from this violation. Be mindful though that your energy/focus is limited, and make sure to leave enough time to focusing on yourself/solutions rather then your family/problems.

Damn...I feel like Richard got it more than anyone I have seen. I had to start with softer touch videos before I could tolerate Richard's delivery but Richard's video is what I need right now. I am strong enough to see myself as emotionally stunted. that feels horrible when you have a narc bad parent recording.

[@fredworthmn]

"Critical" is a loaded word with two meanings and I always go to the first one. Critical Parent means the vicious way my parents would attack me, criticizing me with every chance they got in the meanest way they could. Critical thinking is a wonderful tool to be able to see things correctly instead of jumping to wrong conclusions or following something which isn't true. I have always viewed critical thinking with terror because of the word critical. My epiphany is that I have stayed away from critical thinking because of my fear that I will be criticized, and not in the good definition of the term. To be criticized, to me, is a life ending threat. For me to criticize another usually invites them to attack me in what they consider self-defense. For me the use of the word critical is a lose lose situation. My "critical" solution has been to assume that every situation is an attempt to con me in some way and to immediately decline to participate in whatever is happening. Maybe I can change that now that I am becoming more aware of it. Maybe in your 3rd video.

[@askyeshka726]

I would replace the term critical thinking with cognitive reasoning . When you apply cognitive reasoning you remove emotion and think objectively. I have found when things do not make sense then a manipulator is somewhere in the mix.

[@Misslotusification]

9:39: State management: Not taking good physical care --using narcotics, eating poorly, sleeping bad, drinking too much, not exercising, bad posture (slouching or sitting all day long), superficial breathing, and being generally in bad physical condition make people way more vulnerable to inner-critics and emotional flashbacks. Those make them feel bad about themselves and the world, they do negative things because they focus on negative things (downward spiral) so they produce a lot more chaos and shit for themselves and the world but when it comes back they say: "See, the world is a shitty place and I am a shitty person" and it becomes like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Why do we do it? We can take the decision to change our ways of living. Commit and recommit until it works.

[@TanyaKatherine]

This makes so much sense why I would have crushes on older men again and again and again. I was always looking for a good parent to replace the bad parent inside my head...to give me approval so I could be in balance with my inner child. Each of my crushes starting at age 18 were older men, then I met my boyfriend at age 22 while we both met through liking the same band member (who was an older man) but then the abuse living at home still continued while I dated my boyfriend and I started to have crushes on another older man at age 24, and then at age 25 the most recent crush, who I have in the back of my mind cheering me on throughout any obstacle to help me keep on going. All of these men represent my inner "bad parent" who I crave their attention and approval/validation to lead me to that paradise of peace

BRILLENT! I'm writing my second book on PTSD but focusing on complex/ Co-morbid you're delivery is great. Thank You.

[@PS-dg4mu]

Thank you So much. I need to implement these strategies in my life. it's funny I took up Muay Thai, also wanting to take up Psychology and experiencing CPTSD. It all ties up together fiercely.

Ok, so a couple of "aha" moments and a couple of panic attacks.....🤦‍♀️

[@iamasoldierofgodkingofking1244]

I had a sense of dread.. And then as I thought about me as a little girl I had a moment of sheer terror and then it got stuffed down and I couldn't feel anything for a while. It scared me to feel myself shut down. What did those people do to me? God bless us all and protect us and give us strength and courage and peace of mind in Jesus name Amen

I remember random 'waking up' episodes during childhood where I'd suddenly come 'back into consciousness' ... Example: I was 'suddenly' standing in a classroom entrance and I couldn't remember how I'd gotten there. My very early childhood was marked with many of these episodes when I would 'wake up' to find myself in some kind of time-out for something which I couldn't remember doing, with the adults seeming very perplexed. I wish I knew what had happened during these blackouts.

I am probably a 10 on the scale because of intense childhood physical and mental trauma followed by MST in the American military, followed by several severely physically and mentally abusive relationships. This has gone on to the point where I don't want to date ever again and have paired down my social circle to a very few people who haven't intentionally hurt me. The statement that I would need to do this with a coach or therapist due to the severity of my CPTSD was a little disheartening, because I do not have access to a proper therapist at present. I am going to do the work the best I can on my own though. I don't have a good track record of being gentle with myself, but I'll try. Thanks again.

[@n.c.6211]

Exactly!!! DID-like! 💛 thank you so much for what you do

[@dutchman6533]

Richard I think you are right on!

Nice overview, thank you as always! Greetings from Sophia :)

[@EllenDScott]

Thank you so so so much for publicizing that we feel like we aren't allowed to feel "hungry, angry, sleepy etc." When that is learned from age 0-6, that's how we really feel! and we believe it!!!! and people wonder why we're a little off. Hell I had a doc tell me I was faking
