I keep being shamed as an adult. I work hard at being authentic, putting myself out there, vulnerable, yet continue to be shamed. 😢💔

[@user-bn2st5kx8h]

Yeah...you know what..? As someone who couldn't lie,at one point it was brought to my awareness by a narc that "everyone lies..you are at least lying to yourself" After that I made an extra effort to introspect b4 talking to express exactly what I feel. It didn't go well.Not only my authenticity was used against me but I couldn't not notice that many ppl simply prefer lies and its the only way to deflate the discontent of narcissists.they d rather have you lie and pretend, coz they simply don't like the truth you are offering.sad but true

[@maritrnning5357]

Wow this man really knows what he is talking about!!

[@ReneeMichellercvGrace2]

I think it's important to know that this sickness really can eventually manifest itself in not just mental but real physical ailments. The last thing survivors need is more shame for having real physical issues too. Not playing victim. REAL.

[@shadowfax9177]

Absolutely. This is happening to me. Real physical ailments from being a perfectionist, people pleaser. I'm completely burnt out.

[@haliec496]

4 years ago, a mental health crisis kicked my ass into reality. Since then I've stopped alcohol, cigarettes, Sugar & unhealthy foods. My body was so broken. I am still finding my way back. I do isolate more now but I find it good for my mental health atm, that might change as I continue to heal. For now Im good.

[@shadowfax9177]

Same here. For me now that my mental issues have created physical issues, I just don't have the energy to socialize.

As an avoidant I can say that it is possibly the perfect response mechanism. You just have to be okay being with yourself.

[@bebaaskaful]

You explain it so deep. Shame is the reason for having BPD. I know that many people doing treatment for BPD are saying that there is genetic predispositon or something in biology, but it is a feeling of deep shame and disgust and anger to youreself. It is a deep fear from being abondent and pain and grief that comes up feeling so lonley. And it hurts much. It drives so much of bad behaviours that noone who doesnt have that personality cant imagine. Amd anything that you do isnt good enough. Compensation after compensation. If someone asks about my familly, I was introvert scred child brought up by narcisoid mother, BPD father, older sibling with agressive type of BPD. So much insecurity, never secure, never liberation of the pain. Thank you for understanding all of us.

[@lgbeauchamp8735]

This is seriously an eye opener 😳 l! I've been soul searching trying to help my monkey mind. Unfortunately to no avail. I have studied many many many different avenues. To my dismay back to monkey mind! Now you have truly given me something tangible to work with. Finally! You are my role model. Iam a 60 year old veteran with a traumatic brain injury and also diagnosed with CPTSD. The mental health system in the 🇺🇸 IS A BROKEN TRAVISTY! I'm so weak and tired. My psychiatrist told me last week to add vitamin D to my list of medications, a 3 minute conversation every 3 MONTHS! I'm truly about to topple over. Although I feel hopeless you have added a sliver of hope for my tattered soul and for that Sir I thank 🙏 you!

Monkey mind is evil and unfortunately my constant companion and due to fear of abandonment, everyone in my family has abandoned me. Strangely and even though not my fav, I’ve recently discovered that working on a puzzle 🧩, actually shuts that beast up. 👊🏼

[@reneemoore6249]

I left my mother's house yesterday with a pile of shame. I couldn't wait to get out of there. She can't see how she affects others. I've been working on this so long. She will not admit her part. I think abandoning her is bad. But she is so negative and in denial. Im very wounded from her. But I want her to get well.

I have the same struggle with my dad. I have had minimal contact for years, but have made the painful choice to abandon the so called relationship entirely. To add to it, my parents are still married and i have a good relationship with my mother, makes it tough.

The weird thing is that I'm so used to living in shame that the discomfort is comfortable. It's familiar. Not feeling that is unimaginable. I can't imagine ever saying "I like myself" and meaning it. That makes me want to scoff at myself.

[@eliseta4232]

this is so painfully true

[@danmalone5365]

I identified heavily with work what few relationships I've been in in my life have been devastating so I've avoided relationships most of my life not fully understanding what was going on and it was the smart thing for me to do based on what I know now without deep psychological counseling and a willingness to walk through shameful issues no relationship would've worked. Now I see today all the available books and programs such as this as a guide through the labyrinth of toxic shame and other issues were not available just a few years ago but today there are many resources available.

This is so so so accurate! I will be the HERO! that’s been my life growing up with narcissist sadistic mother who was herself abused by her husband both criminals and drug addicts. I took the savior role trying to save her while deeply abused and deflected! I the was adopted as I was so terrified I asked for adoption.. the adoptive family did not aknowledge my trauma nor emotions I had to pretend to be a good girl to not be kicked out plus being extremely pleasing and brilliant in school.. I buried my soul to survive. I burried the abuse and loosing my family.. I burried my whole dignity so I could make it. Thankyou so so so much for this valuable and revealing information. Deep down one knows! I knew I was an impostor I just did never connect that with shame ! Thankyou so so much !

The healthy question rather should be - Why should you love him for giving you such life and not doing a single thing to make your life any better? Your feelings and conditions in your life are not your faults, you haven't designed yourself? Why not ask someone who is omnipotent and didn't do anything for you so you can feel valuable for yourself ad love yourself?

[@danmalone5365]

Disorganized attachment disorder fear without solution. Some stress is necessary for all living systems. Perception of dangers sets off an automatic response system as the fight or flight response that activated through hormonal signals. Stressful events whether an external phenomenon like a sudden appearance of a snake in a path or an internal response such as fear of losing one's job when the boss yells triggers a cascade of hormones including adrenaline and cortisol that surges through the entire body prolonged or repeated stress response a characteristic of modern life can have harmful physical and psychological consequences including heart disease diabetes anxiety and depression. The primary goal of attachment is to ensure survival of the helpless infant, but it does much more than that. It literally establishes neural pathways that organize later behavior in many of the domains. And it provides the foundation for self-regulation neuroscientists believe that attachment is such a primary primal need that there are networks of neurons in the brain dedicated to setting it in motion in the first place and a hormone oxytocin to foster process. What is my attachment style disorganized to say the least while many adults feel secure in their relationships, others tend to experience marked anxiety

Munchausen syndrome is extremely rare. Skip to your video 5 of this series and revisit that maybe just maybe the condition set up you describe in that video and you experienced yourself is actually what the person is dealing with… not faking it… but medical and spiritual and family are believing they are and especially because the narcissist is claiming they are. Victim blaming. In that video you address how C-PTSD disrupts the autonomic nervous system and creates a dynamic that can disable. You yourself on disability. You also describe it similar to ADHD presenting systems which is also then given a stimulant not just a cocaine addiction in young kids and young adults and old alike… presenting as ADHD or even bi-polar highs and lows yet it is a neurological development from abuse C-PTSD. Having this point to Munchusen truly makes this series unshakable because it could do damage to someone who truly is I’ll by planting the seed it is something being faked. The narcissist fakes not the victim of ehe narcissist. You flipped the script 😢

I ll disagree abt the hero child and abt ppl pleasing Its not always a matter of personal gain .the motive isnt egotistic always like in this presentation .1 someone becomes a hero to take the pain from others bcoz he doesnt want to see ppl he loves sad and unhappy.the child may think he can do what his loved ones cant coz hr sees weaknesses or even that he d rather suffet than a loved one suffer even if he cant the load 2 that means you DO NOT feel SHAME bcoz you are not wearing a mask S The thing is that not all relatives are bad ,The narc family members abuse OTHERS BESIDES the child.ALSO often one parent is an overt narc another a covert which plays the victim BUT the child doesn't know it ,The covert narc parent complains abt unhapyness and unjustice and the child makes it his job to protect that parent bcoz unknowing to him thats whats expected.thats what makes the child a hero . The ppl pleasing is somewhat due to a submissive caracter.the child has received goodness and felt sadness.for the sake of the first he doesnt want to make others sad and ALSO hasnt learned to say no

[@arlenepoirier]

First time the Word speaks of shame is in the Garden of Eden. I guess that they felt shame because they thought that God did not love them anymore because of what they had done. It was their first false belief and it has been going ever since then. The fact/truth is different. God never stopped loving them. They did not know at the time that The Father and the Son had already agreed that Jesus would give his life for them and us. ❤ He would be the ultimate sacrifice for us to continue living...in heaven not in hell.😊

[@TomeRodrigo]

I don't think the god part added to your video at all. If there is any god, this god is responsible for all our feelings and shame feelings and everything. If a child develops feelings of shame in the first place, that's exactly where this god should have been to prevent it, should have filled to the mind of the person and made them feel valuable and healthy. If a person feels loneliness, no value, isolation and unlovable it is not that person fault. God doesn't need to be judging something he didn't prevent and was just looking at while it was happening. If that guy felt like a dead dog that's sad, but the god you believe in left him to feel like a dead dog, he didn't fill his mind with some unconditional love. It kind of sounds like "hey I gave you a shitty life for 20 years which is not your fault anyway, so now I'll take you to the palace and give you something to make up for it, hopefully, you recognize my greatness as I don't have to do it". I honestly can't stand when people speak about this ignorant self-important god who doesn't protect any child from childhood trauma ever and leaves people to live with massive mental disorders and feelings of hopelessness, inadequacy. If this god exists, it should be apologizing to each of us for the difficult lives we have, by not our faults whatsoever.

The problem lies in your understanding of God, Satan and our world. God made us perfect, without sin, without pain and all these evils you speak of. That's what he wants for us. Satan is the deity you should be angry with. He's responsible for all those evils. God uses trauma, and what satan meant for evil to help us grow. All healing, power and love can take place if you just ask. That's it. It doesn't come instantaneously, but with time, all those hurts can be transformed. I'm sorry for all the hurts that have happened to you. They happened to me as well. However I now consider them good. If it wasn't for this pain, I would never have sought God. I would never know the love and healing and joy of God. It's our free will that let's us either accept defeat or accept healing.

Tremendous video. The Christian crap needs to be cut out though.

Just don’t watch that part. 🤷‍♀️

Many people, including myself have found it extremely helpful and healing. Don't watch that part if you don't like it.
