Mr. Vaknin, thank you very much for this video and your work. My husband was doing something that seemed innocuous that I asked him to stop because it was triggering intense discomfort. He knows I have PTSD but insisted that he had the right to do it and it triggered a flashback to a repressed memory of childhood sexual abuse. I had an explosive fight response and a meltdown. I couldn’t get out of bed for three days. He has since asked for a divorce. Because of your lectures I have learned that he is a covert narcissist. His lack of empathy heightened when I became ill in recent years. Thank you for your work. I know I may never fully heal from this abuse but I at least have language to describe what I have experienced. Thank you.

He wanted butt play?

Thanks again for covering more BPD topics. Always appreciate it and they always help me, more than years of any in-person therapy ever has done.

Thank you, Professor Vaknin for your work on this! It is greatly appreciated! In 1995 my ex-husband was diagnosed with BPD and discharged from the military. I barely found any information on it and the information that I found was not sure how it was developed, but they did attribute to most likely childhood trauma. In my effort to help him before I learned that he was suffering from a mental illness, I tried teaching him meditation and on the first session of sitting he burst out of it in anger and said he could not do it. I was heartbroken for him, because I thought that meditation would help him to digest this life like it did for me. I never understood why he couldn't learn meditation and he did not share with me why, but whatever it was he experienced in meditation, it scared him. Your video content today, has helped me to understand after all of these years why meditation did not work. Thanks again for all of your work and study on the subject. I am finally getting answers to questions that I had over 30 years ago that could not be answered.

@@Zwantceeto Great analogy! It helps me to actually put what happened into prospective and to tread lightly if I ever recommend meditation to anyone else. I took for granted that it would help him, but was naive to the fact that everyone can't take a look inside of themselves and calm the mind. Thank you for your response. It is appreciated.

No, your videos are not a trauma 😊 😂 thank you for them, so generous of you always

[@jaimejones-q1u]

Honestly I watch these to educate me on myself.

It happens that a retrotraumatic situation is under control, but subsequent dreams are deadly violent. And this has been repeated and repeated for many years. You run away from such people and meet the same ones

Flashbacks are the movie in your head , you can’t not watch it all replay and it feels like you are reliving it. Flashbacks are pure hell . Eventually you learn to dissociate or distract to try to stop the flashbacks or derail them. It’s futile, mental gymnastics.

Can you talk about twin flames and soulmates. A lot of people use these concepts to justify relationships with infidelity and abuse as if it's something magical

Greetings Sam, Do you prefer Myers-Briggs Model or Big-five model? Or maybe both are good? And also do you think they are accurate displays of one’s personality?

Prof. Vaknin, i have not understood properly if You dismiss the entire concept of 'emotional flashbacks' described by Pete Walker on Cptsd or is this semantical difference? Could You please clarify?

I feel so guilty and shame because even though he was a manipulator,i would have said no to him, i could have strong boundaries, so i feel it's my fault that i let someone misused me. Looking back now i wonder how the hell i approved him to misuse me, feel like he has done black magic on me. My mind is a mess after 6 monthd of no contact ,still im grieving.

Mr Vaknin i got question for you.. been working with prisoners long time.. one thing i cannot quite understand how one person can be diagnosed with all conditions .. eg spectrum of autism, adah, shizofrenia, bdp, and ptsd... i seen such diagnosis and i try to make sense of it. Any chance you can explain it plz?is it misdiagnose or is it fluctuate in our life to different forms and shapes?
