Summary: <p><strong>Still stuck with too much time up close and personal with a #narcissistic #Hijackal? That can be so difficult! </strong></p><p><strong>They can be such emotional vampires, sucking energy out of every room.</strong></p><br><p><strong>And, you end up getting way too much exercise walking on eggshells! </strong></p><br><p>This is the third in this <strong>Housebound With A Hijackal</strong>. In previous parts of this series, I've suggested <strong>never poke a #Hijackal</strong>. That just makes sense: they rage, threaten, or demean and it's just not worth it. Nothing moves forward. Today, I'm taking four things that #Hijackals do, and giving you internal antidotes--things you can do within yourself--to <strong>neutralize the external toxicity</strong> of the Hijackal. You know, those toxic <strong>demeaning</strong>, <strong>devaluing</strong>, <strong>discounting</strong>, <strong>dismissive</strong> ways along with the <strong>raging torrents of words</strong> and energy that are usually quite out of proportion with what's actually happening! </p><br><p>Knowing that you have effective tools in your toolkit for those moments when a Hijackal dances on your last nerve is empowering...if you remember to use the tools. There is that, right? lol </p><br><p>These four strategies will help you always, even when you're not housebound with a Hijackal. I think you'll find such relief that you'll use them often. I hope you will, that's for sure. </p><br><p>Big hugs!</p><p>Rhoberta</p><br><p><strong>HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EPISODE:</strong></p><ul> <li><strong>What to do when complaining, blaming, and shaming come at you #narcissisticabuse</strong></li> <li><strong>Recognizing gaslighting</strong></li> <li><strong>An exercise to empower you when a #Hijackal wants to define your reality for you</strong></li> <li><strong>Understanding true assertiveness and how to express it well </strong></li> <li><strong>How to take charge of your breath and use it to modify your state</strong></li> <li><strong>Affirmations to help you stay present and positive in the face of negativity and blame</strong></li> </ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Want clarity, insights, strategies, and support from me, Dr. Rhoberta Shaler?
