Summary: <p><strong>Never underestimate the effect of having a narcissistic parent or partner! Resist the urge to downplay the verbal and emotional abuse. </strong>You're not supposed to be abused...by anyone!!! Today, I'm sharing some ways to r<strong>ecognize your own trauma</strong>, so you can take steps away from it...whether you leave or not. </p><br><p><strong>Shahida Arabi</strong>, talking about <strong>childhood abuse and trauma</strong>, wrote in her article, What It's Like To Be A <strong>Complex Trauma Survivor </strong>of Narcissistic Abuse: </p><p>"Survivors carry a sense of <strong>toxic shame</strong>, helplessness, and a feeling of separateness from others, of being different and defective due to trauma." </p><br><p>If you have experienced childhood abuse and/or trauma, you are more likely to attract a potentially abusive partner. Sad news, I know. And, at some deeper levels, you may be "comfortably uncomfortable" with it, at least for a while. </p><br><p>It's important to recognize your own trauma, and then to work it through so that you are no longer operating from it subconsciously. Today's episode will definitely help.</p><br><p>Big hugs!</p><p>Rhoberta</p><br><p><strong>HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EPISODE:</strong></p><ul> <li><strong>How trauma interferes with your brain, learning, decision-making, and memory</strong></li> <li><strong>Why you don't associate current issues with past trauma </strong></li> <li><strong>What trauma bonds are and how they keep you trapped</strong></li> <li><strong>Signs of past trauma</strong></li> <li><strong>Recognizing trauma for what it is</strong></li> <li><strong>Understanding the impact of trauma now and from the past </strong></li> </ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Want clarity, insights, strategies, and support from me, Dr. Rhoberta Shaler?
