New here-hi! 💖

@Lovinlivin8

Hello again! Thank you for inviting others to share in your process. I understand relationship trauma can often run layers deep. I have the classic form of ptsd myself.

See you around! 💕

Hi!

I am finding the impact of something similar that happened to me is really affecting my feelings in a new relationship. Like my gut instinct is warped about it even when it doesn't logically make sense.. Does any of this make sense to you guys?

Hello

Hey @Lovinlivin8!

I am very proud of you and eager to see your progress. Dating a narcissist is truly a traumatic experience, along with the traumatic events that come with it. You are very brave and you seem to have lots of determination, those qualities are pretty rare for someone who underwent such a traumatic time. I am very proud and happy to see, this from someone who also has PTSD.

I did EMDR for my processing of my PTSD and it has honestly changed my whole life. I would definitely look into that if you have not already. You are on the right track! I am so very happy to see you.

Thank you for sharing this post, you are truly inspiring,

Deanna

I've never been in a narcissistic romantic relationship, but I've definitely experienced the effects of growing up with a narcissistic parent and have seen so many people go through relationships with people who are narcissistic. It's so painful to go through and it's hard to see how it destroys the people I love. I'm sorry you've had this experience and hope that sharing your story and hearing others share their story may help you find healing!
