Cluster B Abuse Support

Sometimes, a break to process everything emotionally is what is needed. 🫂

We’re sorry you know 🫂

And with a con artist, it's not personal. You may have invested your emotions, but they didn't. They couldn't! That's the entire issue with narcissism--they can't invest emotions into other people. The problem here is that a con artist is aware they are conning. But the narcissist is unaware of how much of an interpersonal con artist he/she truly is. The narcissist him/herself is a victim of their own "shared fantasy". At the end of the day they are being conned, too. You might see this sometimes--that the narcissist is helpless in the face of their illness--and suddenly things seem human again. And that's the tragedy with the narcissist: the seeming humanity.

The goal is to realize that narcissistic abuse is/was impersonal. Rid yourself of personal implications of what happened. Meaning - “Why me, what did I do to deserve this, what does it say about me”.

Congratulations! Enjoy that pizza! 🍕

Stare blankly & pretend you didn’t just confront them. Make things even more confusing by telling another lie, that’s worse than the first one, in an effort to explain their initial lie. My CPTSD is off the chain if we can’t even agree on something as basic as THE EARTH IS NOT FLAT.

People must understand that conscienceless narcissistic psychopaths engage in depravity offensive against ALL laws of humanity.

They can do anything to anyone including things your conscience-filled mind cannot even conceive of.

We’ve known from day 1. You’re accepted regardless. Hope it gets easier for you. 🫂

Are you or someone you care about experiencing narcissistic abuse? Pin this feed ❤️‍🩹

This is so sweet ♥️

Glad to be here 🫂

Finally putting my masters degree in mental health science to work!

Speaking at women’s leadership conference in Paris, France. Topic is how psychological abuse impacts our careers. #neuroscience #trauma, #psychologicalabuse, #vawg, #narcissticabuse #mentalhealth

Because Cluster B’s are professional victims that like to re-write narratives so successfully, they convince people that their psychopathic presentations are anything but what they actually are; facts be damned.

💔 Emotional blackmail isn't love. Saying "if you really love me, you will do this for me" is a manipulative tactic, not a sign of affection. True love respects boundaries and doesn't demand compliance. Choose respect over demands.

Thanks For putting this together!

A narcissist's faked helplessness is a manipulation tactic. They claim they "can't" do something to get you to do it, making you feel helpful while subtly gaining control and avoiding responsibility. 😡

❓ What things did they tell you they couldn't do?

Borderline presenting psychopathy (cluster B) does not typically manifest with a splitting of morals; the split is when the mask falls and the core they’ve been holding back is revealed. Splitting is a misnomer, it implies two different personalities; when it reality it’s one, with a fragile mask.

Their Moves Are Never Random Pathological Abuse | Pathological Games

Their actions may seem erratic, but once you recognize their playbook, their unpredictable tactics become predictable. ​However, predicting the unpredictable is not the same as outsmarting them.

The only thing to be done with some people is to make every effort to forget that they exist. They add nothing to your life, & even accidentally stumbling upon their words will only destabilize you & distract from your goals.

Go cold turkey. Grey rock. They are not a thing.

We’re sorry your have to deal with these things. Sending you good vibes :)

There are few betrayals as common or hurtful as the familial expectation that you be polite to & engage with people who abused you.

You're not being "difficult" or "resistant" if emotional regulation strategies that worked for others don't fit for you. All it means is what it means: those tools & your nervous system don't click. No judgment; no shame.

Yes, it's frustrating. But it's not your "failure."

Something we learn in CPTSD recovery is that "bravery" isn't always about "pushing through" a situation no matter the damage we're sustaining; it's often more about sitting w/ feelings & memories we hate or don't understand without denying, disowning, or dissociating them.

Complex trauma has a way of making us feel like we're already dead. That the version of us who was "supposed" to exist & live died, & we're just a husk. What got left behind.

It's not true.

If you are alive to read these words, your journey is not over.

Breathe. Blink. Focus.

The distinction between actual personality disorders and CPTSD needs to be more clearly defined and made. Too many resources are given to unrecoverable PD’s that get mixed in with treatable, addressable CPTSD’s, to the point where it’s almost Insulting to people with PTSD if you didn’t know better.

Trauma Brain is going to try to trick us into jumping from "realistically assessing & taking responsibility for our role in our current struggles" to "blaming ourselves for our symptoms, vulnerability, & abuse."

Don't let it get away with that sh*t. They're not the same.

Do not let Trauma Brain or the Addiction Beast trick you into abandoning your recovery because your options are imperfect at the moment.

Your options may suck right now-- but you still deserve safety, stability, support, & recovery.

Extend yourself grace, even when healing isn't graceful.

Nobody's judging or ranking or scoring our recovery (nobody who matters, anyway). The success of our recovery is its effectiveness in keeping us alive & supporting our functioning-- not how good or cinematic it looks.

Maybe today you have Trauma Brain whispering-- or screaming-- in you ear there's no possible way to create or sustain a life worth living. That happens.

Take that as a sign that today is not for making big decisions; breathe; & focus on the next recovery supporting micro choice.
