Are you done being a member of the '4-F' club? Fight, Flight, Freeze or Fawn. These are physiological reactions when your emotional and/or physical safety is threatened and can deplete you to exhaustion. In practicing psychotherapy for 20+ years, I've become well-learned of all that exists in the narcissistic realm. The imprint of narcissistic abuse - self-abandonment, depletion of your soul, and fracturing your sense of self to an unrecognizable state - this can all be recovered. Let me help in the healing of your authentic self.

You're entirely powerless. You've begun isolating from your family. The shame is so deep that you're afraid to look them in the eye. They'll surely see the heavy secret you've been carrying. You've tried to be "good enough" for him, but the cycle of emotional abuse and manipulation is never-ending. You've begun to question your sanity. You made excuses for their behavior, his "moods". You've changed yourself to appease him and lost yourself in the process. You no longer recognize the woman in the mirror with her sad and tired eyes. You've disconnected from you friends and the things you once loved. You've lost who you are.
