Sharing this real testimonial with permission ❤️

I’m building an online course program for Adult Children of Narcissists and Survivors of Narcissistic Abuse who want to finally break free from disempowering limiting beliefs and build a more authentic, self-led life of true expression that is genuinely aligned with who they really are. This is the way to lasting happiness and fulfillment 💪🏼💗

This quote from psychotherapist Nathaniel Branden comes from his 1972 book "The Disowned Self", which was recently recommended to me by a lovely patient who is a psychotherapist herself. This quote reminds us that our minds can’t bully our hearts into silence 🌸

When we rush to find a “solution” to our feelings, our feelings don’t disappear - they simply go underground & then come out sideways as:

✳️ insomnia
✳️ numbness
✳️ sullenness
✳️ deflation
✳️ sadness
✳️ depression
✳️ anxiety
✳️ panic attacks
✳️ dissociation
✳️ and a pervasive sense of being disconnected from our bodies, minds, and souls

If you’ve spent much of your life in spaces where:

❤️‍🩹 real feelings had to be suppressed

❤️‍🩹 image & appearance mattered more than truth

❤️‍🩹 you weren’t fully respected as an independent soul on your own unique soul journey...

It’s very common to become good at lying to yourself 🤥

Over time, this chronic self-deception and self-abandonment can lead to depression, anxiety, and physical illness 🤢

The good news though is that this pattern can **absolutely** be healed and transformed. And this healing is exactly what my upcoming online course is centered around 🩷

This new course is for anyone who struggles to embrace who they truly are, speak up for themselves, set healthy boundaries, and say no without feeling guilty ☂️

You’ll discover how to calmly voice your truth, tolerate the discomfort of setting boundaries, and nurture a more respectful relationship with your own inner world 🌎

Before I start building this course, I’d love to hear from you!

Your input - shared in a quick 10 min confidential online survey - will help me make sure this course includes exactly what you need most 🎖️

And as a big thank you, everyone who completes the survey will be entered into a drawing to win a $150 Amazon gift card! 🎁

Just click here to take the confidential survey 📝: https://forms.gle/8FZBJLzXwek2576K8

It's quick, easy, and your feedback will directly shape what this course becomes! 🦋

** The survey closes next Wednesday, May 20, so be sure to share your thoughts before then! **

To your best mental health,
Dr. Ambardar 😊 💗

👋 I’m building a new online course program for anyone who grew up in emotionally unsafe, invalidating, controlling, or narcissistic environments and is now ready to reclaim their voice, strengthen their boundaries, and nurture a more loving relationship with themselves. 🩷

But before I build it, I’d love to hear from you!

If you struggle with:

✨ speaking up for yourself
✨ saying no without guilt

✨ and being your own unique, weird self

…I’ve put together a short, 10-minute survey to learn more about how I can best support you on your journey.

Your thoughts and experiences will help shape this course so that it can be as thoughtful, practical, compassionate, and helpful as possible. 💛

I wish there had been enough time for me to give this valuable piece of advice to my daughter’s graduating class when I gave their commencement speech.

GLP-1s for Binge Eating Disorder: A New Frontier in Psychiatry 🧠💊

If you or someone you love struggles with Binge Eating Disorder (BED), there is new hope. 💗

As an integrative psychiatrist who blends psychopharmacology with holistic care, I’ve seen how GLP-1s such as semaglutide (Ozempic) and tirzepatide (Zepbound) can dramatically reduce binge eating episodes (and even binge drinking behavior!) - often within the first 2–4 weeks of treatment. 🦋

👉 GLP-1s work by:

🌈 Targeting brain areas involved in reward-seeking and impulse control, such as the hypothalamus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex.

🌈 Decreasing food-related intrusive thoughts (“food noise”)

🌈 Slowing gastric emptying and promoting satiety and fullness faster

🌈 Reducing dopaminergic reward-seeking behavior

🌈 Regulating impulsivity and compulsive eating patterns

When combined with psychotherapy, trauma work, and lifestyle changes, GLP-1s can support deep, life-changing healing around food. 💕

If you’ve been struggling with binge eating disorder, it’s important to know that it’s not about willpower; it’s about neurobiology, and help is absolutely available 🌸

💌 At The Happiness Psychiatrist®, I provide GLP-1 therapy to patients throughout California and New York.

If you’re ready to explore whether GLP-1s could be right for you, please feel free to visit https://bit.ly/3B0vdOZ to learn more! 🦄

Dr. Ambardar 💕 😊 💗

Have you ever expressed your precious authentic inner truth to your mom or dad, only for them to immediately belittle and invalidate your soul with “that’s ridiculous” or “be serious”? 😢
