Stimming! Self Stimulatory behavior. Yes, neuro typical people can stim too. However MANY autistics stim in one way or another, whether it's rocking, hand flapping, hair pulling, tapping, etc. There are even vocal stims!

QUESTION: I know that in relationships it's good to be honest. However, how would you feel if your partner confessed to you something he/she did 20 years ago?

Mine gave me some info that wrecked me. He's different now, and would never do "that" now.

Maybe he didn't want any secrets between us, but the info didn't help in ANY way - only hurt me. I feel he took his burden and placed it on me.

Without being too specific, I've been in counseling this past year trying to figure out how NOT to freak out when things trigger my PTSD due to sexual trauma. His confession was about something regarding that topic.

I think I'm looking for validation for my anger at him telling me - but be honest. I'd really appreciate your thoughts.

after narc abuse is SO hard!!!

Word Salad. A tactic used by Narcissists to confuse us so much that we ultimately just give up on the conversation. ***Incidentally - it's extremely common for Narcs to do VERY LITTLE to help with household chores. At the same time, it's also EXTREMELY COMMON for them to control the finances. Is it all starting to "add up?"

Famous last words; "Trust me."

Our culture places so much emphasis on physical appearance. I don’t know about you, but I feel constantly bombarded by idealistic images in the media, and feel inadequate on a regular basis. What if we take a step back and look at our bodies through a different lens. What if we look at them as vessels, gifts that we were given to house our souls and spirits while here on Earth?...

Understanding PTSD is a HUGE part of healing from trauma. When we have intense, over the top reactions to seemingly random things, it can be extremely frustrating, especially when we don’t know why we’re reacting the way we are. This can cause a lot of anxiety and depression, in addition to avoidance of certain people and activities, which in turn can cause more anxiety and depression. ...

I hope you find value in this post. Let me know your thoughts!

I want to address the fact that you matter, FIRST…… BEFORE we start down the path of learning how to love ourselves because if we don’t feel that we matter, it’s a 911 SITUATION. We’ll look…

Part 1 of a Series I haven’t written a blog in a while. I’ve been in a dark place, which is a bit disappointing to me on one level, because I thought I was past the downward spirals. On the other hand, it proves a point that I’ve made before, and now believe more than ever: “Whatever you focus on expands.” My last 10 blog posts have been about the characteristics, traits and behaviors of narcissists, the narcissistic cycle, the effect they have on others, and a little bit about attachment styles....
