Hi Winda,

you may find this interview with Marie very insightful in regard to Alanon.

I can see how “regurgitating” the info can develop more negative peptides, and am skeptical of these groups. However, I do know a lot of people who gain support and move on, especially when combining these groups with 1:1 therapy. Please advise. Thank you, Winda

I am always amazed at how synchronistic your articles are for my growth. I like what you said that you have to give up your old life when it is not working. When it is not FREEDOM. Nothing from the outside works to give you that freedom but you yourself. Isn’t wonderful that you realized expanding the world was more you than having a nice house? That made me wonder what perfectly nice pictures I have grown attached to that aren’t really me at all.

My N partner has shown back up after a year and I discovered another layer of wanting him to rescue me from being alone. Now, though, I have the tools to sit back, look at where my little girl is damaged (not valid on her own without a man) and get to work on letting that false self go. I am finally UNDERSTANDING some of this. Thank you for your amazing work.

For many years I have been unable to cry; I knew this was to do with an
emotional stuckness I had. Reading your article touched me
deeply and I felt undertood, and more self understanding. I opened to the tears that flowed as an offering of compassion to the hurt part of me and the potential hope that evolution to self love can offer and bring to my growth and life.
I look forward to your webinar tonight. Bless Poly

Hi TG,

I promise you absolutely it does – what you are describing is EXACTLY how I and so many people felt after N-abuse.

Absolutely up-levelling yourself changes all of that – profoundly – it just doesn’t exist anymore, when you have transformed your Inner Being.

I really want to address your message this week in Part 2!

Please look out for it …

It has helped me become more aware of what I need to do in a very concrete practical way. Thank you for all you do! I am in a constant battle and I struggle lately with voluntary solitude. I only want to stay home under the covers because I don’t want to be out in the world. I go to work and do what I need to do for to take care of my kids and pay bills etc. but there is no pleasure in any of it. Something is blocking me from seeing a future for myself (I can see great things for my kids but not for me personally). Everything is a trigger for me and I constantly miss the good things about my Narc Ex husband and the life we had together now that he is living with someone else. I think about how we will never have those times/experiences again and I try to thank God that I had the opportunity to love and to feel and to bring children into the world but then the sadness and the emptiness take over and I just want to check out and forget because it is too painful. Does getting in touch with true self stop the limerence, longing and constant remembering?

Hi Trixie,

I am glad this article was again timely for you.

This is wonderful that you are realising how separated the “outside in” is, and that its time to come home to yourself.

You are so welcome Trixie 🙂
