Dear Reena,

I’ve just sent a response to Bronwyn’s message to Ginny. I’ve also just read your loving message to Ginny.

I hope you have access to reading this message I’m now writing to you. As a newcomer, I’m not entirely sure how comments are shared to one another.

Anyway, if you happen to receive this message, I’d also like to say a big thank you for for sharing your encouraging experiences with doing the NARP programme and your comments that you had the privilege of meeting Melanie in London earlier this year.

Like Bronwyn’s comments to Ginny were, also, your comments to Ginny have been just as encouraging to me as Bronwyn’s were to her.

Thank you once again, for your loving support to those of us struggling at this present time.

Love Ros xx

Thank you so much Bronwyn on your comments to Ginny to look into doing Melanie’s NARP programme. I can see it’s some months ago that you made your comment to Ginny, so I hope you manage to receive my reply to you.

As a result of your comments to Ginny you have encouraged and enlightened me to move forward and commit to Melanie’s NARP programme.

I’m a newcomer to this forum and of course as some newcomer’s can be, I’m naturally curious and hungry to gain information as to better improve my current circumstances. I am 68 years old and have been struggling for so so long to set myself free from narcissistic abuse.

I’m seriously thinking of attending one of Melanie’s upcoming workshops in the East of Australia. I live in Western Australia.

Your message indicates to me that yes the healing can hurt, but the pain has some gain to it. You have chosen your words well and they are very comforting to me. I am going to join NARP tonight.

Thank you once again for your loving input into helping others you do not know.

Warm regards

Ros xx

Well when exactly does the chain of abuse stop? Ppl have to start taking accountability for their abuse & it should start with the parents! Period! Part of that “blame game” truly is about healing & realizing that it’s the perpetrators fault not my own! I mean my word, my parents were abusive & I know their parents were but I found out the difference & made darn sure I was not going to repeat the patterns with my 6 kids! Now they are all thriving healthy adults! Why? because I broke the chain & found out the difference! And my parents should have done the same. Do not read in to my statement here that I have not healed, I have! It took me a lot of years & many more to forgive & let go! But I’m thee best I could ever be now. Point here is that fault is important in the whole equation. Whether or not parents actually do take accountability or not won’t necessarily help in the healing but regardless they should be held accountable (even if they don’t take that accountability) I hold them accountable for there actions. And that is why those narcissists aren’t in my life anymore.

Hi Mel,
I’ve never come across such an accurate reading of my life. Thank you for supporting us and giving us real hope. Just by reading, i already feel positive (just to finally have someone who seems to really understand). Your work is amazing.
Much love.

Hi Melanie,
I absolutely love reading your blog. The information you give about healing from within is exactly what I always knew to be true. What is the title of your book? Is it based on your blog posts?

You might have to do work with Option method to change incorrect beliefs that you have held so long you rarely look at.Reich called the muscular armonring energy blocks, the internal bodily energy of a living thing becomes blocked by the muscular armoring.
