Hi. Much of the information and skills re: DBT, CBT, etc. I am very familiar with from prior therapy, both outpatient and inpatient. I agree with the value of these skills and resources, although, just like many other resources, they are difficult to grab ahold of during an episode, stressful moment, conversation, or trauma causing (triggering) event. Role playing is helpful to gain the best chance of being competent in using them in real life.
I enrolled in the course due to my recent meeting of someone who displays sociopathic traits. What was unexpected, and incredibly valuable, is the revelation that my mom is a narcissist. This is answering so many questions I’ve had over my 64 years. I had no clue. I completely overlooked the possibility that she had a disorder. I knew she wasn’t very maternal, caring, compassionate or empathetic, however I always made excuses for her behavior or protected her. Now I am beginning to get clarity on so much. Oh my goodness, all of us, seven children, so much trauma and pain. Even still.
I shared some of what I learned last week with my physical therapy assistant. She was very moved by it. When she had a moment, she sat with me and shared that she has not spoken to her mom in five years. She has identified her mom’s behavior as narcissism. She is much younger than me. Her only sibling, brother, along with Aunt’s, Uncle’s and cousins are taking the mom’s side and lashing out and shaming her for not ‘forgiving and having a relationship with her mom’. Oh gosh, I was so glad to offer her some understanding and kindness/compassion. I shared your site information with her.
As usual, my path to you is not random and has a beautiful purpose to bring healing from pain. I am grateful.
Thank you.
