I like that idea that codependency was a strategy we learned for survival in chaotic early experience. Michelle thanks so much for your enlightened critique on Boundaries. Boundaries are a comment, a statement, a self protection. However, they are not and cannot aim at changing the behaviour of the person they are enacted with. Yes. This is such clarity for me. I realise now that, as people say, "only say things once to the narcissist, don't keep asking them". We make that Boundary. It is a statement that their behaviour is unacceptable. But they may choose to ignore it and are so deluded that they cannot/will not change or respond. That is so clear. We hold a Boundary. The rest is their responsibility. Really helpful idea! ; ) K

Thank you....markers of healing ...brilliant. I am feeling l am healing. I have to catch myself daily with wanting to control to feel safe. Or even my addiction to controlling everything....people, places, things. Finally at 63 l am doing the real work. Bless you. Ireland

Yessss! It’s happening 💕♥️💕♥️💕 We can do this, risking getting out of isolation and walking with others on this journey.

Great video. So important to have "markers" to figure out whether we're healing. And, as always, Michelle does it in a real, compassionate way.

[gracesanity]

When l come back to myself...l don't feel as lonely cause l am connecting to my own life, needs, wants. I am now to busy to care re others anymore.

Anger & resentment over how you have been in the past. It’s like grieving the old person. So hard to forgive myself. I feel like I take two steps forward and one step back.

I have been struggling with wondering if I'm doing the right thing by leaving the relationship with my husband of 6 years. (Together for 14) Thank you so much for the insight. I no longer question it being unhealthy, and I feel better about my decision.
