EMOTIONAL TRAUMA KEEPS YOU STUCK AFTER A NARCISSIST

In this video Anoushka explores how trauma from a toxic relationship can keep you emotionally stuck, as it often leaves deep psychological scars that distort your sense of self-worth and reality. In such relationships, manipulation, emotional abuse, or neglect can create patterns of fear, insecurity, and self-doubt. Even after leaving the relationship, these patterns persist, making it difficult to trust others or even yourself. The trauma can trigger feelings of shame, anxiety, or depression, leading to a cycle of rumination over the past and fear of future relationships. This emotional paralysis can prevent you from moving forward, healing, and rebuilding a healthy sense of identity. Healing from trauma requires time, self-compassion, and often professional support to break free from the lingering effects of the toxic relationship.

Emotional trauma from a narcissist isn't just a wound; it’s a prison that keeps you chained long after they’re gone. Every lie, every manipulation, every betrayal becomes a ghost that haunts your mind, replaying the hurt on a loop you can’t escape. My wife’s relentless deceit over 25 years has left me stuck in a cycle of distrust and emptiness, like fighting shadows in the dark. The damage isn’t just in what they did; it’s in how they rewired your perception of love, safety, and self-worth, trapping you in a labyrinth of pain where moving on feels impossible.

Thank you Anoushka, your such a blessing. Your help has been very helpful. Trauma bond is so draining. I believe I am getting better with the trauma. 35 years of being married to a narc, has not been easy, I just keeping pushing forward. It been a a little over a year since I left with my granddaughter. Thank you again

When you talked about the feeling of "not being able to trust anyone" - THAT IS REAL - I've been away from my ex, who I think is a Narcissist for almost 10 months now and I REALLY DID have that feeling for quite a while. It's a feeling I'll NEVER forget, and I think it's your body's way of saying that you need to be WAY MORE CAREFUL in who you allow in your life.

I taught martial arts; muscle memory is developed by practicing repeatedly. I've been in Dialectic Behavioral Therapy and emotional regulation is developed by practicing repeatedly, especially when not in an excited state.❤

There is another thing that happened to me and I believe it's related to this video. I was dumped by my ex in early December of 2023 and I saw her in person for the last time on New Year's Eve - not even a month later. This is NO JOKE - my body actually started SHAKING for a few minutes. She noticed that I was VISIBLY shaking and with a quite non-concerned tone of voice she had THE NERVE to ask me, "Why are you shaking?" I was with her for 7 and a half years and I was basically discarded, blocked, ghosted and stonewalled with NO EXPLANATION for that whole month - she had just run away and didn't answer my calls or messages. THAT IS ABUSE and THAT was my body reacting to it.

Finding a emergency exit sign and running outside is the goal. Then as we get free we soon remember that we were in that building for reasons. We went inside to get out of a bad neighborhood. Back to square one. But a little smarter. Yeah it hurts. Got scorched. Lost friends and possibly family. Probably lost money and even worse, time. I know that I did. But maybe the learning was necessary. Hope I don't go in circles.

When you become the deer in headlight...and then reality was spoken truth...and you are that deer in headlight..you no longer no truth!
That is when you know, the life you thought you had, was all a lie! 7 years in..did it get better?, , , YES!!! But.. will never again.. I found peace within me.
And no...!

Anoshka thank you very much for your hard work and all support. I am already over a month out of relationship with narcisst and I was destroyed first 2 weeks and after that I felt releaf till last week. I dont know why but some how last week, I was travelling to work and around 9 am I start to felt so drain and my head start to rush with thoughts of mine ex narcisst. And there was few other things like I could smell her and I was alone in a room weard. Also I was watching Instagram and every some video her name starts to pop up. And till today day I have littile issues to control my thoughts. Maybe last week I had one day when I could be my self but any other day its like she is forcing her energy On me its hard to explain. We are no contact and I hope it stays like that but just wanted to share here because maybe someone had similar to me. Or I am Just getting crazy.

■Trauma stays stuck in the body. Yes. BREATH WORK releases it BUT it is very emotionally dysregulating.
