Beware of This Temptation (Euphoric Recall) - Terri Cole

Do you have selective memory, where you only remember the good from a painful relationship or time in your life? Almost like hyper-positivity with past experiences?

Do you feel tempted to return to these toxic relationships or experiences?

If you’re nodding your head, you are not alone. I see this in many of my therapy clients, and I figured if it is happening with them, maybe you are experiencing this, too.

In this video, I talk about euphoric recall – what it is, why it is dangerous, and how to protect yourself from falling back into old, toxic patterns or relationships.

Yes. I get that. I find myself dreaming about the good times I had with the narcissist I was involved with. It does not last long as I remind myself that this relationship was a lie right from the beginning. Those je t'aime bébé... were just word's used to make me feel that I mattered. Lies. It was all manipulation right from the beginning. Now I am going to slap myself out of it everytime I will be catching myself in that euphoric dream.

Yes and may I add this... Édith Piaf wrote a song about this called "La Vie en Rose". Right. She had a few toxic relationships herself. Now I understand why she wrote the song. I see life is full spectrum colors now. Maybe I should write a song about it 😂😂😂
