24. Who Defines You?

Inner Source - Healing from Toxic Abuse ·

2022/12/05

People along the Dark Triad love to define others in a way that makes their inner world more tolerable. If you are in a toxic relationship with someone like this, you will be incorrectly defined, not as you are, but as they want to see you. What happens when we begin to tune into their definitions of us instead of tuning into our truest, highest self? This can set off an identity mindset that restricts your fullest potential. In this episode we look at the internal programming that results from an

Healthy boundaries are vital for our survival. The intention of toxic people is to break down others’ boundaries in order to gain more for themselves. By breaking down your boundaries, they are more able to control you and get what they need from you. This episode takes a more in depth look at the mastermind behind toxic people's intention to blur and violate boundaries in ways that are often undetected.

The fear of rejection is based in a deep seeded need to be accepted or liked. Our ability to truly connect with others greatly depends on feeling safe and the ability to trust.

19. The Inner Programming of Your Mind

Inner Source - Healing from Toxic Abuse ·

2022/07/12

This episode focuses on the inner programming that results after being with controlling and manipulative people. Many abusive relationships follow the same patterns as brainwashing institutions such as cults. In a toxic environment, our automatic thoughts adapt to the positive and negative experiences. We don’t even realize that they may become part of our internal dialogue and response system. After a while we find that we are out of line with our truest and deepest selves including our own values,

18. Authentic Love Versus Toxic Love

Inner Source - Healing from Toxic Abuse ·

2022/03/11

Sometimes we stay in relationships much longer than we should because we believe, want to believe, or want to find out if the other person genuinely loves us. Breaking a bond of authentic love can be one of the most difficult things we ever go through. But if the love is not authentic then the feeling may be one of being trapped. When you know for sure whether the relationship is based on authentic love or if it is a transactional relationship you gain more power over your choices. This episode

Becoming the observer gives you the advantage of keen awareness and more emotional management. Which means not getting sucked into irrational and pointless battles. It means becoming aware of yourself, your emotions, your responses, and how you interpret your experiences from a non-judgmental place. It also allows you to observe others' reactions without emotional investment.

Sometimes it can be difficult to determine if you are in a toxic relationship, and ironically, especially when you’re in one. There are many factors that contribute to a very powerful trauma-bond causing confusion, distortion of reality, and a lack of trust in your own perceptions. You might often have a strong desire to leave the relationship but get stuck wondering if you’re misreading the behaviors, or if the negative moments are just mistakes that can be mended, forgiven and put in the past only

11. The Sorry Compulsion

Inner Source - Healing from Toxic Abuse ·

2022/01/17

We end up over-apologizing for everything. This is our attempt to avoid more conflict and backlash. Apologizing also helps defend against disappointing others. But being in the habit of apologizing sets us up for low self-esteem and other negative affects. This episode looks at the ‘sorry syndrome’, which can develop after being around toxic people for a while, as we take on more and more of their responsibilities.

You have been a great source of narcissistic supply, but you finally figured out that you have been dealing with a narcissist. When they realize that you see this, there will be backlash. That is because they know that they will be unable to fool you anymore and won’t be able to continue their narcissistic supply from you. You are now interfering with their addiction, which is the supply of attention, admiration, power and control that you gave them. They will be in withdrawal. You might see a no

2021/02/23

I have learned from trauma-focused therapy approaches that we need to feel our emotions. We all want to avoid, dismiss, or deny difficult and hurtful feelings but the only way to heal is to feel. This activates the natural healing process and frees us from the debilitating effects of unresolved trauma and deeply buried emotions. Without going through this difficult part of the journey we live with chronic tension, anxiety, depression, apathy, low energy, depleted self-esteem, irritability,

2021/02/19

Loss is part of life, but more importantly it is a part of any toxic relationship. Whether it is the loss of others or the loss of self, loss is almost a guarantee in and around toxic behaviors. We always lose a part of ourselves when we are around someone with little empathy. People who fall on the toxic spectrum have little empathy and are generally focused on getting their needs met before anything else and with little regard to others. A big part of loss is that the fear of it can keep us stuck

Finally, the narcissist apologized. It sounded genuine. Maybe? We want to believe that their apology was genuine, even though we know deep down that there’s a strong likelihood that it wasn’t. So what do you do with that? If you don’t believe them, then it will be twisted back to you, as though you are heartless, have trust issues, or lack compassion. But if you do believe them, you might be setting yourself up for more hurt and disappointment. This episode looks at narcissistic/toxic apologies from

2020/12/18

Sometimes the only thing we want from the person who has hurt us is an apology. We might even be able to somehow coerce one out of them, or maybe they actually realize that they have gone too far and offer one, or so we believe. Is it a genuine apology? Or is it fake? How do you tell the difference? This episode goes over some of the reasons people with toxic behaviors apologize, as well as the typical types of apologies you can expect from a narcissist.

Inner Source - Healing from Toxic Abuse ·

2020/12/06

Shame is at the core of dependency and codependency. After spending time with a person who has toxic or manipulative behaviors, we begin to internalize their subtle and sometimes not so subtle messages about ourselves. This can cause an underlying sense of shame. Shame is an inner experience of feeling unwanted, worthless, or rejected. When we’re burdened with shame, we want to attach to something or someone else to get away from ourselves. When we have a deep belief that we’re not good enough, we

Inner Source - Healing from Toxic Abuse ·

2020/12/04

After being involved with a narcissist, it takes some healing to get back to the feeling of who we were before the relationship, or before the damage to the psyche. Victims of narcissistic or toxic abuse end up wondering what happened to their former selves. They might remember being more independent, more vivacious, more outgoing. Or maybe they feel a decrease in their creativity and passion. The journey back to the soul is the most difficult but the single most important part of the healing
