On 14 & 15 June, I was in a cafe and then in a restaurant respectively, and I noticed I wasn't looking around which I always did. I would often look at people everytime they moved from their seats or when the cafe door opened. There was complete silence in my mind, which is otherwise filled...

I have few elder siblings, and they all have kids. One of my elder brothers would abuse my another brother’s children almost everyday. Surprisingly, their father never objected to the bullying. I couldn’t stand these kids being bullied right in front of me. I did some NLP exercises to build up...

I went to this counsellor couple of times. At first, I felt good. I felt relieved. I didn't even know what to expect from her, nor did she ever raise this during our nearly 20+ sessions. We only did talk therapy and I didn't even know what type of therapy would be most suitable for me. Even...

I decided to make a single thread in which I will post my problems, experiences, solutions, happy moments of recovery (even if little), etc. so that I don't have to make a new thread every time I post something new.

I imagine standing up for myself against a bully/an abuser, or sharing my opinion with someone, I immediately see another person accusing me back or criticizing my opinion.

I have a nephew, about 10 months old. I was holding him in my arms and he started hitting his head on my face, and then was hitting his head with his hand. About a month back, my mother told me he was hitting his head on the wall. His mother was exposed to my narcissistic father when she was...
