This therapist on YT was recommened to me by my own therapist. Due to finances, I can't go to counselling as much as I'd like, and she was good enough to recommend some online sources.
When I watched the one on covert narcissism, I wanted to vomit. It was so traumatic and so familiar.
Two nights ago I was working in the garage, and watched this one. I had the same reaction.
This was my life.
The constant beratings and escalation despite everything I did to quell things AND the attacks on my masculinity and my maleness... "You're just a lapdog."
And the very early intense feelings, the early intense physical connection that just..... stopped.... And was then used as a ploy ever after.
She summarized 25 years of my life in 10 minutes.
