Tapping or EFT (emotional freedom techniques) involves tapping on meridian points it's like acupuncture it releases trapped energy.
Now I want to say when it was first suggested to me I though 'what a load of rubbish!'.

But it works really well.

There are lots of free videos on you tube. The best I've found is Brad Yates he's really good. And it only takes a few minutes to do.
Give it a try ☺

A friend who for years has been doing meridian tapping, among a lot of other modalities sent me a very interesting link. Its w video of a woman who demonstrates many different methods of interrupting or redirecting thought patterns. They are very simple. One that she demonstrates is meridian tapping that has been abbreviated. I have the link for the YouTube video. But do not know if posting it here is allowed. I tried to find the video through a Google search and could not. But the YouTube link works. I'm think you might be interested in some of the modalities.
Thanks for this!

One of whom was a psychologist. Yes, it seems mother is classic NPD. Nothing slight about her symptoms.

After this last visit with her I need to find some support for myself. I am looking for a support forum specifically for relatives of those who have NPD. Since I am a member of this website community I thought I would start looking here.

If anyone knows of an active forum for relatives, I would love to hear about it. Thank you, Grace
Out of the Fog forums.

I spend much of my forum time there. I show occasional "traits" of a PD, but am mostly just getting fleas from my Cluster B loved ones. They have given me a layman's diagnosis which my long-time therapist disagrees wholeheartedly with, but still I came here to learn and help with the anxiety and depression that comes after the abuse. I learn about myself and about my PD loved ones here at psych central.

At OOTF, it is strictly for those of us struggling with PD individuals in our lives to try and understand how to cope and take care of ourselves. You will find the support you're looking for there.

People seldom ever believe me about my mother, because on the outside you'd never know. She's charming as hell, polite, engaging, social butterfly, etc etc... but it's all an act. Underneath she's colder than ice and she has a unique flavor of sadism.
I know this an old comment and I dont have NPD (i was curious) but I wanted to 200% agree with this! My family, nor does anyone, doesnt believe that my mother with a great "real world face" could have possiblity not only abused me but along side my step father raised me in a cult.

"You're sweet mother?" Even my dad whom has been divorced from her since I was 12 says "she wasnt 'like that' when i was married to her"....ummmm, dad, SHE CHANGED!
