Because we didn’t understand the autonomic nervous system and the biology of the body, many people believe they’re lazy. In private practice, I can’t tell you how many people I worked with felt flawed or broken because they just couldn’t do simple things. And showering felt impossible. This is because their nervous system is dysregulated.
Sometimes the shame is made worse by family or partners who ask “why can’t you just do x” or
“you’re not even trying.”
When our nervous system is so overwhelmed and so pushed beyond our window of tolerance, many of us go into freeze. Freeze is the body’s protective state.
In freeze, our muscles title. Blood flow goes onto to our virtual organs. Heart rate slows. The body shuts down focusing only on survival.
Our thoughts mirror this nervous system state. We feel apathetic, hopeless, and exhausted from the toll this takes on the body. Our voice even changes (more monotone) and our eyes glaze over. This often looks like “dead eyes” — where we blink less and our eyes have little movement.
If you’re stuck in freeze, the first step is to understand your body is trying to protect you. A warm bath, a short walk, or placing pressure on your chest can help your nervous system regulate. Don’t overload yourself with a long to do list or let your thoughts spiral. Instead focus on ONE small task (brushing your teeth, washing a few dishes, sitting in the sun for 10 minutes) and say to yourself: “I’m proud of myself for every small step I take.”

Be "Boring" in Your 40s - and Watch Your Life Transform
The secret to staying youthful, sharp, and strong after 40 isn't in trends — it's in consistency.

These "boring" habits are what actually keep your body and hormones balanced
Wake up early — align with your natural rhythm
💧 Drink 2L of water daily — hydrate your cells
🏋🏼Lift weights 3x/week - build longevity muscle
Walk 8k steps/day - boost metabolism + mood
Eat 30-50g protein/meal — support hormones & repair

Sleep 😴 by 10PM - let your body heal overnight
It's not discipline. It's self-respect.

Be boring. Be consistent. Be unstoppable.

✨ Nothing in this life happens by accident. The universe is alive, vibrating with energy — and every moment, every encounter, every challenge is part of that rhythm.

When things don’t go as planned, it isn’t random. It’s a lesson, a nudge, an alignment meant to guide us closer to who we are meant to be. The sooner we stop resisting and start listening, the faster we grow. 🌌

Everything has meaning. Every experience carries wisdom. The faster we embrace the lesson, the smoother the journey becomes. 💫

Narcissistic abuse survivors hate having visitors at their home because, for many of you, home is the only place where you truly feel safe. It's the one space you've fought to reclaim, the one corner of the world that belongs to you and no one else. The idea of having to entertain or accommodate someone in that space can feel like a violation. Even well-meaning visitors can unknowing bring in energy that feels intrusive or destabilizing.

With narcissists, everything was always about appearances. Hosting guests was never about genuine connection. It was about putting on a show, keeping up the illusion, or playing the role of the happy family. You now reject anything that reminds you of those hollow performances. The pressure to make things look perfect doesn't feel polite it feels suffocating. You no longer want to fake smiles or pretend you're happy just to keep up appearances when someone comes over. Visitors bring noise, conversation, and unspoken expectations.
Even simple small talk can be draining for someone who has spent years living in emotional survival mode. You have learned to guard your peace like your life depends on it, because for a long time, it actually did.

A single comment about the decor, cleanliness, or daily routine can stir up deep shame. Narcissists used the home as a stage to criticize, control, and belittle. So now, you fear that even the most innocent observations might carry hidden judgment or subtle disapproval.
