You were never “too sensitive.”
You were emotionally alone in moments you needed support.
Your feelings were always valid. 🤍

Self-doubt didn’t come from nowhere — it came from environments where you weren’t believed, supported, or emotionally held.
You’re unlearning it now, and that’s powerful. 🤍

You were taught to keep everyone else afloat even if it meant drowning yourself, Narcissistic abuse trains you to disappear.
Healing teaches you to rise

If this landed, it’s because a part of you finally feels seen.
You didn’t imagine it.
Your body remembered what your mind had to minimise. 💛

When you grow up with a narcissistic parent, doubt becomes a survival strategy.
You learn to question yourself before they can.
You learn to shrink so their emotions stay big.
You learn to apologise to stay safe.

But none of this was ever about you being “too sensitive” or “dramatic.”
It was conditioning.

Healing is the slow, steady remembering of your own truth.

If this hit home, you’re not alone — and you’re not imagining it.
Save this for validation on the days you forget. 💛

When a parent cries about the “hurt” caused by their adult child, it can feel confusing even guilt-inducing.
But tears don’t automatically mean accountability.
A healthy parent reflects, repairs, and shows up.
A narcissistic parent performs pain while avoiding responsibility.

If you grew up around emotional manipulation, it makes sense that you doubt yourself.
You’re not wrong for questioning the story, you’re finally seeing the dynamic clearly.

You deserve relationships rooted in honesty, repair, and mutual respect.

✨ If this resonates, you’re not alone.
Save this for later or share with someone who might need it.

had a team weekend away in London. We spent sometime at the Narcissistic Abuse Conference so encouraging to see this topic being discussed more. It’s especially encouraging seeing solicitors with more understanding of how narcissists play the justice system and how raising awareness can only help victims more.
We also spent some time bonding, chatting, future planning, sharing ideas and talking podcasts. All I can say is watch this space 🙌🙌
