Are you a late diagnosed autistic female who has felt like a target for narcissists, psychopaths & other predators?💁🏻‍♀️😣

One of the reasons my spicy 🌶️ brain did a deep dive on this topic is because over the years of counseling survivors of narcissistic abuse, I’ve noticed a high correlation between neurodivergence & predatory vulnerability. I have developed tools for building a “Fortress of Protection” while also releasing shame and guilt & grieving the things that happened to you because you didn’t know who we were yet. (Or who THEY☠️were).

Have you ever been in a relationship where your opinions, ideas, and way of doing things were constantly under scrutiny? Did you alter who you were to stay safe?💁🏻‍♀️

This dynamic is common in fear based, controlling, toxic families and romantic relationships. This often also happens in corporate cultures where there is a cult like, stifling mentality. It’s so important to reacquaint yourself with your internal rhythms and dialogues and feel safe to express them and honor them.

It’s me, Gina, founder of Walk and Talks, LLC. Have you ever thought about how unhealthy it is for us to sit and see back-to-back clients all day? Walking sessions allow us (& our clients🙌🏼) to move and stay healthier in mind and body. We are also releasing stress and generating endorphins!🥳

I have developed an online certification training & am conducting workshops. This Saturday I will be in Portland in Laurelhurst Park. Visit walkandtalks.org to learn more or join our community. Link in bio.

Have you heard the latest scam?💁🏻‍♀️ First, they email you a jury summons, but it looks suspicious. About a week later, they text you a summons and again you report spam. Finally someone pretending to be a police officer calls & tells you that there’s a warrant for your arrest for failure to show up to jury duty. Did you ignore your jury summons?

For someone like me who has served on juries and has been subpoenaed as a therapist for court cases many times, arrests for failure to show up for jury duty are real, and have been one of my greatest fears. Because I recently moved, there was a probability that I could have been summoned and not realized it.

Predators prey on fear. Many of us female survivors still have this Blindspot. Even though I help others recover from “fawning,” I am also constantly managing a lifelong template and disposition to believe aggressive male authority figure figures. I will write about this in my next blog. They almost got me, but I managed to avoid disaster.🙌🏼🥳

To learn more about staying safe with predators, and to manage fawning tendencies, join my community. This is a little known part of narcissistic abuse recovery that must be addressed. Link in bio.⬆️

Did you know that many people are reluctant to explore new versions of themselves? Often fear is the reason: fear others will judge, see them as unstable, untrustworthy, or “out there.” Explore anyway! Those judgy people are boring, rigid, and missing out on a world full of exciting adventures of growth & change.

Walking psychotherapy sessions are all about freedom, self growth, & creative problem solving. Want to learn more? Join our community. Link in bio. 🚶🏻‍♀️🚶🏻‍♀️🌳🌞

We all feel overwhelmed sometimes. We can live in the stress or let go of it. The tasks are going to be there whether you’re overwhelmed or not. It’s just a lot easier to get things done when you refuse to give into the stress and calmly take one task at a time.
