How Your Body Processes Narcissistic Abuse (NEW+Compilation)(LINK to FREE SEMINAR in Description)

My body paid the price.
For the silence.
For the restraint.
For the performance.
For the guilt that wasn’t mine.
For the pain that couldn’t be expressed.
For the boundaries that were never respected.
For the words I swallowed just to keep the peace.
For the role I had to play so I wouldn’t be cast out.
My body was the invisible battlefield where it all took place.
And now, it’s saying:
“Enough.”
It was my last standing soldier, trying to keep me alive.
Trying to protect me-even while being hurt.

I do believe you saved my life professor.

If you think he or she is a narcissist from the moment you have realise run for your life literally you will be running for your life.

I hate how much healing i need from the man i fell in love with. 😭

Absolutely after i suffered ptsd anxiety anerexia stomach problems paranoia and now stage 3 bc all contabuted by the stress of the narcissist 6 years later wish id of listened to my instincts the day i met him regardless im not bitter

So true-Disturbance in coordination and balance-difficulty walking and talking without any medical abnormal tests for 3 months. Only got better once I separated from the narcissist.

This may be among the most valuable videos I have seen. I am autistic. Before that (because I have never been able to have consistent care access as a financially struggling American), I was always told I had GAD. I don’t doubt that, ha! But I also have a diagnosis of somatic disorder. It made me RAGE when I saw it after the autism evaluation, which confirmed the autism but also gave me that. Why did I rage? Because women’s health symptoms are SO dismissed, but their impact on your life is SO real. My experience with the American medical system and trying to find answers further traumatized me, and I consider this label dangerous as it may make doctors even more likely to dismiss me as hysterical when I now have real conditions (I have basically no cartilage left, my low heart rate alerts are constantly going off and my POTS symptoms are wild). However, I wad raised in an EXTREMELY narcissistic environment, and it’s arguable that one of my parents may have pretty bad psychopathic traits. I was then physically assaulted in adulthood, too, because I was destitute and trying to survive after health issues stole my career. I have always seen this connection-but others always said I was just exaggerating. I have never lied or exaggerated my symptoms. And while my fears about how the medical establishment will never subside, as an autistic person, just hearing another person voice my experience, validate that experience, give an EXPLANATION that is TRUE is so healing. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love all your lectures (especially the quantum physics ones), but this one touched my soul. Thank you.

Prof. Vaknin you changed my life and your work helps me a lot. I'm doing Somatic Experience with my therapist. My ex-husband is terrorizing me since 2018. He is now with a very successful new supply but at the same time the abuse against me is rising. (We have a 8y. child together.) I was happy about the new supply and thought he will stop his abuse bc of the new supply, but the opposite is the case. Please explain this phenomenon to me. I am so exhausted! Thank you so much for your work!!!!

Thanks Vaknin your my reason for living at the moment. I HAVE BEEN DERANGED :(

Sometimes a thought passed in my mind " Is it possible my accidents since I met him, some of my belongings don't work any more, have to do with his energy? What myself wants to tell me? But I stayed. I stayed even when a friend sent me a video of you "Don't waste your love on the unworthy" . Even if I found the cause of all his attitudes, I stayed! And it was, it seems, necessary to hurt me in the core of my heart. The first time I stayed but ready to find the right moment. The second and last time was 11 days before. Now I am here, totally aware. I keep going Grateful for you and especially the video I saw the other day "Narcissist wants to fail him" . THANK YOU. Blessings.💥

Love your videos. Since watching u, I have realised my covert/vunerable passive aggressive narcissistic ex partner is actually also has psychopathy traits. If not an actual psychopath. His psycologist said to him, he is on the far end of being able to compartmentalise, and she didn't speak to many like him.
I left him, have a child to him, I predicted eveything he's done to date after separating. I think I caused a massive injury when I left, he got someone pregnant within a few months, and he's taking me to court for parenting matters when I am generous with letting our son go. Nasty nasty man. Would get enjoyment seeing me cry. Would tell me my perspective was wrong, would make threats to me, even said once ur gonna die for this, this will hurt u more than it will me. And if u met him, u would have absolutely no idea that he would be that way.

Thank you for sharing thease profound teachings. It is very usefull for my work within psychiatic clinical nursing!

Total knee replacement when I was 39 after being strong and healthy my entire life..One of the most invasive surgeries and difficult to recover from. My orthopedic surgeons could not figure it out. I didn't understand then, either... the inflammation destroyed my joints.

yeah, i came out of a narcisism/bordeline/troublesome family. my body is all fckd i havent been able to work\live life for nearly 2 years. i am going to intensive therapy. many people have all kinds of issues not knowing it came from a very hostile/volatile family.

For a while now I have watched your videos, spending many hours trying to understand myself and my abusers. I want to say the collapse is a crossroads - but where there should be two roads, there are many. Let's say, 10 of them. Yet 9 of them converge into the same dead end. There is one path available, it looks dustier than the others, perhaps that's why it's so hard to walk it - we have to embrace more difficulty at our lowest point and choose to walk forward. We naturally want an easier way out when he hit that collapse. What the narcissist ultimately wants is a parental figure - yet when the perfect parental figure appears, we dismiss it and sneer when the parental figure points to the 1 road out of 10 that we must walk. I pray you find the way.

You are a blessing ❤thank you so much!!!

Thank u for your work

Good info… thanks

Highly relevant for me.. thankyou for doing a video on this..

Thank you for your interesting and very helpful videos.
P.S. I like your sense of humour. And yes, your hair too. 🎉

The fact that FND is dxed by movement disorder specialist neurologists- but not treated by neurologists has resulted in patients that are given no explanation nor any treatment options, extending a message to the patient that my symptoms are not important or real enough to help me with.

I'll do my best to be at the seminar , dear Professor. Thank you for your help 🙏

Reminds me of the symptoms myself and my co multiple sclerosis survivors have dealt with or are dealing with

Hi, Sam! Do you think narcissists can benefit from psylocibin treatment? I found the cure for myself that way. My mother is a psychoanalist and has NPD. It took me 40 years to find out her diagnosis and it changed my life finally being able to understand what I went through. I still don’t know if I suffered from CPTSD or if I was all the way borderline. I’m so much better now.

I can't find the link to the seminar, it sounds awesome though, thank you.

will the free seminar that is coming up be streamed live so that I can watch it from abroad?

Sam , Could please do a video on this subject please
What it is like to have someone be groomed by a NPD , when you are a husband or child of the person
i was married to my wife who has undiagnosed BPD
She started a new job and was groomed by a NPD
I did know know what was going on and i watched my now ex wife get torn apart as a human being and also be not in reality
its very frightening caring for l someone who has lost reality
Her family , don’t care for her, never did
Currently , my step son and daughter , wont have anything to do with her anymore
As she was groomed and trauma bonded etc
i was the one the NPD got her to get rid off first
she cried when she got rid of me, like she had no choice
later she told me, when she flipped into reality for a short time
that it was get rid of me or death
like she had no choice
then it was onto getting rid of the children after me
she does strange things like push the children away , the opposite of what a normal Mum would do in a break up
i think my Ex has started to show signs of NPD also
Grandiosity etc , something she was not like before

I wish you were my mentor lol
