trauma
At its core, trauma can be thought of as the psychological wounds that persist, even when the physical ones are long gone.
Who Are You?
My name is Elizabeth Woods. I am a survivor of child abuse, and life changing trauma. I survived one of the worst childhoods you can ever imagine and I have written my story in a memoir: The Sex-Offender’s Daughter, available on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Sex-Offenders-Daughter-Story-Survival-Against/dp/B0CJ4FJQQ2

The Stages of Realizing Your Parent Is a Covert Narcissist
First, you are so deeply conditioned to believe they sacrificed their whole world for you. So indoctrinated by their self-proclaimed martyrdom that it becomes unimaginable that they could possess any traits of narcissism inside of them. You simply don’t see it. Some people, unfortunately, never will.

The Enemy in my Head
An enemy that lives in my head. Saying I’m not good enough, asking me what’s wrong, why can’t you do anything right. A lot of times, it can become evil. Waking up is hard enough with the inner critic at times, but once I close my eyes, the inner critic becomes alive; it shows me all my fears and my memories visually, and sometimes I wonder if she is angry at me. I used to think everything I did was wrong, like I shouldn’t do or say this or that. She made me scared to speak, thinking the world was against me. Sometimes I feel like she was right, but looking back now, I didn’t cause the problem; I was minding my own business. People came to me and were just mean, and that made my inner voice louder.

NARCISSISTS FORCE YOU INTO ALIGNMENT WITH GOD
There is an ancient mystery: if God is everything, where does the darkness belong? In the beginning, there was darkness—and God said, Let there be light. The universe itself seems to speak in this language: light and shadow, death and renewal, creation and dissolution. Even the yin-yang carries the paradox: each contains a seed of the other.

Escaping the Ground
You pretended to be nice by day By dawn You showed me the villain in you Yelling at night Causing arguments I got confused about who you truly were I just wanted you to protect me Treat me like a daughter But instead You treated me like I was invisible
