Join me and Yitz Epstein, a Jewish narcissistic abuse and relationship life coach and healer, founder of the Magnolia Healing Center, creator of Narcissism Recovery Podcast. Yitz specializes in helping people overcome childhood trauma and abuse, specifically narcissistic abuse as well as narcissistically abusive relationships. Yitz is from the Los Angeles Metropolitan Area, California, USA.
Highlights of our conversation:
- No child grows and is left unscathed by childhood trauma.
- Trauma is emotions that never got to be processed – they never got the space, the freedom, and environment to be felt and processed.
- Childhood abuse is not always intentional. Sometimes it is the lack of unconditional love; the lack of childhood needs being met - child validation, attainment, acceptance – just the need to develop our sense of self.
- Childhood trauma/abuse – means that there was a need, whatever that need was, the child (whatever the environment) didn’t get the psychological, spiritual and emotional nutrients to develop a sense of self. Because of that, the fundamental core (or life) of the child is affected.
- Adults are able to correct childhood trauma/abuse even though it happened a long time ago.
- Everything is a relationship – even if there’s no relationship, we have a relationship with ourselves – our higher self.
- When parents are wounded, they don’t know how to meet their needs. Parents may wound their children in the same way they were wound.
- Childhood trauma often begins before birth, that is, some emotional wounds do not only occur in childhood but even before birth.
- Narcissism is psychological and spiritual warfare.
- Emotions are not weak or fragile, they just are. They are just messengers; we need to understand what they are telling us. Healing is inviting our lives without judgment.
- If you are in emotional pain, sit there with it, acknowledge it, accept it, love yourselves through it. You cannot run from yourself.
