Why don’t I ever feel like I’m enough? HOW DO I CHANGE MY LIFE?! Then it’s time to grab your coffee, or wine, or whatever you need and curl up on the couch with these real and inspiring conversations with Teri Anderson of Digging Through Dominoes. Don’t be surprised if you see glimpses of yourself as Teri shares her very real (sometimes hard to believe) stories. From childhood neglect to abusive relationships, she’s seen her fair share of hardships and KNOWS the feelings of unworthiness, hopelessness and despair. But she fought her way through to where she is today – fighting the good fight to live a good life, learning about herself and how to love herself. More importantly, she wants to share that hope and optimism that she’s gained through enduring the hardest of times. In a world where depression and anxiety are growing, and PTSD is finally being recognized, we all need a safe place to go and be heard and understood. Digging through Dominoes is that place. It’s the place to be if you’ve experienced any sort of mental, physical or emotional trauma. It’s a safe haven that welcomes you in, but isn’t afraid to talk about what hurts the most. The stories may be hard but they are REAL and there is hope at the end of the day! Teri’s mission is to let you know that you’re safe, you’re definitely not alone, and to never give up because there is always hope!

WOW! I didn't expect this one but it came at the right time and correlated nicely with Chapter 7 of The Emotionally Absent Mother by Jasmin Lee Cori on neglect and abuse.
Listen to what happened when a family member opened up her can of abuse with me.
The video version on the YouTube version of Digging Through Dominoes should be up tomorrow with her scathing, self centered, remarks, that I took screen shots of, inserted. We don't want any miscommunication, as I've noticed as common in my mother's family.
I'm grateful though. Her attitude showed me the complexity of the environment my mother had grown up in.
This video does not diagnose anyone with any disorder, only points out similarities with Jasmin Lee Cori's book, The Emotionally Absent Mother.
It made me see the situation my Mother grew up in differently and how she, and her sisters, in my opinion, were scarred.
Healthy people just don't do this.

A recent event shook me so much I wondered if a person can have too much therapy?
A recent event shook me so much I wondered if a person can have too much therapy?
After the events unfolded I was in a near panic attack, searching for answers and wishing for normal, whatever normal is.
I felt the emotion, the body memories, from decades past enveloping me. Had I taken my therapy too far?

It was a lazy morning as I scrolled through my YouTube feed. There were three videos that caught my attention.
One was entitled, "Weird Things Only Narcissists Do," by Rebecca Zung. The next was, "When Narcissists Paint You As Unhinged," by Dr. Ramani. The last, feel was a true gem. I thought about it all day. It was by Jordi Universe and entitled, "To You, A Year From Now." Jordi's message hit me hard and stayed with me throughout the day. It was compelling, beautifully done and asked the one question that leads to many more, "What if?"
Here are links to the videos:

What began as an episode about scapegoating turned into the story of my encounter with an extremely toxic narcissist and the friend that quashed it all.
These are the messages the narcissist sent my friend in the attempt to destroy me and was surprised when my friend told her she knew her game.
