79: What if...?

When you are suffering through betrayal trauma, narcissistic abuse, or the end of your relationship, it is easy to start catastrophizing both your present and future. Dire scenarios of doom and gloom keep you awake all night. If you imagine all the worse scenarios happening, it will be easier to deal with them when they do. Right? Not necessarily. Statistically, there is as much chance of the best happening as the worse. After not sleeping for almost an entire year while imaging my awful future, I started to play a game I called what if...? And everything about my outlook and future shifted. #alifefolded #laineycathan #positivevibes #positiveenergy #positivemindset #positivethoughts #manifest #manifesting #manifestyourdreams #manifestyourlife #manifestlove #ldsmom #ldswomen #lds #catastrophizing #catastrophicthinking #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #divorce #IfMyWoundsWereVisible #narcissisticabuse #narcissism #emotionalabuse #psychologicalabuse #gaslighting #healingfromabuse #narcissisticabusesurvivor #relationshiptrauma #traumahealing #selftrust #healingjourney #mentalhealthawareness #innerhealing #toxicrelationships #resiliencebeyondnarcissism #nervoussystemhealing #manipulation #manipulationtactics #manipulationawareness #narcissist #narcissisticabuseawareness #narcissisticabuserecovery #narcissistic #narcissistsaredangerous #gaslightingrecovery #gaslightingawareness #gaslightingsurvivor #gaslighting101 #addictionawareness
