The In-Between | It’s Not Normal | Ep. 19

The In-Between - the name I’ve used to describe the dark, overwhelming and directionless time that comes after you’ve started to realize the trauma but before you’ve started to heal. You’re aware of the more negative behaviors you’ve witnessed growing up and maybe even started to mimic in your own life, you’re starting to unlearn, but you don’t yet feel ready to start implementing the newer, healthier behaviors you’re learning, so you’re left not feeling much of anything, numb. It’s a scary time full of uncertainty, especially if you don’t know what it is or that it has an end, and we talk all about it in this week’s episode.  0:00 Intro 0:58 You Are Not An Extension of Your Parents 3:25 Manipulative Narcissistic Tactics 7:07 Power in Perspective 9:06 The In-Between 11:30 Unlearning Behaviors 17:23 Numbness/Understanding What Not To Do 23:27 The Next Step 28:39 A Relapse of Bad Behavior 30:46 Light at the End of the Tunnel 38:16 Outro
