Peer-review and irreverent dark humor meet trauma recovery, without the "enforced bright sides." Let's talk about the complicated experience of rectifying a life built on trauma and relearning to be human... better than the people who raised you. You aren't alone, damaged, doomed, or dead yet. But with all the grit and gumption necessary to keep growing, you might be a real MF.

4.1. Making of a Vulnerable Narcissist
A big 'nouncement; so long TMFRS! Then let's talk about what constitutes a VulNarc versus "a person with CPTSD." Where does the chronic manipulation come from? How are recovery resources used for trauma-unhealing? What's up with the hostility and antagonism?
.
Lots to cover in this mashup of "time, space, and energy" meets "VulNarcs" and "trauma-selves."

4.3. Healing with "Adaptive Narcissism" and Uniqueness | Leveraging Stigma for Permissive self-Healing
"Just feel good about your authentic self and don't let anyone wreck your recognition of specialness." Right. Let's talk about what may be holding us back from achieving this safe, centered, self-supportive, resilience-boosting psychological station, and the easiest way to achieve the "healthy self" that's never been otherwise defined. Adaptive Narcissism. Plus, we'll be discussing how AN relates to VN and GN; reiterating the truth that going small with your self is not the answer to trauma recovery.

4.4. Pathological Structuring of Narcissists (Or, No Integrity without Integration)
They'll shake your hand while pissing on your leg, plead and then pulverize promises, and generally give the sense that they're one hundred people who share a face. But why?
Let's talk about narcissist personality structuring that ranges from neurotic to psychopathic, but never hits the mark of "maturity." Meanwhile, creating the condition I've titled simply: There is no Integrity without Integration.

3.2. Healing self-contradicting brains with Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy
Ever feel like you've got a whole household of people contained in one skull? Fighting, just like they did in your family home? Turns out, that's normal.
Today, let's talk about Internal Family Systems and the roles cemented in your brain. Protectors, Exiles, Distractors, and their vicious cycles that leave us feeling out of control of our own noggins. Plus, how to work with them, instead of hosting raging battles inside forever.

Customer Reviews
Excellent podcast
I have been listening for a while now. She is hilarious, love her quirkiness and intelligent, helpful and amazing sessions.
Incredibly well researched and insightful
Insight after insight into CPTSD, delivered with dry and irreverent humour. It’s like being in a group project with the smartest girl in the class doing all the research, but if you try even a little bit you get an A. Can’t recommend the blanket fort (Patreon) enough either.
Funny, friendly, real and relatable info on CPTSD
We are lucky to live in a time when CPTSD is recognised and a lot of research is available, but jeeeeez that research can be dry. Jess provides the facts, the research, real-life experience and a liberal dose of wit and humour so that the info makes sense to us in everyday terms. I GET IT the way Jess explains it. And I always get a smile on my face too. My understanding of CPTSD has taken off like a rocket since finding TMFRS.
