Title: I-so-late: Key MO therapy for nar-cyst
Post by: Anonymous on February 09, 2005, 10:11:09 PM

Is isolation the chemotherapy for a N? Is it too late for their victims? Sometimes the work of healing seems overwhelming. Does it help to isolate some?  I'm curious... what do you think?

Is isolation the chemotherapy for a N? dunno

Is it too late for their victims? i must say never - i'm a huge believer in God and therapy with a qualified therapist.  i don't think it's ever too late.

Sometimes the work of healing seems overwhelming. Yes.  Almost always in the beginning.  

Does it help to isolate some?  the N or the victim?  Not the victim, I don't think.  That's what communities like this are all about.  As far as isolating the N see your first question.  dunno.

Isolation for an N would be their undoing I believe.  No one to adore them.

There better be hope for n victims or I may as well jump off the bridge now.  I also have a strong belief in God and the power of good therapy.  People have recovered from much worse events in their lives and gone on to do great things, i.e., Holocaust survivors.

Hang in there, it does get better (I think!).

Title: Hope

There is always hope as long as you are alive.  Finding and keeping your connection to that hope is tough, especially for people who've been abused or neglected like most (all?) of us here.

Thanks to all of you responding with hope. It touches me with a warm feeling to share pain with those who "just know" what it means to struggle daily. My N connection changed who I was supposed to be. I feel this to my bones. Most of all, I search for what is true. I wish night vision glasses would help with the darkness.  I try to find the best of who I might have been and what I need to do to be that person. The problem is... my best may never be good enough for me.  It's really hard but --thank goodness for the support and care of a wonderful therapist (and others).
