Depression after narcissistic abuse is not just a burden; it's a messenger. In this episode, Danish Bashir, a Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Professional and Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, dives into the depths of post-abuse depression and its hidden purpose. Danish argues that the sadness and grief you're experiencing are not just random emotions but ancient pains passed down through generations. He suggests that these feelings are trying to tell you something crucial about your past and your family's history.
Danish explains that most people, including narcissists, avoid their pain because it's too overwhelming. However, facing this pain can be a transformative experience. By sitting with your emotions and honouring them, you can break the cycle of trauma that has plagued your family for generations. Danish emphasises that this process doesn't require you to fix everything at once. Instead, he advises taking small, manageable steps to expand your 'window of tolerance'—the amount of distress you can handle without feeling overwhelmed.
The episode also tackles the common coping mechanisms people use to escape their pain, such as addictions and unhealthy habits. Danish criticises the 'pill dispensary attitude' of merely medicating symptoms without addressing the root cause of depression. He believes that true healing comes from understanding your trauma at a deep level and using your pain as a catalyst for change. Danish encourages you to see your depression as a sign to find your true self and connect with your intuition.
He stresses the importance of asking why these feelings are present and what they reveal about your childhood and ancestral history. By doing so, you can begin to heal not just yourself but also break the cycle of trauma for future generations. This episode is a must-listen for anyone struggling with depression after narcissistic abuse. Danish's compassionate and insightful approach offers a new perspective on dealing with deep-rooted emotional pain.
So, why not take a step towards healing and give this episode a listen?
