Whatever you focus on will expand. And so it just makes the pain worse and worse and worse and very crushing.
Picture this: you’ve just been ghosted or discarded by someone with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or a narcissist. The pain is unbearable, and your mind can’t stop fixating on them. Sound familiar? In this episode, Counselor A.J. Mahari delves into the heart-wrenching agony of breakups with BPD and narcissistic exes. With over 30 years of experience, Mahari knows that this intense focus on the ex can spiral into a vicious cycle of emotional and physical distress.
She explains how this hyperfocus can lead to a hyperaroused state, making it feel like you're stuck in a constant fight-or-flight mode. It's not just emotionally draining; it's dangerous. Mahari discusses the importance of breaking this cycle and seeking professional help to navigate the stormy seas of recovery. She also touches on how childhood wounds and codependency can exacerbate the pain, making it even harder to move on. But it’s not all doom and gloom.
Mahari offers practical advice on shifting your focus to start the healing process. She emphasizes the individuality of recovery and the crucial role friends and family play in supporting you through this journey. If you’re feeling lost and overwhelmed, this episode is a must-listen. It’s a compassionate guide to understanding your pain and taking the first steps toward healing.
