By talking about the issues, by talking about what happened to you, by talking about your experiences, you get some feedback, you get validation. A part of it is resolved, but a major part of it stays stuck. As I said, this is trauma, and trauma cannot be talked.
Ever find yourself stuck in a loop, replaying the same painful memories over and over? In this episode, Danish Bashir, a seasoned expert in narcissistic abuse recovery, tackles the frustrating phenomenon of rumination. He explains that this mental replay is actually a trauma response, a way your brain tries to make sense of the chaos and drama inflicted by a narcissist. Your mind perceives past events as threats, triggering a freeze response that keeps you trapped in your thoughts.
But don't worry, there are ways to break free from this cycle. Danish shares practical techniques to help you shift focus from your mind to your body. By recognizing physical sensations linked to rumination and engaging in activities like walking or running, you can start to release stored trauma energy. He also discusses the benefits of trauma-informed yoga and journaling as tools for healing.
However, Danish emphasizes the importance of working with a trauma-informed therapist to guide you through this journey. Remember, healing takes time and self-compassion. Tune in to learn how to break the toxic cycle of rumination and take your first steps towards recovery.
