We're only half way through the workshop, but I had a revelation that my pattern of relationships with narcissists (which have increased in devastation with each one) are due to growing up with a narcissistic mother. It's taken me 43 years to realize that's what she is, despite recognizing I've had several relationships with narcissists and a sociopath with similar behaviours. It's now clear to me that it's not that narcissists are drawn to me, but rather I find them appealing and notice them because they feel familiar. I'm hopeful that the various exercises will help my body find calm and equilibrium, but also potentially ease my neuropathy. I'm finding a great sense of peace and relief at the idea that I'm not broken and needing to be fixed, but rather that I need to listen to my body and let it find it's own path to healing.
