Rebecca P. Fox On Narcissism, Trauma, Toxic Relationships and Rewiring Your Trauma to Heal and Take Control

This week, we are joined by Narcissism and trauma healing expert Rebecca P Fox. A Psychotherapist and accomplished author making waves with her viral content around this complex subject.

We delve deep as Rebecca shares her own traumatic journey with brutal honesty, which has led her to where she is today. Moving forward from childhood trauma with a narcissistic mother, the unresolved trauma inevitably led to more toxic and highly abusive relationships. This is why Rebecca wants to prevent others from experiencing the same.

Narcissism is increasingly prevalent in today's power-hungry society. Rebecca explains why we need to build on our emotional intelligence to ensure we are always in control. She is on a mission to help people who have experienced trauma regain their power, but also to help us identify the red flags and avoid potentially toxic relationships from the start.

A fascinating insight into a hugely important subject.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

I was very different to how I am now, I was a high-functioning stress addict with zero self-esteem and confidence, it was like my whole identity was stripped away.

All of us suffer some kind of level of childhood trauma and it’s the trauma that is the cause of our symptomatology, emerging as anxiety, poor sleep, depression and stress.

When you can understand the root cause, the emotions and your mental capacity you can eradicate a lot of your issues.

If a child isn’t nurtured it creates a high degree of trauma and there is the potential for personality disorder further down the line.

We all have narcissist traits to some degree but a narcissist is someone who has a complete lack of empathy for anyone else.

When you offer to help a friend or family member you become a saviour and a threat to a narcissist, a narcissist doesn’t want this and will try to remove the individual from their location and network to isolate them.

All you can do is listen, listen and ask if they are okay, letting them know you are there if they want to talk, sound boarding is very powerful.

If you have friends or family who know and love you they will know that you are in a toxic relationship and pick up on the changes.

You are not alone and there are lots of options out there, people can support you and things can be different.

BEST MOMENTS

‘The process was a lot of tears and a lot of pain but it completely transformed me’

‘For a victim understanding what is happening to them is very difficult and articulating it can be even harder’

‘Talk to the right people and understand what is happening to you so that you can understand how to heal’
