I am anxiously awaiting my name to be called. I never know when it is going to happen or why. I can’t leave even though I am uncomfortable…so, I wait.\nSitting in that unique, imaginary waiting room evokes a mix of emotions…many of which are similar to our experiences of waiting in a Doctor’s Surgery.\nListen as I explore what sitting with ongoing trauma can look and feel like for children of narcissistic parents.\nDealing with narcissistic parents doesn’t come with a time line or specific treatment plan. There isn’t a pill, an ointment or a plaster big enough for the deep wounds.\nIt is one reason that the healing process is so unique.\nThe good news is that I can be sitting in the waiting room and still live a very happy, hopeful and fulfilling life. The reality is painful and unfair - for sure - but we can choose to be happy.  ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/SL0qKu0zsTjObAtO1hoeo9X8r4dZ5A-wbnMJpgZ2VQA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yYjIx/NDA3YzllN2UxYTQy/YTI5MTY4ZDQ2YmU1/MGMxYy5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
