Growing up within a narcissistic family system is (likely to be) highly traumatising. Navigating the system as an adult and existing in the world with this as your norm has its own consequences, which can also be highly traumatic. If you're reading this you likely confronted the word 'narcissism' and then you likely came across C-PTSD or complex trauma (trauma upon trauma upon trauma etc). I'm not sure if this word does justice to the level of trauma actually faced.
Experiences and circumstances do vary and therefore levels of trauma vary but one thing is usually true: you have unprocessed trauma. Even if you are being further traumatised by your current circumstances, you have unprocessed trauma.
Unprocessed trauma (of a high degree) is not good for your body. It's not good for you.
Tackle your trauma 💪
