Next time you’re triggered by your partners mood… I want you to try something that might feel very uncomfortable at first.

Especially if you grew up in a narcissistic, emotionally immature, abusive, or unpredictable home.

Because when you grew up having to monitor everyone else’s emotions, someone being “off” doesn’t just register as they’re having a bad day.

Your nervous system may immediately go:

What did I do?
Are they mad at me?
Should I ask what’s wrong?
How do I fix this?
Is something bad about to happen?

You learned to disconnect from yourself to stay connected to everyone else.

My Disconnect to Connect Method is about reversing that pattern.

Instead of abandoning yourself to monitor, manage, or regulate someone else, you learn to disconnect from what isn’t yours…and reconnect with what is.

Their mood is theirs.
Your nervous system is yours.
Their emotions are theirs to process.
Your job is to stay connected to YOU. 🫠

And yes… this can feel incredibly counterintuitive when hypervigilance once kept you safe.

Watch the video for what I want you to practice the next time someone you love is in a mood.

As if normalizing toxic behavior somehow makes it less harmful.

This one is dedicated to my dear clients… the black sheep, truth tellers, cycle breakers, and the ones finally saying: enough. 🖤

I see how hard you’re working to do things differently. I see you questioning patterns that were normalized for generations, setting boundaries that once felt impossible, and choosing yourself even when the guilt creeps in.

Healing can be painful and uncomfortable, but you’re doing it. I’m so proud of you. 🫶🏽

You couldn’t control the environment you grew up in. You couldn’t make an emotionally immature, narcissistic, addicted, or abusive parent become safe. You couldn’t control the family members who minimized it, enabled it, made excuses, or expected you to keep the peace.

But you can decide what happens next.

For me, becoming unavailable for my toxic, narcissistic, alcoholic and abusive father wasn’t about punishing him. It was about finally taking accountability for my own healing.

And maybe that’s why they call us the “black sheep.”

Because we stopped normalizing what everyone else was willing to tolerate.

You cannot change what happened to you…but you can change what happens through you.

You can set the boundary.
You can break the pattern.
You can choose yourself.
You can end the cycle.

And if doing things differently makes you the black sheep, maybe being the black sheep was never a bad thing. 🐑🖤

For the daughters who went no contact with their dads… this one hurts. ❤️‍🩹

That’s why he doesn’t know how I am. And sometimes I wonder what he tells people when they ask about me.

I imagine his story probably makes me the problem.

Maybe I’m “crazy,” difficult, dramatic, mentally ill, ungrateful, a liar - anything that allows him to avoid looking at why his daughter chose no contact.

And that used to hurt so much.

But the deepest grief isn’t even about what he says about me. It’s grieving the father I wish I had. The father I needed. The father I deserved. 🥺

When your dad is narcissistic, abusive, emotionally unavailable, an alcoholic, or struggling with addiction, you can spend years hoping that one day he’ll finally understand how much he hurt you.

Sometimes healing is accepting that accountability may never come… and grieving the relationship you should’ve had.

If you disappear when you’re struggling, this is for you.

One of the hardest times to reach out for support is when you’re actually in the middle of struggling.

If you grew up with a narcissistic, emotionally immature, or abusive parent, you may have learned early that your emotions were too much. That needing comfort made you a burden. So you adapted by keeping everything inside.

You isolate. You process alone. You wait until you’re “okay” again.

And THEN you tell someone, “Omg, last week was really hard.”

But healing can look like allowing someone safe to know while you’re still in it.

The problem? Sometimes we genuinely don’t know how to start that conversation. Your nervous system is activated, your thoughts are everywhere, and suddenly even sending a text feels overwhelming.

That’s why having one simple, go-to phrase can be so powerful.

In this video, I’m giving you the exact sentence I want you to try the next time your instinct is to disappear. 😶‍🌫️

You don’t have to explain everything. You just have to open the door.

If we haven’t met, I’m Renee Minx ✨ a licensed trauma therapist, childhood trauma + narcissistic abuse survivor, and I’ve spent the past 10 years helping folks heal these patterns.

5 narcissist parent guilt tactics 😵‍💫

This can be one of the BIGGEST barriers to healing.

I’ve worked with survivors of narcissistic and emotionally abusive parents for over 10 years, and I see this constantly.

You KNOW your parent hurt you.
You KNOW you need boundaries.
You KNOW the relationship is affecting you.

But then comes the guilt.

“They had a hard childhood too.”
“They don’t really have anyone else.”
“Maybe I’m being too harsh.”
“What if something happens to them?”

And suddenly, you’re abandoning yourself to take care of them… again.

Your empathy is beautiful. But when you were raised to feel responsible for your parent’s emotions, empathy can become the very thing that keeps you stuck.

You can understand their trauma AND acknowledge what they did to you.

You can feel compassion for them AND set boundaries.

You can feel sorry for them AND choose yourself.

The first one to say, “This isn’t normal.”
The first one to stop keeping the family secrets.
The first one to set boundaries, go low or no contact, get help, and question the patterns everyone else learned to accept.

In narcissistic or emotionally abusive families, the “black sheep” is often the person who refuses to keep playing their assigned role.

I know this personally. I was the scapegoat in my family. I was labeled as the problem when, in reality, I was often the one willing to name what was happening.

And eventually, I became the one willing to say: this cycle ends with me.

Being the cycle breaker can be incredibly lonely. You may lose relationships. People may misunderstand you. You may question yourself a thousand times.

But healing can also mean finally discovering who you are outside of the role your family gave you. ❤️‍🩹

If you’re ready to start that work, I created my Healing From Narcissistic Abuse online course specifically to help you understand these patterns, reconnect with yourself, regulate your emotions, build boundaries, and begin taking your power back. Link in bio.
