Dr. Rhoberta Shaler - Help for Toxic Relationships

7 ай бұрын

You want someone--at least one someone--to hear you, see you, believe you. So you share. Sadly, that often turns into oversharing, leaving you a little red-faced. if you fully embarrassed a little later, right? "Why did I do that?"
There are good reasons you overshare. Don't beat yourself up for it. Listen in to understand the "whys" and stick around for the "why nots!" so you can make positive changes in what you share and with whom. You can stop oversharing, and still be heard when you talk with the right people.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS EPISODE:
The longing to be known
The desire to have an ally
Trusting the wrong person for the right reasons
Disappointed and betrayed while looking for a friend
Taking care of yourself in ways you didn't know you'd need to
* * Remember, narcissists and other toxic people come in all genders and ages * *
and toxic relationships can be at home, at work, at play... with your parent, boss, spouse, sibling, friend, co-worker.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for this message, oversharing is definitely a " no no". I have fallen into that trap more than once, only to get burned. Wisdom and discernment is needed with people, as most are not safe! Blessings be upon you, Dr. Shaler.

I hope you're well Dr Roberta. This video hit home for me. I have never been an over sharer and after leaving an extremely abusive marriage where the abusive ex and his family made me out to be problematic because I refused to over share with them for years gaslighting me trying to make me believe there was something wrong with me because I didn't want to be a part of their narc cult after years of abuse. they like to pretend they are a close family when all they are is enmeshed and dysfunctional, this video validated me so much. They have tried to get my loved ones to agree with them and tried to turn my loved ones into flying monkeys.the ones who truly know and love me didn't fall for it. They keep trying to smear me and project all of my ex behaviours onto me. I will keep my head up and will not let them win in their attempt to destroy me.

I disagree with why someone overshares. I think sometimes it’s not about gaining a firmed or realionships and just venting so you don’t literally explode when you carry such a heavy weight it’s very toxic to carry it alone and prayer and writing doesn’t help. You need to share it.

When all else fails, and there is no one...there is always that soul inside of yourself that would really like to discuss things. Usually your soul knows exactly what you need, , there is understanding there, and it really is what you are wanting... your own self is enough until you are ready to venture out. You are your own best friend.

I loved this video. I’m recovering from PTSD..before I knew I had it I trauma dumped in a salon to a hairdresser. I couldn’t understand why I did it because I know better. I can see now how starved I was for emotional air. I felt awful and she was angry with me. I’ll never do that again. This was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thanks ❤

@ktpuss 7 ай бұрын

So sorry 😢 and it’s sad to say i remember doing exactly this a couple of years ago so I understand the feeling, it truly can be like a sudden compulsion to share. I went to a new hairdresser who must’ve thought me crazy and so I’ve no idea why I dumped on her, for almost the whole 2 hours plus! I felt stupid and embarrassed and started to apologise and make jokes about it but i was cringing when I left, and obviously never went back. If you’re naturally previously someone who was bright and sociable and your current life doesn’t allow for this then I think that’s why so don’t feel bad, it can be good to share but I just make sure when I do it’s with newer people outside the area who can’t know certain others with a connection to me/family and I’m almost paranoid about ensuring this, it’s really affecting my life and family relationships (and my partner’s).

@@ktpuss Aww, you’re so nice to share with me. I’m fortunate and I recently went through an intensive course of CPT to heal PTSD. It was challenging and required a lot of reading and worksheets. Going in I had no idea if it would help. But it did! I’m slowly coming back to myself (as I continue to use the process every day). I learned from the therapy that PTSD can cause a compulsion to overshare when in emotion turmoil. That helped me understand and be kinder to myself. I hope you are doing well and have a good day.

@@miacaruso7631 that all sounds great 😊 and also thanks for sharing that with me, I have come to realise I think I may be suffering cptsd made worse by some recent family things and grief. I had looked briefly at doing another YTuber’s work/daily practice so am wondering if you did that one perhaps. It’s great to know it can get you back on track. I started to try to meditate daily as a start but suppose I must do some therapy before I’m lost forever. I wish you continued healing and peace x

May God bless you for continuing to help complete strangers for free when you are clearly struggling physically. I know God already sees but I will pray for God to take special note of this. I know God hears me. If you ever wonder if you make a difference know that you do. Your wise words have helped me to cope from an abusive relationship I just escaped 4 months ago. When I left I felt like there was no love in the world. I ended up getting together with my abuser because I was lonely and looking for true love in the first place. My abuser lovebombed me and proceeded to play mind games on me. Once the abuse ended it felt as if my initial fear that love and altruism is an illusion in this world is true. Yet the few people like you stand out as beacons of light and altruism. God is love and you clearly have love inside your heart to be willing to help others even as you struggle. I hope God heals you. I didn't know if he will but I know you will be spiritually blessed for this. Never doubt you have made a huge difference. Your actions are selfless and are imprinted in my mind forever. Love can exist in the human heart. Thank you! You are an inspiration!

Good morning Dr Shaler A very relevant topic that your talking about. I've been guilty of over sharing, and it has ended badly. I've lost more friends sadly who I thought I could confide in and share my story about my Hijackal. At this stage I've now stopped doing it. It's a hard lesson to learn but even now I have to carry on. Things seem a bit hopeless, but I still believe they will work out eventually. You just feel desperate and isolated and almost compelled to share, but we don't go there anymore. Thanks for your knowledge as always and hope you have loved ones that are caring for you. Sending love from the UK xxx

@sheilawilliams9080 7 ай бұрын

It's so sad especially when they are your parents or adult child and difficult to comprehend that there is no love or empathy. When you do meet someone who appears interested and a kindred soul, it's like opening the door of an overstuffed closet and all the piled up hoarded mess comes tumbling out. You can't stop it and your left with the feelings of shame and empty.

I went No Contact w my older sister a few months ago and feel it was the best decision. We were not a good fit. Pretty much our entire relationship consisted of her calling me about once a month. Many times 2 or 3 months would go by. It felt like she was just calling to feel like "a good big sister" (she is 11 years older). Strangley, she and my identical twin have a bond bc they married brothers and have the same last name. It didn't turn out too good for my twin as her husband was a "fast lane" type of guy who did drugs and died suddenly at age 49. A tragedy happened when I was 17 in our family... that was 31 years ago. My older sister has Never admitted she needs help. NEVER encouraged or cheered me on my healing journey. She is currently wondering why I am not answering (even reading) her messages... Put 2 and 2 together, I don't need to explain ANYTHING!
