My ex husband gave me the silent treatment for years it was the most awful thing to live with i ended up leaving then he turned very nasty

Added insult to injury is bystanders passiveness/uselessness.

Lol

Or.. all of the above

Can you talk some time about differential diagnosis for ASD versus CPTSD?

Yes.

Hey Ingrid, thanks for putting out this types of material. I've been watching Patrick Teahan and your videos (also ordered your book, should arrive today) and it's been incredible support material together with weekly therapy sessions with someone whose focus is c-ptsd. It's highly inspiring to see from you that it's possible to get better, hope one day I can be inspire others in their recovery too.

You are awesome, Ingrid! I love this 😂

This makes so much sense for what I'm currently doing with a guy! I also had a narcissistic father!

So sorry to hear

What I want to say most of all was what an amazing job you did on the book. I’m proud of you for coming forward. We need you so keep up the good work.

Thank you!

My father alternately ignored/rejected me (the silent treatment, invalidation, withdrawing financial support) and treated me like his girlfriend (lots of compliments, gifts, special treatment, and at least one instance of groping that I completely repressed for decades as a "dream"). I see now that in doing so, he was also manipulating my stepmother. They have not been part of my life for nearly a quarter century. Thank you for telling your story so articulately, it's similar in many ways to mine.

Thank you Ingrid, that's what I needed today to continue fighting for my healing journey and improving my life quality after child abuse ❤❤❤

Thank you for this marvelous idea, Dr. Ingrid. You are a QUEEN.

Wow. That is deep and fills me with hope. I am almost giggling!

I cannot love you enough. I did not have this type of trauma, but I sponsor women who have this exact experience. Thank you so much for your recovery, dedication, and generosity. Books don't work for everyone for various reasons. A real time video of you sharing in a peer-to-peer way is so powerful and very accessible. I do love your workshops but even then you have the amazing gift of speaking to your audience as one among many. That is a rare gift indeed!

One year and several months into the latest episode from my husband. Bare minimal talk, no touch, no smile. He grew up that way and thinks i owe him for what they put him through, plus he views a spouse as the enemy. Took decades for me to figure that out. I'm trying to just honor God and live a quiet and peaceable life of forgiveness, but i cannot express the pain i feel every day!

Fantastic work! Thanks!

This resonated So much for me, thanks, Ingrid. I came here from your video on the fawn being a hybrid response, and in that I took away that shame is a key aspect, and so picked this one to listen to next. As you said, I think shame is very hidden, and we also tend to avoid touching on it because it's Shame and we accepted that all that stuff they told us (like you listed here) Was and Is ours. As I heal I know it wasn't my shame, that they were my parents' projection, lies, whatever, but it's very hard to believe myself. The shame sits so deep at the foundation that it is hard to heal, but it Will, in time, whatever--with patience and effort, it will leave.

This!!! I mean i so this EVERY TIME someone mentions I need to tell myself affirmations to "cure" anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD. "I'm hearing it, I'm taking it, I'm growing, AND I'm different." BING! 😂🤦🏽‍♀️

The application of the healing concepts and guidance into everyday life is hard work! I feel like I stumble a lot. It’s still worth pursuing though. The pain of staying in the unhealthy trauma-related ways of living is untenable and a guaranteed life of misery.

What a blessing. I’ve heard of choosing me. But when you’re actually on the healing “recovery” path it has an entirely different meaning and hits in a unique way. Thank you for the road you paved in your healing journey to deliver this message ❤

This is amazing 😂 Thank you for helping us through our pain, Doctors! I know you both not only speak through your research and practice, but you both also speak from first-hand experience. You've taught me so much this past year and I'm forever grateful to you ❤ Can't wait for more skits like this!

See ya

😔

🤣you got this 🤣

🙌 yes 🌳 🌺 🌊 👣

Yeah, there's a big part of me (and I suppose others have it as well) that instantly calls bullshit on this type of positivity. He knows what he really went through, the actual, felt pain, horror, and injustice. He just wants to scream and cry at this injustice, he must be heard, and no amount of positivity, manifesting, or affirmations can properly silence that truth.

super, thank you, because I am beginning to understand

Yes! Oh were it that simplistic!

I Love you🎉❤😉😁👍🏽

Omg, was here a month ago,commented. Last week I agreed to a lunch time with friends that I didn’t like but thought they would, as suggested by the initiator. Later I heard that somebody else didn’t like the time either 😛 Yesterday I agreed to a time to meet for coffee on a day I wouldn’t have picked 😫 I know I’m a people pleaser BUT it’s harder to stop than the self help books say. YOU ARE SO RIGHT INGRID❣️My trauma survivor brain takes off without me! I remember this post and came back to HEAR THIS AGAIN. I’m gonna get this 👍 I put a note to self by my phone to STOP before I respond. Thanks 🙏👍😊❣️I’m 70, done so much self work, and finally,FINALLY you’ve help me see this HYBRID response part. Thanks a million❤ Check in with me & my body!!

💗

Omg your shame parody in the beginning was the best!!!

Ingrid never fails to be relatable with child abuse survivors ❤❤❤

Great voice

So good

😅😅😅😅😅

Excellent explanation...the best I've heard! Bc before this, I wasn't really fully understanding how it worked.

My Dad: "I was no good father because you weren't a good daughter."

Thank you. That's a great realization! I'm the escape goat. I wish I'd realized sooner. You are loved and admired....thank you for sharing

The silent treatment is deadly to a child!!!
