Thanks for sharing Kizzie! - sooo glad we can share this kind of stuff with each other here. I mean, some people would be like what's the problem? If you don't like someone, just walk away! No big deal...but WE know it IS a big deal because our bodies get triggered and then we have to work to sooth ourselves.
And that story about your H's sister, geeez
I plan to do some EMDR this week with my psychologist on my uNPD sister, in hopes that I don't get so triggered by her actions in the future. Lately she's been off the charts narcissistic, and I see it hurting my mother all the time (but she won't acknowledge it, ugh more dysfunction.)
Fortunately I've distanced myself from my family now for the past few months and it's soooo GREAT. But I still get triggered.
Have you tried EMDR? I imagine so. I'll let'cha know if it works for me afterwards. HUGS
