Hello Little Men!

Hope my Champs are doing well today !

Just got back to the hotel and need to leave in 15 min again for dinner with our local partner , thus I can’t stay long !

I assume you have seen the trouble at Karachi airport last night , so we are on alert as many companies are pulling out the non Pakistan workers , I am going to stick it out for a while as Emirates have not cancelled flight to and from Lahore yet , they said they will keep us posted if we need to get out , but I think it will be fine as things still seem ok here in the city.

So just want to tell you both I love you lots and miss you loads and will see you much later tonight under our big old green tree in dreamland for some big double O bear dream cuddles ,

Night , night Champs , sweet dreams !

Love you both plenty much and miss you more!

Love you Little Men ….always …

How The Trauma of Narcissistic Abuse Changes Our World Views

ANA - After Narcissistic Abuse's avatarAfter Narcissistic Abuse

Image

The word  “Trauma” is derived from the Greek term meaning “wound.” When targets encounter relationships with narcissists, what takes place is a human wound & trauma. When a person is wounded, there requires a time of healing; however scarring is often a result.

During times of psychic trauma, our belief that we are invulnerable to harm becomes shattered. Our defense mechanisms break down and we suddenly can’t function the way we used to. We begin to feel inadequate for not having the ability to process the trauma in a short time. Subsequent emotional arousal can reawaken the narc abuse experience that we feel the emotions all over again and realize that there’s an ongoing attack on those defense mechanisms; we’re attacked both within and without. The trauma of narcissistic abuse collapses our worldview and assumptions about life in one full blow.

Our assumptions about how we think life should operate…

Good evening Little Men !

Hope you both have had a fantastic Sunday and perhaps a nice roast dinner with lots of nice and crispy roast potatoes 🙂

Well I have done my first drive to the factory and back from the hotel , so I guess it is now official I can drive in Pakistan , had to doge a couple of donkeys and tuc-tuc’s but all and all not that bad , the finance manager went with me for back up so he give me some tips , like if a signal is not working or just flashing yellow you do not stop ! Well that goes against everything I was ever taught regarding rules of the road , lol , but as he tried to tell me , I need to remember things work a little different here , if I stop and follow the rules of the road I will get hit from behind or cause a traffic jam , thus we shall do like the Romans while is Rome as the saying goes 🙂

We have a busy week planned here as we have had so much down time and disruptions last week , so it is all hands on deck to work towards the goals we have set for this month ! As normal I remain the ultimate optimist 🙂

As you have seen I hit the mall next to my hotel , the 2 pairs of Jeans ended up being a couple more things but hey as I said all my stuff is too big for me now so guess I have to build a new wardrobe , the guys in the shops here don’t believe me that I am 40 in Jan so they keep trying to sell me stuff the kids wear , the more I tell them the closes I will go to that is my skinny Jeans as I like those but have ended up with some One Direction coloured skinny Chino’s also , funny enough I actually really like them and they fit great , not sure they will let me pass from 20 with my receding hairline , but that’s a story for another day 🙂

So boys I hope you both will have a fantastic week , I see the weather has not been great , so let’s hope you get plenty of sun shine for loads of outside fun playtime ….

Night . Night Champs , dream big of endless possibilities ….

Love you both truck loads full and miss you big heavy duty trailers full ….

Love you my Little O’s ….always …

What alienated parents don’t know and what alienating parents don’t tell them

Great post as always Karen , thank you 🙂

karenwoodall's avatarKaren Woodall - Psychotherapist, Writer, Supervisor, Trainer

This post is part of the process of finishing off the book I am writing about parental alienation. Coming soon will be our therapeutic coaching services for alienated parents, using an approach which we have developed at the Family Separation Clinic.  This approach is unique to us and is based upon almost ten years of work with parents who are alienated from their children. It is an approach we are having success with and, combined withour new handbook, it is an approach that we know will put power back into the hands of alienated parents.  This approach is based upon what alienated parents don’t know and what alienating parents don’t tell them.  This approach is, in our view, one of the secrets to resolving alienation in children and it puts power into the hands of the people who can do that most effectively of all.  You.

The approach…

Through to the a***hole

New Fathers 4 Justice's avatarNew Fathers 4 Justice - Superhero Dads

In a remake of the 1980’s series we sent Batman to  trek through famous people’s houses looking for clues as to who’s house it is. Then the three celebrity panellists by making assumptions and asking questions have to guess who it is.

Bit like the secret family courts really…..based on assumption not facts!

So here we go…..”Who’d live in a house like this? David, it’s over to you.”

Watch closely because, remember, the clues are there, as we go through… to the a***hole.
