This week’s video is the third in a series of 3 on the role of shame in recovery from narcissistic abuse. I focus on three classes of coping strategies to live alongside shame-based attacks on the self. First, somatic strategies that gently introduce movement and energy when you feel the physiological freeze that shame creates. 2 other youtube videos are mentioned that can be useful in this regard:
20-minute Quigong routine:
   • Qigong Full 20-Minute Daily Routine  
Yoga with Adriene: Yoga for when you are stuck:
   • Yoga For When You Are Stuck  |  15-Minute ...  

Next, psychological tactics of noticing shame while locating a different more positive feeling in yourself and slowly and deliberately shifting attention from one to the other.

Last, emotional tactics of noticing your reactions of anger and working to build some capacity to hold them. Shame in narcissistic abuse is often used to inhibit anger that the narcissist would not tolerate. Therapy can be particularly useful for this tactic.
