"The Secret in healing Narcissism is not to heal it at all, but to listen to it. Narcissism is a signal that the soul is not being loved sufficiently. The greater the Narcissism, the less love being given." ~ Thomas Moore, 'Care of the Soul'.

Q. Is it really possible to heal NPD?

That was our wedding song. I heard it on the radio the other day for the first time in a long time. It took me back to a time and place of great expectations and innocence. It was sad yet moving. I had a nice cry and it might have helped me let go of some things that never have been, and might well never be true in our relationship.

It was sad yet moving. ____ i should've known by your nickname, LxL, that you could possibly be a fan of R Plant derivatives too, as i am. i felt a warmth when for whatever reason i had to stop listening to music, i could finally go back to it with the realisation that it just speaks to the human condition. i felt alive again. emotions and memories rise and fall in each of us and i thought it was great when i didn't have to see a song i loved as being that specific and carrying a sense of dread, love and/or pain anymore. notwithstanding any of that, it's great that you have cried, it's a way of acknowledging that there was a loss. i'm trying to say that one day you'll be able to hear that song in a myriad of other contexts too if you'd like. maybe it will be just sitting in traffic and relating to the irony of the sea of exhaust fumes f-cking up such harmonious sentiment....i dunno. one day at a time though. i didn't choke back a tear as i thought i would when someone posted mike and the mechanics "the living years" the other day. my ex had that cd, and i knew 98% of that really fits how he once felt about his dad. i'm glad of the closeness i know we did share. k (http://profiles.bbboy.net/kay_neich) Mood: TcBrown Offline 2954 posts Cyber Healing PhD Eat your heart out Pacific Western Mood Now: Post Mood: Reply Re: 1,000 positive stepping stones on the path to healing ( 11:32:50 ThuOct 28 2004 ) Options Reply Quote Report To Mod Last Posts Ignore User Global Ignore Whisper Here I go searching for something positive. Yesterday I had my two year check up with the eye doctor. I found out after years of being nearsighted I now need bi-focals. I'm not even to 40 (dosen't life begin at 40 ? ) and i already need bifocals. On a positive note I'm taking care of my needs and I should be able to see the world more clearly.
