Reclaiming Your Energy and Feeling Whole Again: A Journey of Healing

After Narcissistic Abuse

Today, we were talking about how to feel whole after a heart wrenching toxic relationship, AKA with the Narcissist.

How do you start over?

How do you feel whole?

And our recorded guest that has shared us with some inspiring messages that will be here in the podcast. Today is Shannon Jenkins. She’s the host of the podcast Starting Over with Shannon. She’s inspiring you to do the work. And live a conscious, meaningful and joyful life. She helps you heal and grow after toxic relationships through her coaching.

If you are a perfectionist, if you are an empath then you will love to listen to her message that she has for us today on how to feel whole.

Because so many times we all have experienced this, where we feel like. A piece of our body has gone. There’s been such a trauma bond. Everything is so intertwined. And on top of that, they pretty much are a vampire and they suck you dry. They slowly strip you from everything that you know.

And before we dive into this topic, I just want to share with you the lyrics from Olivia Rodrigo’s Vampire. I’ve heard it before. And then I heard it yesterday and I was shocked and though, “this is so it.”

So if you resonate with being in a relationship like this, then you are going to benefit from the episode from Shannon’s message today. So here are the lyrics to:

Vampire. By Olivia Rodrigo.

Hate to give the satisfaction, asking how you’re doing now
How’s the castle built off people you pretend to care about?
Just what you wanted
Look at you, cool guy, you got it

I see the parties and the diamonds sometimes when I close my eyes
Six months of torture you sold as some forbidden paradise
I loved you truly
Gotta laugh at the stupidity

‘Cause I’ve made some real big mistakes
But you make the worst one look fine
I should’ve known it was strange
You only come out at night
I used to think I was smart
But you made me look so naive
The way you sold me for parts
As you sunk your teeth into me, oh
Bloodsucker, famefucker
Bleedin’ me dry, like a goddamn vampire

And every girl I ever talked to told me you were bad, bad news
You called them crazy, God, I hate the way I called them crazy too
You’re so convincing
How do you lie without flinching? (How do you lie, how do you lie, how do you lie?)

Ooh, what a mesmerizing, paralyzing, fucked-up little thrill
Can’t figure out just how you do it, and God knows I never will
Went for me, and not her
‘Cause girls your age know better

I’ve made some real big mistakes
But you make the worst one look fine
I should’ve known it was strange
You only come out at night
I used to think I was smart
But you’ve made me look so naive
The way you sold me for parts
As you sunk your teeth into me, oh
Bloodsucker, famefucker
Bleedin’ me dry, like a goddamn vampire

You said it was true love, but wouldn’t that be hard?
You can’t love anyone, ’cause that would mean you had a heart
I tried you help you out, now I know that I can’t
‘Cause how you think’s the kind of thing I’ll never understand

I’ve made some real big mistakes
But you make the worst one look fine
I should’ve known it was strange
You only come out at night
I used to think I was smart
But you made me look so naive
The way you sold me for parts
As you sunk your teeth into me, oh
Bloodsucker, famefucker
Bleedin’ me dry, like a goddamn vampire
