On this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse Q&A, we discuss how am Brandon Chadwick. And today we are going to be discussing, you know, feelings. This is going to be an

episode where we're going to discuss a lot of feelings and we're going to discuss metaphors and

analogies and storytelling as a whole as a way to, you know, really describe your experience to yourself, to understand the feelings

of everything that's going on inside you, as well as being able to translate it to other people

in the most effective way as possible. So they listen to everything that you have to say. And to me, it is really important to

do an episode like this about language as a whole when it comes to feelings and metaphors and

analogies because we want to create movement inside you so you understand exactly what is going on with you.

And we want to create movement outside of the relationship as well.

So we want movement in the sense of being able to get support, being able to tell your story in a better way,

can help you get more support if you're able to translate it well in the most effective way as possible. In describing your feelings the best

as possible is part of that. Metaphors can be a part of that as well in analogies too.

So that's what this episode is going to be about.

When we're discussing relationships with narcissistic abuse,

with domestic abuse, domestic violence, coercive control,

you know, a lot of the times you're in flight mode,

you're in fight mode, you're in freeze mode, you're in fawn mode.

And when we're discussing language, you know, language kind of activates your frontal lobes.

It moves you out of the limbic system and into your cognitive system where decision making is possible and being able to think

more clearly can come back online. So, you know, discussing language today to me is a big thing

for everyone. It's going to create movement in a bunch of different ways, whether you're still

in the relationship or you're outside the relationship. You know, I think this episode is going to be helpful for a lot of people. And before we begin,
