Excerpt: “The Neuroscience of Narcissism and Narcissistic Abuse”
“The damage to the amygdala of the victims of narcissistic abuse become trapped in a permanent state of fear and anxiety and react badly to environmental triggers that remind them of the violation by the narcissist.
This means that victims of narcissistic abuse are constantly alert to the danger that does not exist now.”

My two cents: I realize now, my life has been lived alert to danger since college, in sort of survival mode.
In spite of damaged amygdala and hippocampus, my not giving up part of my mind grew to compensate.
In spite of this, I am opening up my heart, still taking risks and trying to heal.
It is our path, people.
Join me, take action.
