1.3K views · 1.6K reactions | Re-sharing this general explanation that’s helped me understand the role of the parentified black sheep. I hope it helps you too. Some disclaimers about this that are important: 👉 I am not a therapist and this is for educational purposes only. 👉 I am someone who has read a lot about family systems theory and coaches people around outsider experiences 👉 This is generalized information and is not meant to slap another label on you. This is to help you unlock a wider possibility of why things happened as they did. But it won’t apply to everyone. I hope this helps open some things for you.

Do you feel your posture reflects something about your experience? What did you learn from this practice? ➡️ If you’re interested helping others and want to get trained in nervous system regulation and healing, I teach a 12-week practitioner training on this subject called The Focalizing Practitioner Course.

37K views · 1.6K reactions | If you were scapegoated and you’ve spent most of your life being the helper, the fixer, the in-house therapist, you might be struggling to consider another way even though you might be completely exhausted. If you’re unsure of where to start, try asking this: Ask yourself, is my help actually helping? Often scapegoats don’t pause to consider this, and end up reflexively helping until they have no energy left. And if you do, it can inspire you to think more critically about the relationship agreements that not only aren’t working for you... they might not be working for them either. 💡 Thanks everyone for your responses to that last note. ➡️ It inspired me to announce on my newsletter this morning that I’m coming back to teach OTHER, a three part workshop series for family scapegoats and black sheep. If you’re in need of support and want to come together with people who lived it to work on the shame and unworthiness that surrounds this experience, check it out here: https://nicknwerber.com/other-workshop-series #familyroles #scapegoatchild #healingjourney #emotionalboundaries #blackshsheephealing #selfabandonment #innerchildwork | Nick Werber | Facebook

1.1K views · 13K reactions | It’s a label for the pain, and as a result it keeps that pain body locked in place within us… When we label the pain we block ourselves from the lesson and gift that is available to us, we stay stuck in the hold of the pain, the resonance of it. We don’t allow ourselves to transcend it and our heart stays closed held captive by the box we’ve put ourselves in and them in. We don’t allow ourselves to enter love which allows us to step in creator energy, forgiveness and the ability to see what this pain was here to show us… or teach us. Thus keeping us in a perpetual state of avoiding the beauty and life that is just on the other side of the pain and the reason our soul called in the experience. 🙏🏼 This post doesn’t negate that experience , it simply offers a different way to look at it and a pathway to transcending it and healing from it It’s either labels and separation or oneness … when we truly get this … a magical life awaits Can you allow the space to sit with this and see what it brings up for you. 🙏🏼 Podcast: @weareraise | Danny Morel | Facebook

But let’s be real, avoidants aren’t solely responsible for the problems in relationships. Anxious folks, I’m looking at you 🧐 You say you want closeness, communication, connection. But let’s talk about that little habit of going to therapy with the secret mission of “fixing” your partner. Yep. That’s not secure love. That’s codependency dressed up as healing 😬 And here’s the kicker… You don’t need to fix your avoidant partner. You need to face yourself. That means learning to: — Guide your thoughts and emotions — Detach with love — Surrender control — Let go of relationships that no longer serve — Stop outsourcing your enoughness I work with anxious men and women all the time.

632K views · 23K reactions | 🧠 THE NEURAL IMPACT OF YOUR WORDS: The phrases you repeat literally become your child's inner voice, shaping their brain development. These 8 powerful statements create lasting neural pathways: 1️⃣ "You're not supposed to know this yet. I'll teach you." - Builds a growth mindset and reduces anxiety about not knowing everything. 2️⃣ "You're allowed to be mad at me. I'll still love you." - Teaches that emotions are acceptable while maintaining boundaries, the foundation of healthy relationships. 3️⃣ "It's normal to forget. I'll remind you until it sticks." - Removes shame from the learning process and builds secure attachment. 4️⃣ "You're safe. I've got us." - Activates their parasympathetic nervous system and builds stress resilience in an uncertain world. 5️⃣ "This is new for both of us. We're learning together." - Models honest vulnerability and teaches that growth is lifelong. 6️⃣ "You can ask for space instead of pushing." - Provides tools to express needs appropriately instead of reacting physically. 7️⃣ "I know your body moved faster than your brain." - Acknowledges developing impulse control without shame. 8️⃣ "It's not too late to make a different choice." - Teaches that mistakes aren't permanent and support is always available. Which one did you need to hear as a child? Which one does your child need to hear today? #braindevelopment #positiveparenting #positivepeople #singlemomstrong #parentingtips #parentinghacks #singledadlife #boymoms #girldads | Cover Three | Facebook

17K views · 369 reactions | Enabling parents often think their job is to keep things calm. To be the peacekeeper and caretaker for the narcissist. They’ve been taught that love means sacrificing themselves, smoothing over conflicts, and making sure everyone else is emotionally comfortable. This role may feel necessary, but it comes at a cost. They believe their suffering is essential to holding the family together. But in reality, it keeps them stuck in a cycle. Instead of acknowledging the sacrifice. The narcissist takes advantage of it. → The enabler confuses caretaking with love. They believe their worth is tied to how much they give. This is a pattern that feeds the dysfunction. It's not love. ↳ If you’ve grown up in this dynamic, you might feel responsible for others. You’ve been conditioned to manage their feelings while neglecting your own. To break free, you need to realize your worth isn’t defined by what you give. When you prioritize your needs and clarity, you create a life free from old patterns. This is how you reclaim your space, your voice, and your REAL Self. 👉 Ready to break free from their grip? Join my FREE Training to build the self you were never allowed to have.

Vague warnings activate their alarm system without teaching actual safety skills. Instead of “be careful,” give specific guidance that activates their prefrontal cortex and builds real safety awareness. Try these instead: ✅ “Climb with two hands please” ✅ “Eyes on the log while balancing” ✅ “Look for people before throwing” ✅ “What’s your plan for climbing down?” ✅ Support with omega-3s, alpha-GPC, and curcumin This is not to be taken as medical advice.
