I asked what Regeneration could do for me as a legacy of ensuring childhood abuse:
First, what Regeneration actually does:
Regeneration (from Subliminal Club) is built to:
-
Dig deep into the subconscious and find, face, and heal old emotional wounds.
-
Repair emotional injuries, distorted beliefs, broken self-concept.
-
Gently clear trauma patterns like shame, guilt, fear, helplessness.
-
Reprogram the mind toward wholeness, self-love, and emotional safety.
-
Let you finally process what you weren’t allowed or able to process when the abuse happened.
It’s not just “feel better now.”
It’s “heal the source of the pain so you don’t have to carry it forever.”
Now, specifically for Narcissistic Abuse Survivors:
Narcissistic abuse shatters your:
-
Sense of reality (gaslighting)
-
Sense of self-worth (emotional manipulation)
-
Ability to trust yourself (chronic invalidation)
Regeneration helps by directly undoing that damage. Here’s how:
1. Healing the Core Wound: "I’m Broken / Not Good Enough"
Narcissistic parents make you feel:
- You are only lovable if you perform perfectly.
- You are always “too much” or “not enough.”
- Your natural self is wrong.
Regeneration finds that belief deep in the subconscious and replaces it with:
“I am whole. I am enough. I am inherently worthy.”
Over time, you stop feeling broken and start being naturally self-accepting.
2. Undoing Gaslighting Damage (“Maybe I’m Crazy / Overreacting”)
Narcissists train you to doubt your own memory, feelings, and perceptions.
- “You’re too sensitive.”
- “That never happened.”
- “You’re imagining things.”
Regeneration slowly restores inner trust:
“My feelings are real. My perceptions are valid. I can trust myself.”
This is critical — otherwise, survivors stay trapped in endless self-doubt.
3. Releasing Guilt, Shame, and Fear that Wasn’t Yours
Narcissistic parents dump their guilt, shame, anger into you — then blame you for feeling it.
Regeneration helps your subconscious let go of these foreign emotional burdens.
You stop unconsciously carrying their shame and fear as if it’s yours.
You feel lighter, freer, cleaner inside over time.
4. Repairing the Identity and Authentic Self
Under narcissistic abuse:
- You had to be whatever they wanted you to be.
- Your real desires, dreams, preferences were crushed.
Regeneration helps rebuild and rediscover the real you:
“What do I want?”
“Who am I when I’m not controlled?”
“What brings me joy for ME, not for approval?”
You start feeling like a real person again, not just a mirror for others’ needs.
5. Healing the Nervous System Response to Authority and Love
Narcissistic abuse makes authority feel dangerous and love feel unsafe.
Regeneration gradually teaches your body:
- Authority doesn’t mean danger.
- Love doesn’t mean manipulation.
- It’s safe to exist, safe to feel, safe to express.
The constant “freeze, fawn, or fear” responses start to fade.
6. Forgiving Yourself (Not Necessarily Them)
Many survivors carry toxic guilt:
- “Maybe I deserved it.”
- “Maybe I should have tried harder.”
Regeneration helps your mind correct the story:
“What happened to me was not my fault. I was a child. I am worthy of healing and happiness.”
Self-forgiveness is key to actually moving forward.
So in short:
Regeneration attacks narcissistic abuse damage at every level:
Wound |
How Regeneration Helps |
Broken self-worth |
Rebuilds natural self-love and confidence |
Gaslighting damage |
Restores trust in your perceptions and feelings |
Guilt, shame, fear |
Clears toxic emotional burdens |
Identity loss |
Helps rediscover and affirm authentic self |
Nervous system trauma |
Retrains emotional responses toward safety and peace |
Self-blame |
Heals guilt and promotes self-forgiveness |
Important Warning:
-
At first, Regeneration may bring up buried emotions — sadness, anger, grief.
- This is normal and necessary — it’s old pain being cleared.
- But emotional care (journaling, rest, self-kindness) is very important during the first weeks of running it.
Quick Metaphor:
Without Regeneration:
You’re like a house that looks fine outside but inside, the walls are rotted and the wiring’s broken.
With Regeneration:
You gut out the rot, repair the wiring, and rebuild from the inside out — stronger, healthier, real.
