i cannot thank you enough for your wonderful channel and your insights in narcissism and empaths, and all the material you transfer with love, you are one of favourite RU-vidrs and brings me joy to see professionals providing such information in public, i cant wish much but health and vitality.
I find your videos very valuable and appreciate your doing them. After a lot of searching I have had more insights here than anywhere else. It would be a great help if there were some sort of index with links that would allow easy watching of them in the series order. Maybe there is a way but I have not found it. Maybe some outline on the website with links. These videos really do address the fundamental human condition. They have timeless value. Thanks again.
Dr. Saad, don’t apologize for upload delays-better to have such excellent content on an irregular schedule than fluff uploaded regularly. Hope you are feeling better.
What I love most about your videos is your ability to attempt to bridge the gap between spirituality, soul work and healing with scientific materialism and mainstream psychology. I rarely see psychologists who are able to do this. We are more than our minds...
Dear Dr. Saad, pease don't feel obligated in any way to upload videos for your audience, if you are sick, if your are busy or if you are just not in the mood to do so. I have a doctor who is 80 years by now. I really adore him. He is not only the best doctor I ever encountered from a professional point of view, he is also a wonderful human being. I know him since 29 years. He always comes to work, even if he is sick. He hardly ever goes on holiday and although he is officially retired since nearly 10 years, he still comes to work every day. I think he would be even a better doctor, if he would stay at home sometimes, if he would go on holiday sometimes, if he would show his patients what self-love and taking good care of oneself really means. Please, don't get me wrong, I really appreciate your work. But I think people who work in the healing field should also lead by example and so they should take good care of themselves, if they don't feel so well. All the best and I hope you will be better very soon.
@@vitalmindcoachingHallo. Now 29.11.2023 we are refugee from Ukraine. My little child took away in Germany in pflege/ foster family. My baby was 4 y.o. now 5,5. Tell me please how to behavior myself when my son will come back home ? Danke.
Lisa Burnside all of them. This is about understanding and reaching a higher level of consciousness, mentalization. You will become more self aware and closer to God.... “your God” if you prefer.
I feel so peaceful when I listen to you. It's like all the burdens just lifts off me, it's such a releaf. Thank you 💐 for sharing your work and knowledge, it is so helpful. 🙏🌷
And ever sinse I did the gestalt method chair work 5 years ago in 2017 after divorcing my 2nd narc wife, I av a relationship wiv my little boy. I talk to him daily, set him boundaries etc, cuddle him in and talk to him when he's anxious, lonely etc. I tell him "daddy loves u and understands ur anxiety and loneliness, u got me, daddy will never leave u, cuddle in to daddy now and let daddy look after u cos daddy loves u and daddy thinks ur awesome etc." Thanks Dr.
Glad your back. Been waiting on this. My life is changing and transforming ine day at a time. Greatful for this free but soooo valuable information. Peace and blessings
Thank you for your work. I had a NM and i am a recovering person with NT. Everyday i work on myself. I have forgiven my mom and myself. I wrote myself a letter to me from my mom, apologizing for the mistreatment, shaming, guilting, controlling, and for being someone i have never loved or felt a connection with. I am ready for chair therapy. I am going to do it in my meditation room with my childhood doll. Thank you again
Lolasrapidrelief I applaud you. I thought I could forgive mine but I’m back to wondering the what if’s again. I only just found out that there are names for us. Thanking God for putting the good doctor in my path.
How did you do that? My mom my sister and two aunts are narc. I'm an empatg and really damaged at many levels. Now I want to o heal after knowing that It was never me. Its them
This was an emotional topic for me, thank you for sharing this here with us. It’s amazing how many people suffer this problem yet so few people talk about it
Excellent. Thx so much. Shared on Twitter, as usual. I appreciate your generous offering to us. I am glad you decided to give us this time for free.😍🕊💕
Sir you are one of the biggest influences that helped me recover of my CPTSD, inner child, counter dependency. Just wanted to thank you from the depths of my heart. Im having a time of my life now, and i feel better than ever, physically and mentally. You are a life saver! All the best! :D
I have felt this for years ever since highschool, when they ask you to choose between subjects. Separation and compartmentalising our minds as children has caused alot of self separation. Its by design. I for one didn't grow up to except this reality and became a self taught..in everything that I am. No labels. No boundaries. Education is as fluid as water, all is one and one is all. Now studying mental health, herbalism.
I find your videos so helpful and stabilizing. I'm so sorry about your being under the weather and hope you get to feeling well soon. Thank you so much for all you do for all of us!
I've listened to your teachings over a few years now. I enjoy your comprehension and understanding. Everyone has a wounded child. No one escapes. You are deeply compassionate loving caring and wise. I'm also a psychotherapist yet I find very few wise therapists here in the UK. Many are hugely superficial grandiose and sadly arrogant...so thank you Abdul.
It's life changing!! I wish I have known this on my early age, it would have save me so much confusion, heart break and pain... I am beyond great full knowing this at this moment.
Yes I did one year of the Gestalt Method once a week wiv a therapist, lot of tears. When finished, 6 months later I had an awakening as a super-empath. Thank u Dr. Reverend Alexander.
I had missed you and I double checked the bell when I opened the video thinking I had missed some! I was sorry to hear you have been ill so long. I am glad you are back and pray for your continued healing. I am grateful for your presentation of this subject! It was very thought provoking for me. Thank you.
Marvellous to receive notification of, then watch this new video, the content of which is truly apposite for me at this time in my life. Glad to know that you are recovering from the ill health.
I listened to this 2x it was so good and pertinent to what I needed to hear right now. I’m convinced that I need to do some serious work in this area...I need relief from negative emotions that come out of nowhere, that take me down.
Thank you Dr. Saad!! I am an empath and these videos help me more than I can explain in words. I experience all kinds of energy shifts. In fact due to the energy of a group of people I had to take a day off today. I am learning how to leave a situation and how to be in touch with who I really am, and to place myself in healthy situations.
I have been in liminal space and feel vulnerable to mental breakdown. I really appreciate the last section of your video for this reason Dr. Saad ! Without professional support this work feels dangerous at times. 180.00 an hour is out of reach for some people.
God bless you Dr Abdul Saad! Thank you for all your contribution and hard work towards healing the collective. Your approach and delivery is very simple but effective. Every time I watch any of your videos my recovery is catapulted to great heights and for that I thank you!🙏🏽
Thank you so very much for your videos. I’ve read tons of books and watched endless videos about empaths. Yours is the first to integrate the spiritual aspect of ourselves into healing. Truly remarkable and life changing.
Feel better. Thank you for your great and valued work. I’m following you, and shall do the work necessary for me to grow and heal. It’s a bit like climbing a mountain, I’ve been climbing for a couple of years without much clarity. Now I’ve found you, I feel I’m going to take a giant leap!
God bless you friend. I so appreciate your videos and how you say “God willing”; acknowledging Him in your life and ours. Prayers that attack’s may be kept from you.
Thank you for both this series and your past series. I'm so grateful I found a healthy channel because these topics are identifying my issue's to a T. Thankfully I've always found self help to be interesting so I'm willing to do the home work & be an active partisapint YET without this narsistic / empath information I've gotten worse over the years not better. Even though I've put myself in consoling throughout my adult life this topic is not readily available. Thank you for life saving information as I work on talking less & absrving more I hope to figure out how to afford your services. Thank you for being avalible 🙋
Now I know psychologist are kind of spiritual way ... love your explanations... being with narcissist spouse ... soon leaving him make me relief already.🙏🏽thank you
I know you're not in the US but... this message, to empaths, would be SO VALUABLE to those of us in the US who have had four years of abuse (on top of our FOO abuse). You could really help us heal. I hope you are well and still with us.
❤Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful video. The subject and coverage are absolutely fantastic. I do understand everything you said. As I go through the ages doing this work, exactly as you say, in a safe, quiet, and sacred space with a therapist that kick-started the process and is following my unlayering, I do lots of research listening to many other survivor coaches and professional psychotherapists. All of this helps me to cognitively understand what inner child work is so that I can deal with the emotional impacting as I go through the work. This is how I best progress, by understanding from many different word-framing and descriptions of what it is and then feeling confident and safe enough to go within and do the work. Again, thank you so much, I am so very grateful for mentors like yourself who put puts these videos up. It is like the crumb trail that Hansel and Gretel laid down to find their way back home 💕💕
Thank you so much. I was excited when I got the notification. I really appreciate your content. I have always identified as an empath without looking at what may of caused my over empathic nature. Watching your videos have made me take responsibility for my behaviour and the signals I am giving out to other people. I have been able to do some deep work on what can create an empath and how we can empower ourselves and be more balanced. Your the only educated, knowledgeable psychologist I have watched on youtube that has helped me. I am also taking mineral supplements too! Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you so much for these videos. I have struggled with myself all my life (72 years) and am at present going through a very down period. I feel overwhelmed with myself and the world. Your videos are explaining so much and I am very grateful. Look after yourself as well. Blessings and be well.
Thank you 😊 You are doing very important, appreciated and complex work that helps not only individuals some in very desperate situations that makes it difficult for others to understand to put skills in practice for an in depth evaluation so it's possible to recognize, reflect and heal additionally individuals can pay it forward because they have a detailed, honest and enlightened understanding of themselves and others so it's possible to interact in a much more meaningful, positive and balanced manner immediately.
Thanks so much for your video, they're always really helpful. I'm having counselling and using the book Recovery of Your Inner Child. It was an incredible feeling when I first connected with my inner child.
Nice to meet you Dr. Saad. Ive grown up knowing I'm different from others.. Of course everyone has spiceial gifts.. But most of us hear growing up how very special we really are and then get hit with tramac experience that we take notice after the experience a few years later... I myself have grew up this way.. Then the true person who told me this passed away just after my 19th Birthday and my life has been nothing but pain and feeling lost...! Now that I'm older i feel blocked and confused and since this person passed away it was like for 4 years of being in this persons custody. I started to feel more alive and happy and anything is possible with them by myside. Then they passed away. I couldn't feel her anymore her vibration. And that put me hear in the first place.. Like all that she told me and tought me went out the window.. And i feel like I'm not myself blocked nor some of the things i was starting to feel and see was pulled fom me some how..!! Then when 9/11/ happed i felt it again and i cryed i felt others vibrations disrepair .. And again when the SANDY HOOK ELAMTERY SCHOOL SHOOTING TOOK PLACE HERE IN THE UNITED STATES I FELT EVERYONE WHO LOST THEIE LIFES AS WELL AND I CRYED AND HAD SO MANY EMOTIONS HIT ME LIKE A TIDLE WAVE THEN DISAPER LIKE UP IN SMOKE.OR A LIGHT BEING TURNED OFF .. OR I WOULD SEE SOME IMAGES AS A FLASKBACK OR VISIONS IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS OR FORMS .. BUT DONT HAPPEN MUCH ANYMORE ANY OF IT OF OTHERS BUT ONLY WHEN I GET ANGRY!!
Great!!! Thanks a lot!!! Since we follow you and have learnt so much from you, don't worry if you can't make a new video all the time. We can wait for it whenever you are able to do one. Best recovery. And thanks always!!! Your job is incredibly good!!!
God bless you, and it's so wonderful to see you back with new content. I cherish a hope you'll do a video about covert narcissism as it relates to the Social Justice Warrior movement and virtue signaling (not to be confused with activists and actual virtue). Prayers and good wishes for a quick recovery.
Omg I’ve done chairwork before, but I didn’t know it was a real thing!! But I remember switching between 3 spots and feeling like one was my past, present, and future. Maybe I should try this again. Thank you for this video!
important topic ..... thank you! a tip: your camera's white balance is disturbed by your shiny head - that's why the light fades every time you bend your head forward!
Thank you for these videos, they have been a great help with trying to understand my family and myself. I have a question about this therapy. I have 8 therapy sessions available to me but that's all. Is this the kind of thing that can be worked on with such limited counselling time?
Tks for sharing your valuable insights from your professional knowledge base coupled with your clinical experience over the years. Please do a video on "Chair work" Stay well. Stay blessed.🙏
I love your work. I have a strong need to understand how things work. You do such a great job of describing the way the science integrates into the practice of psychology. You talk a lot about empaths in this series. My traits on the spectrum of narcissism to empathy have me more toward the middle or even more on the self-interested side of things. I would not consider myself an empath (or a narcissist) but the work you discuss here could be of great help to me and others. I don’t think you should limit it’s value to only those who identify as empaths. I recently discovered that my lengthy marriage has been to a covert narcissist. This has opened my eyes about him and myself and our relationship in so many ways, partly due to your amazing videos on these topics. My father is an overt, grandiose, very obvious narcissist who I have long disdained. I thought my husband was everything my father was not. I only now see that I have been a narc magnet throughout my life. I am now on my journey to healing. Thank you for your help in my process. Keep the videos coming!
Gestalt and parts therapy, inner child work, could help in many situations. Very much NOT limited to empath issues only, but is applicable in a broad way across a wide range. ( this from one who has only ever read about it, not experienced, alas). You are absolutely right about that!
I so appreciate your videos and have been checking to see when the next one would load...so you were missed, but it is completely understandable if you didn't have a voice ;-P so no apology necessary and as usual this video is so so helpful! Thank you!
When you reference the “previous” videos or a series, would have the time to also post links in the description so that we may follow along in sequence?
My inner child is BPD yet sooo sweet and empathetic...my inner child was abandoned and rejected for soo long i did that because that's the foundation of how I was treated..like I don't matter or I Am left to die and be buried....today I own my inner child and is validated when angry,empathetic,,I am allowing her to go through it all...
In my experience, it is important if not essential that the healing relationship between our inner child and our outer adult requires a holistic approach. Including getting the digestive tract healthy and reset. The biome can dictate the negative self talk. All people have some parasites within. Those parasites send out biochemical poisons into the host that reinforce the hosts existing paradigm. Our patterns and self sabotage may not be Self sabotage at all. It may be a function of internal infection, inflammation, and toxicity that parasitic invasion requires to keep itself alive. If that includes the bochemical cocktail that negativity stirs up, the parasite will see to it that that cocktail s plentiful.That pervasive negative self talk fills the margins and infiltrates at any opportunity. It may well be the toxic cocktail that attracts us to narcissistic abusers. Be well
Abdul: Is inner child work something you offer your international coaching clients? Including chair work? If yes, I'm wondering how that works via a technology like Skype. Or is this type of work something you only do with your local clients? Thank you for your very helpful videos!
