Hello Richard-
I'm very nervous writing this, but I don't know where else to start. I've watched many of your YouTube videos as well as many other narc abuse/cptsd recovery videos, I've found yours to be the most direct and relatable. I have a question for you that has to do with starting over. After an epic discard and an extremely traumatic encounter with a grossly unqualified counselor I've completely isolated myself. I didn't have a relationship with family to start with, but now I don't have any contact with friends at all. I go to work, but that's it. When I see people I used to know I have the worst anxiety and emotional flashbacks. I feel like I should just move and start over in a city where nobody knows who I am. Is that something that could benefit someone going through this or would it make things worse somehow?
