Cecilia Canzonetta, widely known as Cecilia Ce, has gained significant attention after publicly detailing alleged emotional abuse and manipulation by a former partner. While not naming him directly, her posts followed shortly after her separation from journalist Nacho Levy, and actress Gloria Carrรก, Levy's ex-partner, reposted Ce's story, also alleging past abuse.
Why do psychopaths and narcissists hardly sleep? The dark truth behind the early morning hours...
In a series of Instagram stories, Ce initially questioned why psychopaths and narcissists seem to suffer from insomnia, hinting at dark truths behind sleepless nights. She then shared her personal experience, describing how such individuals remain active on social media, monitoring and controlling, while also disrupting her sleep. Ce stated this chronic disruption of her nervous system made her appear unstable, leading her to be labeled as "the crazy one."
They don't sleep. They are on social media checking, controlling. And they don't let you sleep either. The moment you want to sleep, they start a fight so that, without being able to rest, your nervous system is chronically unbalanced and you are the crazy one.
Following an outpouring of support from followers and friends, Ce expressed gratitude for the community that sustained her. Addressing the potential question of how a psychologist could fall victim to such abuse, she explained that manipulation tactics, personal vulnerabilities, and resilience play complex roles. Ce asserted that her professional identity and past experiences enabled her to overcome the situation and speak out, unlike many others.
I want to thank the immense network that is accompanying me; thank you for being with me, I am supported by the enormous fabric that we are. Regarding the question that surely many people ask themselves, 'if she is a psychologist, how did this happen to her?', there is much to say about manipulation mechanisms, personal resources, and vulnerabilities, but I know that it is from who I am and from what I have built that I have been able to get out and can today tell what many could not.
Ce, who was born in Buenos Aires in 1985 and holds a degree in clinical psychology, has built a substantial following on Instagram, exceeding one million followers. She uses the platform to share content on sexual education and relationships. She stated her priority remains her well-being and empowering others to identify similar abusive dynamics in their own relationships, emphasizing that she feels no shame in moving forward and continuing her work.
And yes, I went through an emotionally abusive relationship and I should not feel ashamed to move forward, connecting with life, with you all, and with my work. My priority was, and continues to be, taking care of my well-being and sharing tools that can help other people recognize these types of dynamics and other issues in their own relationships. I deeply appreciate the thousands of messages of affection I have received.
