Healing from Narcissistic Abuse: Taking the Next Steps
Recovery from narcissistic abuse is challenging but not impossible. Here are a few steps to consider:
Recognize and Validate Experiences: Understanding what happened helps survivors see through the manipulation and recognize the abuse for what it is.
Therapeutic Support: Therapy, especially modalities like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or trauma-informed approaches, can be instrumental.
Rebuild Connections: Connecting with others who understand your experience, whether through support groups or community involvement, is a key part of healing.
