Forgiving Yourself After Narcissistic Abuse

 


Forgiving yourself after experiencing narcissistic abuse can be a challenging process, but it is an important step towards healing and moving forward. Here are some steps that may help you in this process:


1. Acknowledge your feelings: It's important to allow yourself to feel and process the emotions that come with the experience of narcissistic abuse. This can help you to understand the impact it has had on you and help you to move forward.


2. Take responsibility: While you are not responsible for the abuse you have experienced, you can take responsibility for how you respond to it. This may involve taking steps to protect yourself from further abuse, seeking therapy or support, and learning to set healthier boundaries.


3. Seek forgiveness from yourself: It's important to be kind to yourself and realize that you were doing the best you could at the time. Try to forgive yourself for any mistakes or decisions you may have made during the abusive relationship.


4. Practice self-compassion: Treat yourself with the same kindness, concern, and understanding that you would give to a good friend who has experienced similar circumstances.


5. Focus on your strengths: Instead of dwelling on your perceived weaknesses or what you could have done differently, focus on your strengths and the positive qualities that got you through the experience. Reflect on how you have grown and what you have learned from the experience.


6. Get support: Seek support from a trusted friend or family member, a therapist, or a support group. Sharing your experience with others who understand and can offer validation and support can be incredibly healing.


Remember, forgiveness is a process and it takes time. Be patient with yourself and trust that with time and self-care, you can heal and move forward from the experience of narcissistic abuse.


You got this, stay strong, you're stronger then you know!

Toxic traits of covert narcissists

 Welcome to the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Community Blog and Podcast. Today, we delve into a critical topic that affects many people: the toxic behaviors of covert narcissists. Covert narcissists are often more challenging to identify than their overt counterparts because they hide their narcissism behind a façade of concern and care. This concealment makes their toxic behaviors particularly insidious. Understanding these behaviors is essential for recognizing and protecting yourself from their harmful effects. The first toxic behavior of covert narcissists is hiding and concealing their true identity. They present themselves as caring and concerned individuals, but this is merely a manipulation tactic. Their apparent concern often feels phony or forced. Many targets of narcissists are empaths, who can detect this lack of genuineness through gut instincts and intuition. If you feel that something about their concern is off, it’s likely because it is. Recognizing this false concer...

Why do narcissist’s discard their partners

Narcissists discard their partners cruelly due to several psychological factors rooted in their personality disorder. Understanding these factors can shed light on their behavior and provide some clarity for those who have experienced such treatment. Lack of empathy is one of the defining traits of Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). Narcissists often struggle to understand or care about the feelings of others. This makes it easy for them to discard partners without considering the emotional pain they cause. Objectification of partners is another common behavior. Narcissists typically view their partners not as individuals with their own needs and emotions but as objects that serve a purpose. When a partner no longer fulfills the narcissist’s needs—whether it be admiration, validation, or control—they are seen as disposable. Narcissists have a strong need for control. Discarding a partner cruelly can be a way for the narcissist to assert dominance and control. By leaving in a hars...
