Your pain will heal!

Leaving a narcissistic relationship can leave many of us feeling confused, dumbfounded, angry, vengeful, spiteful, having newfound levels of PTSD, anxiety, depression, but most of all leaves many of us…HURT.

10+ Mental Illnesses Caused By Staying With A Narcissists

Staying in a relationship with a narcissist can have many negative effects on not only our emotional well-being but it…

Hurt that we ever trusted these people. Hurt that we ignored all the red flags they showed us. Hurt that we didn’t leave sooner. Hurt that we put up with so much crap and lost so much of our life.

Hurt that we ever respected them, liked them…LOVED THEM.

We can beat ourselves up in a way that the narcissist never could imagine hurting us.

At times, we are our own worst enemy.

Learning to forgive ourselves for the abuse we allowed is one of the main reasons why so many of us hardly ever heal.

Because we have such shame for putting up with so much stuff from the narcissist, the healing process can take a very long time, if it even happens (with the mindset that we keep).

However, the pain you feel, I promise WILL GO AWAY if you but do this one thing.

Abused by a Narcissist? Knowing and Becoming the Narcissist's Worst Nightmare

We've all dealt with narcissism at one point or another in our lives whether from a co-worker, family member, friend or…

“They didn't break you down, they broke you through.”

The pain that you feel is an injury made manifest by your thoughts.

By you seeing them as crippling you, you are crippled.

By you seeing them making you feel dumb, you have become dumbfounded.

By you seeing them using you like a piece of meat, your value as a human being starts to plummet.

By you believing these thoughts, you become all these negative things.

Your thoughts are what are hurting you, NOT the narcissist and what they did.

“But you don’t know what they did to me!”

Yes, I do!

Yes, I do!

I know what they are capable of.

But I also know what empaths and good people are capable of as well.

Hard times create strong men

Strong men create good times

Good times create weak men

Weak men create hard times.”

Good people are the ones who make the world better, and they make it better by going through the TRIALS and CHALLENGES OF LIFE.

And this is how you start to heal.

By shifting the way you think of the incident in your life with them as NOT an end, but as an obstacle, you need to overcome, you will start to heal.

You must start to see the narcissist as a wall and the thing they did as a ditch to try and drag you down and stop you in your life from progressing and becoming a better version of yourself.

When you start to see the negative things in your life as challenges and obstacles that you must overcome, they no longer seem like they are impossible to move beyond.

This shift in thinking is not going to happen overnight.

I know the hatred I had for the narcissist in my life took about three years to subside, but once I started looking at what they did as a means that was necessary for me to learn how the world works — and saw what they did as a challenge to who I am and who I can become — my path of becoming everything I am working to be has been fueled by their actions.

Because they did not want me to be good, I WILL BECOME GREAT.

And you can as well.

You are not a victim; you are a warrior — an EMPATHIC WARRIOR.
