Don’t Give a Narcissist the Power to Ruin You
How to keep from falling back into a web of lies.
Keep Moving Forward
I started therapy about a year after dating the narcissist for the first time in my life. Although things appeared perfect on the surface of my life, it didn’t matter. I had an amazing support system, a healthy relationship, and I was still falling apart. In fact, I was acting out on my new partner and projecting things on him that were based on the trauma from my past. I was drinking more than I should have been, which led to me saying things to him that were extremely hurtful and not true. I realized I was getting worse emotionally, not better, and it was time to do something before I continued to spiral out of control.
You cannot heal unless you protect yourself and start rebuilding your life and emotions…that was most likely torn to shreds. You were in a situation that was flight-or-fight, and as things calm down, you may feel like everything is crashing down…on you all over again.
There are things that you can do to speed up the healing process. I’m not saying that you will ever be completely…
