After experiencing narcissistic abuse, it is difficult to feel like yourself again. The feeling of being gutted by the betrayal trauma makes you lose your sense of self. It hurts to heal from narcissistic abuse, and at the same time, you can have beautiful beginnings. Here are some tips on how to get your sense of self back after narcissistic abuse.
Take Time For Yourself
Give yourself permission to take time for yourself. Focus on your own needs. Instead of pouring so much into the narcissist redirect your time back to yourself. Taking time for yourself will give you the space you need to reflect. As you spend your time reflecting on your experiences and lessons learned you will also heal.
Create Healthy Boundaries
Creating healthy boundaries for yourself and others is an important way to develop your sense of self. Narcissists do not respect boundaries. When you commit to creating healthy boundaries you establish your standards of living. Learning to create healthy boundaries allows you to have more safety and stability. Healthy boundaries help you regain control of your life. You also can make decisions more clearly.
