Things to Leave in the Past as You Heal From A Narcissist

Your heart does not just turn off. Your mind doesn’t just stop thinking about the narcissist. It is hard to let go of someone you have loved so deeply. As hard as it is to read healing from the narcissist means leaving a lot in the past. This doesn’t mean ignoring what happened to you. It does mean moving forward healthily. This post will help you to get unstuck. Become a survivor. Find out what you need to leave in the past to heal from the narcissist.

No more doubting yourself

After being with a narcissist you begin to doubt everything, yourself, the narcissist, and even the people in your support system. It is common for survivors to feel a decrease in confidence after such painful experiences with a narcissist. Practice exploring what is true for you. Make a point to trust yourself and your judgments. Start small and continue to build. Do not forget how powerful you are no matter what you have experienced.

Allowing the narcissist to manipulate you

Leave the manipulative hold the narcissist had on you in the past. You no longer have to let the narcissists’ behaviors control you. You get to be the main character in your life. The influence the narcissist once had is no longer welcomed here.

Considering the narcissist’s needs before your own

This is your chance to start putting your needs first. Focusing on what the narcissist needs took up a lot of your time. It might not feel comfortable in the very beginning. Practice exploring what you want and need to support yourself. Healing takes time. As you become more accustomed to putting yourself first it will become more natural for you. Doing this does not make you selfish. Making this healthy change means you are being more considerate of yourself.

Not forgiving yourself or giving yourself grace

The harsh judgments from past experiences and outbursts are in the past. Leave the unforgiveness and shame you have felt behind you. Many survivors of narcissistic abuse have responded in ways they are not proud of due to reactive abuse. Give yourself grace. Do not lose sight of your potential.

Letting triggers ruin your day

One of the scary parts about triggers is you do not know when they are going to happen. Instead of letting a triggering moment ruin your day practice recovering well. After the trigger has happened practice some self-soothing techniques. Try zeroing in on one of your senses (taste, touch, smell, sound, and hearing.) Focus on recovering after the trigger has happened. It helps to identify your triggers to help you better prepare for them. Of course, you will not know exactly every trigger but do what you can.

Feeling bad about starting over
