Why It’s So Hard to Heal from Narcissistic Abuse

A feather in the sunset representing the process of healing and reclaiming self-trust.

After a long cross-country flight to put thousands of miles between me and my ex, I stepped out of the airport into the sticky Florida heat.

I got into the car, feeling a wave of relief—he no longer had physical access to me. He had no idea where I was.

But as I cranked up the air conditioning, I was hit with an overwhelming mix of emotions.

💔 A heaviness in my body—grief, shame, and heartache weighing me down.
💛 Gratitude—for getting myself out and having family to help me.
💨 And a disorienting emptiness—a feeling of having no idea who I was anymore.

I could deal with grief, shame, and heartache. I’d been there before. I knew how to let emotions flow through me so they could release.

But this? Feeling so completely lost and turned upside down? That was new.

What It Took for Me to Heal

Healing from narcissistic abuse isn’t like recovering from any other kind of breakup.

I’d ended relationships before, but leaving a narcissist was like nothing else I’d ever experienced.

The gaslighting, manipulation, and mind games turned me from a confident, self-assured person into a shell of myself.

It stripped away my ability to trust my own perceptions—the very compass I had always used to navigate life.

My ex was a spiritual teacher. He introduced me to “tools” on my spiritual journey that made me question everything I had ever known… but not in a good way.

Rebuilding Myself from the Ground Up

Healing meant:
Unwinding the false spiritual teachings that had manipulated me.
Taking a long break from dating to figure out what real love is.
Getting to the subconscious root of why I was drawn to a narcissistic partner in the first place.

Before meeting him, I thought I had good self-worth and confidence—but in reality, I had:
❌ A deeply ingrained familiarity with unhealthy relationship dynamics.
❌ A belief that I had to earn my worth in relationships.
❌ A belief that my love could heal them.
❌ A habit of overriding my own needs because I was terrified of being alone.

With the energy healing tools I now use with my clients, I released the emotional baggage and rewired my subconscious beliefs.

And slowly but surely, I found my way back to myself.

But this time? With deeper self-love than ever before.
