Ep 99: What is Narcissistic Abuse Recovery?
We'd love your feedback! What resonated for you in this episode? What do you want more of?
What does it mean to recover or heal from domestic violence or narcissistic abuse? I am not sure that there is a universal answer to this question. So my answer…”It depends.”
Your healing journey depends on so many different factors such as:
- Are you/were you legally married?
- Do you share children with your abuser?
- How old are your children?
- How financially dependent have you been on your abuser?
- What is your experience with your family of origin?
- What is your current level of emotional support?
- Do you have previous mental health conditions?
- Are you able bodied?
Why are these factors so important to look at when visualizing your healing journey? They will determine where you are going to start your journey, who you need to support you on your journey, what level of contact you will have to maintain with your abuser, and if the trauma from your abusive relationship will exacerbate other mental health issues you already experience.
So, instead of me telling you what recovery or healing looks like, I want you to think about what you want your life to look like. What would a life look like where you are content, have stability, can make autonomous decisions, feel confident in who you are and what you can do, and find some joy?
Some of the common strategies or areas of focus for healing from domestic violence are:
- Education
- Regulating Your Nervous System
- Redefining Your Sense of Self
- Creating a Strong Inner Circle of Support
- Safety
If you are not sure where you need to start on your journey, The Rising Beyond Community may be for you. You will get support from trained therapists and survivors as you determine what a life healed will look like for you. And once you have determined where you want to go, we will help provide you the strategies you need to get there.
