Broken by a narcissistic ex

As the heading says, I’ve just come out of a rather nasty relationship with a narcissistic person. It has left me broken and not sure where to go or how to reach out for help to get my life back on track again. Any advice and suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Re: Broken by a narcissistic ex

Hello @darotu87 sorry to hear about what happened to you with your narcissistic ex partner.  You may have trauma such as PTSD associated with this relationship which requires healing.  Your nervous system could also be in a reactive stance as well as the fight or flight response associated with distress. You may have to walk away from relationships for a while to reset your brain chemistry so your brain is not addicted to the chemicals caused by your abusive partner.  You may also wish to explore affirmations around self esteem to change your subconscious.  All in all its not hard but this healing journey is uniquely yours and you will come out of it a wiser and stronger person 💙

Hi @darotu87  Your post was more than a year ago and I’m wondering how your life is now?

Re: Broken by a narcissistic ex

Hey @Glisten , I wanted to pop by because it was great to see you on tonight's Peer Group Chat about Building Trust. I didn't know where else to post it, so I thought I'd acknowledge it here.

 

Hope you are okay.

 

And yes, @darotu87 , it's good to check-in with you too! Hi!

Re: Broken by a narcissistic ex
