Healing After Narcissistic Abuse: Understanding Grief

It's important to understand that knowledge. So it's important to understand what happened. But oftentimes what people do- what I've noticed is that they will try to outsmart the narcissist by doing so much research and downloading so much information. They will feel like they've figured it all out. Making sense of that is oftentimes a waste of energy and time, and it certainly doesn't lead you to where you want to go, which is freedom and health.
Breaking free from narcissistic abuse can feel like an emotional whirlwind. In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein dives deep into the complex process of grieving after such a relationship. It's not just about the initial shock; it's about navigating through stages of grief that eerily resemble mourning a death. Yitz explains that the loss isn't just of a partner but of one's own innocence, dreams, and time.
This episode sheds light on how to confront these overwhelming feelings and move towards healing. Yitz emphasizes the importance of facing reality head-on, feeling your emotions, and processing grief in a healthy manner. Instead of getting lost in trying to outsmart the narcissist or over-researching, he advises focusing on self-compassion and patience. By understanding Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's stages of grief, listeners can better navigate their emotions, deal with anger, avoid harmful coping mechanisms, and ultimately find acceptance and closure.
Tune in to gain valuable insights on grieving and healing after narcissistic abuse, and learn how to reclaim your life.
