Healing From Covert Narcissistic Abuse

Time doesn't heal all wounds, effort does. You can't lay around and wait for a broken leg to heal. It takes doctor visits and physical therapy visits. If you just wait for time to heal it, you will face residual pain and issues for the rest of your life. Negative feelings are normal along the way, such as regret, frustration, self-judgment, despair, impatience and caution. An abused and beaten heart is no different. Time won't heal it. It takes effort, purposeful healing and work. Get on the journey of healing and start taking one step at a time.

I had panic attacks and heart palpitations for over a year after no contact. I couldn't sleep for more than 3 hours at a time for about 8 months. I am very strong and resilient. I am thriving now.

Like the stages of grief, I believe there is stages of healing from this trauma. I still get triggered constantly by events and certain phrases and its been a few years away from her. I think I would have healed from any physical trauma I would have sustained, in less time.

My therapist tells me that regularly

[@debralietz2787]

After almost 2 years out....I still deal with panic attacks. Feel I will never heal.

Oh oh oh 14 years insane marriage to the passive aggressive covert narcissist. I was soooo sick. IBS. Adrenal fatigue. Depression. 3 nervous breakdowns. 7 therapists. Nightmare from hell. The 8th therapist saw him for what he was. I was at the end. Divorced and left one year later Free since June 2017. Healing growth and recovery happen daily You are amazing. Thank you for identifying exactly what happened😊

I left, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. It would have been easier to see black eyes. My health definitely took a hit. And ALL my relationships were broken because of them.

I told my sole remaining friend the other day (The only mutual friend who talked and listened to both sides) "It isn't that I don't trust you; I do, you have shown I can. it is that I don't trust myself to make the decision of who to trust anymore."

It damaged me so badly for the third time that my friends and family can’t even deal with it anymore. I am healed but everyone’s gone. I feel beautiful. I’m back to the beautiful heart and child I was plus healed and then pulled up my big girl adult panties and am just rocking it, however, I miss some of the people from my past, but if they’re not willing to be here for me, so be it! I have my faith. I have my soul and I have my beautiful personality. I love healing people I love taking care of people and I love my home and who I am and what I represent.

Thank you for the work you do and sharing all you do! God bless and keep you and your loved ones!!

You make so many excellent analogies. They are very helpful for clearing the fog that lingers after one has found one's self trapped in the control beam of a covert narcissist. I endured several in my life---and now that I am out of their orbit, and safe, I am much better at spotting their little sneaky subterfuges and tricks. But the healing can take awhile, depending on their specific relationship with you. How I wish we had known about how these people operate, sooner. At least it is out on the table and being discussed, finally. ALL parents should be given courses on how to protect their children from these types. They are everywhere, sadly.

So true some people never get over an ex.

Can you suggest a therapist that understand and can work online?

[@cngreneeswanson]

I do not know of a specific therapist who understands, but I do know that they are out there. I do offer group and individual coaching centered around a Healing Program that I created through years of research and connecting with other survivors. If you want more info on this, here is my website www.covertnarcissism.com
