The relationship is over, but not the emotions.
You thought ending the relationship or setting better boundaries with the narcissist or toxic person would set you free. Still, now you are left swimming in a sea of overwhelming emotions.
Dealing with a narcissist or toxic person can leave you reeling and having to navigate complicated and confusing emotions that can lead to feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Perhaps you struggle with concentration, completing tasks, managing your emotions, or trusting yourself or others.
Logically, you know that narcissistic or toxic people are challenging to deal with, and their behavior is what makes the relationship impossible. But you sometimes wonder if you could have done or said something differently that would have made things better.
You are free of the person but still wonder why you don’t feel free.
The key to healing from this abuse is learning how much of what you think and feel is part of the healing process and learning new coping skills and thought strategies to break free from the emotional fallout from abuse.
Narcissists and toxic people have developed highly dysfunctional ways of interacting, which leave the people they interact with feeling as if they are the cause of the behaviors. But that is the farthest thing from the truth; instead, you became the supply to support their fragile ego.
Not learning about these things could keep you stuck in a sea full of complex emotions and not feeling “good enough” for years.

In my healing journey, I switched careers in my 40s and then started my own business – something I never thought possible when trapped in my marriage to a narcissist because he had convinced me I was nothing and would never amount to anything.
