Healing after the end of a narcissistic relationship can be challenging especially when you have a lot of unanswered questions in your head. Healing however, is a choice you will have to make if you are ready to commit to detoxifying your life and move forward. Having survived relationships with covert and malignant NPD sufferers, here are some steps that can help you through the healing process:
- Go NO CONTACT.
Establishing NO CONTACT is vital to you setting the pace for your healing process. A part of you will want closure and want the narcissist to provide you with answers but you must never focus on the trauma bond in such a way that you put yourself at risk of further devaluation.

- JOURNAL
Start a journal and write down everything that comes to mind about the relationship. This will help you get a lot off your chest and out of your head. - SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP
Seek the help of a therapist or certified coach who understands what you have been through. Not every therapist or coach knows how to help you get through that is why is essential to look for those who understand and truly support those with such experiences. - FOCUS ON YOURSELF
Learn to heal from any hidden pain/trauma. Learn to love yourself and become committed to you becoming healthier and stronger - emotionally, mentally, spiritually and physically. - EDUCATE YOURSELF ON Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NDP)
Read up about NPD so that you can become aware of such relationships in order to avoid repeated patterns. - SURROUND YOURSELF WITH THOSE THAT CAN SUPPORT YOU
Have a close circle of people who will continue to help you forge ahead in life and help you stay positive always.
