How To Heal After Narcissistic Abuse

This episode explores the concept of "respite care" for people in narcissistic relationships. The speaker suggests that people in relationships with narcissists often feel like they are engaging in a form of caregiving because of the constant need for validation and reassurance from the narcissist. The speaker proposes the idea of "respite care" as a way for those in these relationships to take a break from the emotional labor and find support and validation. While acknowledging that no formal system exists for this type of respite care, the speaker offers suggestions for how individuals can create their own versions of respite, such as spending time with supportive friends, taking solo trips, or engaging in activities that bring joy and a sense of agency.Follow us on social media and submit your story!Insta https://www.instagram.com/thenarcissistsurvivorsociety/Facebook https://www.facebook.com/narcissistsurvivorsocietyTiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@narcissistsurvivorgroupYouTube https://www.youtube.com/@NarcissistSurvivorSociety
