Leaving is just the beginning.
Many women who’ve left a narcissistic relationship describe a strange emptiness:
Relief, yes — but also confusion, grief, and self-doubt.
After months or years of gaslighting, emotional control, or criticism, you may feel unsure what’s real — or who you even are anymore.
Therapy offers a space to rebuild safety, trust, and self-worth from the inside out.
Recognising Narcissistic Abuse
Narcissistic relationships often follow a pattern:
-
Idealisation: Intense attention, affection, and “soulmate” behaviour.
-
Devaluation: Subtle criticism, control, and manipulation.
-
Discard: Emotional withdrawal, blame, or sudden abandonment.
Over time, this erodes confidence and creates trauma bonds — emotional dependence that makes it hard to leave, even when you want to.
Common Feelings After Narcissistic Relationships
-
Constant self-doubt or guilt
-
Hypervigilance and anxiety
-
Difficulty trusting others
-
Emotional exhaustion or numbness
-
Grieving the person you thought they were
These reactions are normal. They’re symptoms of trauma — not personal weakness.
How Therapy Supports Recovery
Therapy provides a safe, non-judgemental space to:
-
Understand the dynamics of narcissistic abuse
-
Reconnect with your own perception and intuition
-
Rebuild self-esteem and internal boundaries
-
Process grief and anger safely
-
Learn tools for recognising red flags in future relationships
I combine trauma-informed psychotherapy, CBT, and somatic awareness to help you rebuild safety both mentally and physically.
Rebuilding Self-Worth
Recovery means remembering who you were before you were told you were “too much” or “not enough.”
Through therapy, you’ll begin to reconnect with your voice, your needs, and your capacity for healthy love.
