What are the recovery stages of Narcissist Abuse?

Again, I want to emphasize my experience may have or may not been narcissist abuse. But below I’ll outline a quick short stage plan to freedom.

1. Label: Break away from the label as narcissism, psychopath, or whatever it is you believe your partner to have. Just label the behavior. If they are lying, cheating and manipulating you, IT’S ABUSIVE! Label it like wise! I spent years trying to get the right psychological term for what “mind fucking” was going on. It was driving me to insanity. All I needed to know was she was a cheater, liar and manipulator. That is ALL I needed to know. The rest was wasted mental exhaustion.

2. Acceptance: We can call this cognitive dissonance(The constant questioning of good/bad.)You HAVE to accept the person for who they are! Don’t get sucked back in with broken promises and word salad that makes you believe they are wanting to change! I know you desperately want to believe their nice side, but in doing that it will keep you trapped in a state of confusion. Questioning everything and everybody. Who they are when they are mean is exactly who they are!

3. Trauma Bond: This is the final gut wrenching stage. So freaking powerful it is sickening. I’m here to tell anyone that thinks there is no hope for you, I’m telling you there is!! I was so hung up on her. I would embarrass myself…
