Healing After Narcissistic Abuse: Your Path to Recovery

Healing from narcissistic abuse is different from recovering from a typical breakup. You're not just grieving the loss of a relationship. You're often trying to rebuild your confidence, trust your instincts again, and reconnect with the person you were before the relationship changed you.

Watching an episode of the new Matlock where Maddie talks about the difference between grief and trauma after losing a child to addiction. That really resonated with me.

I’m realizing that grief and trauma are not the same thing. Loving someone through years of addiction and mental illness leaves behind its own kind of hurt, even after they’re gone.

Losing my brother and my dad so close together changed me in ways I’m still working through. But slowly, I am starting to feel more like myself again. I’m trying to find my way back to the peace I feel when I’m out with my camera.

I’m sharing a photograph I took some time ago titled Looking Back. Lately, I think part of healing has been trying to find my way back to the sense of peace, quiet, and grounding I’ve always felt when I’m out with my camera.

I just need to remember to allow myself more grace.
