How to Recover from a Narcissistic Relationship

If you have been in a relationship with a narcissistic person, then you know how challenging it can be to deal with these people. Narcissists are masters of manipulation. They are often very intelligent and charming only when you meet them. But once you learn more about their tactics and start to question their behavior, they begin to feel threatened. Then they will start acting like victims, and they will blame you for everything bad that happens to them.

And no matter how hard you try to convince them that you are not their enemy or try change their opinion they will analyze every word you say and continue with their manipulation. You probably think: “Maybe this time he/ she will understand”. “I will explain it in a way that he/ she will understand. ” But the more you try to explain, the more colder and manipulative they become. And do not be surprised if they tell you that you are stupid. So, yes, the more you try the more they will think that they are smarter than you and everyone else around them. And before you realize that you are dealing with a narcissist, you will think that you are crazy, you will feel unloved, or worse, that you are not worthy of anyone’s love and that you’ll be alone forever.

No one deserves to be treated that way, but the recovery from a narcissistic relationship can be a real challenge. Many individuals decide to ask for a professional help (psychotherapy) simply because they feel completely broken. The most important thing that you must remember is that the attitude and the treatment you experienced has nothing to do with you. It is not about you! You are the real victim here, not them. Everything you’ve been through is directly connected to the incapability of your partner to have a real relationship and connection with another human being. Asking for professional help is the right way to recover from a narcissistic relationship. Ask for a complete support from your family and friends who can help you find a way to fully recover.

The real problem with the narcissistic people is that they will never admit that they need to change. Remember that you deserve a relationship that allows you to grow, makes you feel safe, happy and loved. A narcissistic person cannot give you that. They just don’t know how to do that.
