Peeling Back the Layers: Understanding the Depth of Narcissistic Abuse
Leaving a relationship with a narcissist is only the beginning of the journey. At first, you may feel relief, but as time goes on, it’s like peeling back the layers of an onion. Little by little, you begin to see the countless ways you were manipulated, taken advantage of, and emotionally abused. It can be overwhelming, even shocking, to realize just how much worse the abuse was than you originally thought.
This clarity is not meant to break you—it’s a step toward empowering yourself. As these layers unfold, allow yourself to acknowledge the emotions that surface. Whether it’s anger, sadness, or disbelief, each emotion holds the key to your healing. By understanding the depth of the abuse, you reclaim your narrative, build emotional strength, and start creating the life you deserve.
At the end of the day, this process of peeling and understanding allows you to be the greatest expression of yourself. Each layer you shed brings you closer to freedom, resilience, and positive transformation. You are not defined by what happened but by how you rise.
