At Shadow Life, we are determined to provide tools that you can use to support yourself through the journey of healing from narcissistic manipulation and abuse. We want to empower you to reclaim your sense of self – to find ownership of yourself and your decisions as you walk this journey and emerge into the light.
Recovery from a narcissistic relationship is especially complex, but it is achievable. Our self-esteem may feel non-existent and we can be completely out of touch with a sense of our own autonomy and freedom. We may become stuck with our thoughts, our fear, our sleepless nights, our self-blame, and our panic attacks. There are so many layers and aspects we want to shift. How do you start?
In these pages, you will find in our reflections on narcissistic relationships much to relate to. We provide insights and somatic exercises you can use to help support you to process these difficult emotions and inner dialogues. In order to release yourself from the shadow of the narcissist, you must encounter and uncover your own wants, your own preferences and the light of your own power. As you practice, you become stronger and freer – and less likely to repeat the patterns that trap you. Healing becomes reality.
