Techniques for healing from narcissistic abuse 

The Embers - Stage 4

Reparent your inner child

You may need to nurture your inner child by offering yourself the love, safety, and validation you never received. Self-compassion practices, inner child journaling, and affirmations can help. ​​​

Explore healing modalities

Now is the time to engage in deeper healing. This could include specialist therapy for abuse survivors, trauma-informed coaching, or somatic therapy.

Work on triggers

You understand what triggers you, but now you actively work on reducing their impact. Techniques such as grounding exercises, breathwork, and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) can help regulate your nervous system. 

​

Surround yourself with healthy relationships

You start seeking connections that are reciprocal, supportive, and aligned with your values. 

Create a life that feels good

You move away from survival mode and towards intentional living. Whether it’s making career changes, setting up a new home environment, or engaging in fulfilling activities, you focus on what makes you feel safe and empowered.
