Techniques for healing from narcissistic abuse 

The Rise - Stage 5

Embrace Change

​This stage often brings major life shifts—changing careers, moving home, ending or beginning relationships, or pursuing dreams that were once suppressed. Welcome these changes as part of your new, empowered life. 

​

Continue personal growth

Thriving doesn’t mean the work is over—it means you are committed to growth. You may explore deeper healing practices, coaching, or mindset work to keep evolving. 

​

Surround self with healthy people

You attract and maintain relationships that are reciprocal, supportive, and drama-free. You now have a strong radar for toxic behaviours and remove them quickly. 

​

Live by your boundaries

Your boundaries are firm and non-negotiable. You no longer allow anyone—whether a partner, family member, friend, or colleague—to cross them. 

​

Find purpose

Many survivors in this stage find a deep sense of purpose, whether through advocacy, creativity, business, or personal fulfilment. You use your past experiences as a source of wisdom rather than pain.
