Healing After the Narcissist: Reclaim Your Power

Blaming yourself for a broken relationship is like walking around with a wound you never tend to - it hurts, it festers, and it steals your joy. But here's the truth:

Blame is a trap. It keeps you stuck in the past, fueling shame, guilt, and endless “what ifs.”
Responsibility, however, is power. It’s the brave act of saying: “This is what I accepted, this is how I responded, and now I choose differently.”

"Blaming yourself for the lost relationship leads to self-abuse. Taking responsibility for your role in the relationship, places you in power."

If you’ve stepped out of a relationship with a narcissist, you’ve likely questioned everything—your worth, your decisions, your identity. That’s not your fault. You were manipulated to doubt yourself.

But now, you have the chance to rebuild from the inside out. When you stop pointing fingers inward and start gently holding yourself accountable, healing begins.

You learn.
You grow.
You take back control.
• You build emotional strength that no one can shake.

You are not broken - you are becoming.

It’s time to stop the cycle of self-blame and start the journey of self-respect and growth.
