Anyone heal from Narcissistic abuse? (Or any trauma )

Some days I feel I will never heal. It was extensive, debilitating, awful abuse for 25 years straight..daily. I feel some of this was so horrible that I am too far gone to be helped. I have extreme self doubt which I read is a top result of Narcissistic abuse or trauma. I have read books and have been in therapy but most therapists do not offer much on tips or ways to really DEVELOP A SELF. The narcissist eradicates your Self. (And enjoys doing so)
I feel I don’t even deserve normal things or joy or love. Any tips that helped you..if you also experienced this atrocity? Thank you for reading🪻

I feel that way every day for the same reasons. I have put up with a lot. I honestly wish I knew how to change those same feelings. I sometimes think maybe I deserve it😞

Focus on Self-Love. Engage in small joys! For examples, nature walks, admiring cherry blossoms, small children's curiousity, joy and laughter. Build on that. For example, journaling, poetry. Invest in you. For example, buying something frivolous, because you love it. Or getting a pedicure or a massage or a spa. Share time with friends laughing, eating good food, talking. Stay close with family.

@Coralmist Do you have a pet? They give unconditional love, dogs especially! If you don't, consider getting one!

Have you asked your counsellor whether there is a support group for victims? Talking with others who have been through what you have been through would be a great help, I would think.

I experienced it. A lot of self love and patience. Also energy healing made all the difference in the world for me

You will be okay,
Just keep taking one step at a time. Acknowledge your gains, and be kind to yourself.
