Thrive on your energy—whether it’s love-bombing, stealing your thunder/attention, or even causing pain—because it fuels their need for validation and dominance, which they see as power.
But….when you focus on your own healing and growth, you take your power back. This act will become the ultimate boundary: a refusal to engage, a decision to resist being drawn into their games, and a choice to prioritize yourself.
“What is the strongest response to a narcissist? NEVER GIVE THEM POWER.”
Choosing yourself is the act of reclaiming your power from their attempts to control you.
Healing is about validating your own experience without needing their apology or approval. It’s recognizing that your pain is real and deserves acknowledgment, even if they never take responsibility.
True healing isn’t dependent on their remorse; it’s about giving yourself the closure they couldn’t or wouldn’t offer. It’s reclaiming your power, prioritizing your peace, and moving forward knowing that your worth was never tied to their behavior.
Forgiving or excusing their behavior is not healing—it’s a bypass. True healing isn’t about minimizing what happened or pretending it didn’t hurt; it’s about fully acknowledging the pain, the betrayal, and the impact it had on your life. It’s about validating your own experience without needing their apology or approval.
Healing means giving yourself permission to feel the weight of what you endured while choosing not to carry it any longer. It’s drawing boundaries, reclaiming your narrative, and prioritizing your well-being over their excuses. An apology, if it comes, should never cost you your peace. True healing is about honoring yourself and the journey to get here.
