What Survivors of Narcissists Should Know Before Asking For Help

3. Not everyone will understand your story (including the people who are most qualified to).

Narcissistic abuse recovery is a unique experience, and it’s not one that should be taken lightly. Before you go telling your story to the world, or looking for professional help, you need to make sure you’re heading in the right direction and opening up to the right people. Not everyone is equipped to understand our experiences, nor should they. Get real about what’s happening, what comes next, and who you can trust.

Fundamentally, most of us understand we need to speak up about our experiences. Usually, this happens through therapy or through opening up to a close friend. But for this to be effective, we have to know what we’re speaking about and why. Intentions are key, but so is directing the information you’re sharing in a positive way.

Before you ask for help from the world around you, you need to get clear on what problems you’re facing. Unfortunately, narcissistic abuse doesn’t come with the luxury of others being able to point out the pain. See it from the inside out first.

Once you get clear on exactly what is happening to you, it becomes easier to share your story with the right people. That means therapists who believe that you’re dealing with narcissists, and those around you who have gone through similar manipulations.
