Unfolding Narcissistic Abuse Post Effects

Hello all! I created this session to breakdown how previously dealing with a narcissist and going through narcissistic abuse affects our day to day lives and relationships after the fact. My goal is to get a better understanding of our symptoms and to learn how to control it so it doesn’t control us.

Topic context

Understanding trust issues

When trust has been broken—through betrayal, trauma, or neglect—it can be hard to feel safe in future relationships. Trust issues can affect personal and professional life, leading to fear, withdrawal, or over-vigilance. Peer support helps participants explore these struggles in a space where honesty and vulnerability are welcomed. Hearing how others rebuild trust can offer hope, perspective, and new tools to gradually open up again.

Why it helps

How peer support helps with trust issues

Peer support helps with trust issues because betrayal, inconsistency, and past hurt can shape how people relate long after the original pain. A group can help people feel less alone, more understood, and more able to rebuild safety at their own pace.
