Freedom from Toxic Relationships! Gain
While enduring narcissistic abuse, there is so much drama. There is drama on top of drama and so much so, it’s hard to find out the latest story. Told with intentions to confuse and to create circular conversations under the radar, it’s a tornado that meets earthquake. It’s a terrible chaotic mess that you can be grateful you are no longer enmeshed in.
When you say no to the toxicity, life seems more pleasant, there is more time on your hands (since it’s no longer involved with the crazy-making mind behavior) and you can think and concentrate again.
Part of the narcissistic abuse tactics are to keep you in a constant state of confusion–so you cannot think and concentrate and make wise decisions.
Decrease in Anxiety Levels- Gain!
When we are no longer being tormented emotionally by a narcissistic abuser, we will have less stress and anxiety. When we remove the toxicity, out goes a lot of the unnecessary drama and we can allow ourself to be clear-headed again.
Anxiety can distract and take our focus away from what we need to do. We can move on and focus on the items we neglected since anxiety and stress got the worst of us.
The longer we are away from the abuser, the sooner our body and mind will recover. It will take time and will not be overnight. When we are in a safe environment, our body can re-adjust and get out of survival mode and back into a proper homeostatic state.

Gain a New Concept about Relationships
After going through narcissistic abuse and having our eyes OPENED with seeing the abuse and recognizing it for the first time and seeing it for what it really is–will change everything from then forward.
The abuse was so compelling, so riveting, that it changed everything from that day forward.
We now have fresh eyes, and can see relationships in a whole new light, and we are open to learning and doing things differently. We have a hunger for authenticity, and to seek it out with others who are walking in that same path and mindset.
It's a Major Change
It’s a radical change.
We may have come from a family that this “abuse” was “love”. So, now that we see these things, we research and learn and come to terms with the past and gain an understanding that changes our perspective.
We test all of our existing relationships based on this new measure and we gain an understanding of changes that need to be made in ourself and with others to have a healthy, truly loving relationship. Every relationship will be explored for possible commonalities of health and removal of toxicity.
With this new vision, we gain new perspectives in ways to relate to people that was not possible before. We have come out of the fog; it has changed us and we are moving forward in a whole new healthy mindset and concept.
Embrace your Unlimited Potential - Gain!
When you see that others have put you down, berated, neglected historically for years and decades and realize it was all a farce, and realize the know the TRUTH, it will shake up your world.
What I meant by this is the lies we were told, devastating mistreatment by others and the realization of the truth, once reconciled, and once coming to terms with the real unbiased truth, this will change us. It will change everything.
The Truth will set us free and this is surely a gain!
There are those in your life who do not want you to be free. They don’t want you to know your worth, or your value, or to embrace your desires and ambitions. They want you to revert to be a prodigy, a master slave of someone else’s puppet strings so they can feel better and feel like they are worth it.

Gain New Skills, New Healthy Mindsets
The world is your oyster. This phrase is probably overused; however, it is true. There is so much that you can do once you set out to embrace your new mindset and unlimited potential.
Who says you can’t do something?
As we are moving forward and surviving narcissistic abuse, there is a time for grieving and loss. There will be times where you may feel apathetic and not feeling like doing anything, and that is okay. There is not one set path for recovery. It is a process, and by embracing the challenges that come with post-narcissistic abuse recovery and moving forward, it’s like the peeling of an onion. There is healing underneath. It may take time and it may be slow (as some consider slowness) but it’s worth it.
When ready, embrace new things that you have wanted to do for a while that someone told you not to do for one reason or another. Keep peeling back the layers of the onion. You will survive, you will make it.
While narcissistic abuse recovery it not without loss, there is much to gain from it as we embrace deep healing. Once toxic relationships have been removed, and the mind can get out of survival mode we can we can gain a new healthy mindsets and perspectives. When we truly embrace these new perspectives, and can walk (or run) in our unrestricted and unlimited potential while moving forward.
The future is ours, and there is so much more to gain.
Recovering from narcissistic abuse can seem like a daunting task that has no end in sight. We have been devastated in every way possible and many days do not see the light at the end of the tunnel. There is hope!
As each day passes there is an opportunity for new growth as we heal from the emotional roller coaster we have been on for a long time.
While it is hard to sometimes have proper perceptive as we are healing (because we may not know which way is up at times), we will gain clarity and get re-aligned as we see and remove the toxicity in our life.
It may take time to remove the toxicity but as we heal, we can see the toxicity exposed (that we may have never seen before) and as we move forward with our healing journey, avenues and opportunities will open up moving us toward our new unlimited potential, surviving and ultimately thriving.
