How can the Holistic Living Framework Help?
Individuals stuck in a narcissistic relationship generally have two common scenarios.
Scenario A: The constant abuse, mind games, and manipulation leave them feeling exhausted and helpless. With little to no mental energy, they almost become desensitized to narcissism, staying put in the relationship no matter what. Moreover, a narcissist may not ‘always’ be bad. They may exhibit good behaviors and random acts of service and affection. This unpredictability can leave you feeling confused. You may strive to ‘win’ over the narcissist, or keep waiting for them to be ‘good’ again.
Scenario B: You finally find the strength to leave the narcissistic relationship. Yet, you constantly feel a pull toward them. That is trauma bonding. Somewhere your mind gets addicted to the toxic cycle, seeking the adrenaline rush and drama again. The trauma bond can make it almost impossible to truly move on from the narcissist and reclaim your life. Some individuals may even develop PTSD, or inherit traits of narcissism as defenses. In every scenario, somehow you would always be attached to the narcissist.
Moving on and healing from a narcissist is way more complex and challenging. You need to break the patterns at a subconscious level, consciously do the inner work, and cut all energetic ties with the narcissist.
Holistic Living Framework involves proven therapeutic and healing modalities such as:
Hypnosis: Helps you tap into your subconscious mind, release blocked emotions, beliefs, and memories tied to the narcissist, and develop a resilient, positive,e and calmer mindset. Techniques of hypnosis can also help to rebuild your self-esteem and create a stronger self-identity and a confident attitude.
Psychotherapy: Therapy practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, etc help to make changes at the conscious level. It empowers you to set firm boundaries, manage triggers, and deal with the narcissist without hampering your inner peace and well-being.
Inner Child Healing: At times, childhood wounds or trauma can freeze our inner child. If you were raised by a narcissist, then you are likely to attract similar relationships. Moreover, a wounded inner child may settle for less because they believe that’s what they deserve so they tolerate the narcissist’s abuse and disrespect. Inner child healing would help to heal from those childhood memories, change self-sabotaging behaviors, and create space for positive connections
Past Life Regression Therapy: Sharing a traumatic relationship with a narcissist may not always be a present life issue. If you feel a strong pull toward them then chances are there is some past life connection, karmic debt, or unresolved issues with this narcissist person. Past Life Regression Therapy helps to address the origin of the relationship, resolve conflicts, dissolve curses, and break generational patterns, freeing you from the narcissist once and for all.
Energy Healing: Being exposed to narcissistic abuse can create blockages in your chakras, leading to imbalances in your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Energy Healing techniques such as Chakra Healing, Pranic Healing, Quantum Healing, etc can restore the balance, and protect you from further negativity. Moreover, practices such as cord-cutting can help to break energetic ties with the narcissist.
