After Narcissistic Abuse: How Do You Find Yourself Again? | For Mannerless Women

What happens after you recognise narcissistic abuse?

How do you begin to rebuild your life and yourself?

In Part 2 of this For Mannerless Women conversation, Adelle sits down with psychologist and trauma therapist Perpetua Chomba to explore healing after narcissistic abuse. They talk about making sense of what happened without blaming yourself, grieving the relationship and future you imagined, rebuilding self-trust and rediscovering the parts of yourself you may have stopped expressing along the way.

Perpetua also shares why leaving a harmful relationship can require practical planning from finances and where you’ll stay to seeking legal advice and identifying people you can safely lean on. The conversation also explores harmful family relationships, boundaries, choosing what safety looks like for you, and questions sent in by the For Mannerless Women community. And ultimately, it’s a conversation about returning to yourself and building a life that doesn’t require you to abandon who you are.
