202. The Guilt Narcissistic Abuse Survivors Feel When Life Gets Better

Hey, Survivor! Have you ever started feeling better after narcissistic abuse, a toxic relationship, or a traumatic season of life—only to feel guilty for being happy? Maybe you're enjoying your newly-found freedom, reconnecting with people, making plans, or rediscovering yourself. And you have a voice telling you that you shouldn't be happy, that you should be doing more, or that moving forward minimizes what has happened. You have nothing to prove. Your happiness matters, and so does the life you're creating now. In this episode, I’m talking about why guilt can show up as life gets better and how you can learn to make room for joy without dismissing your pain or your values. If you, or someone you know, are feeling guilty for enjoying your life after narcissistic abuse or other traumas, this is for you. Know who you're dealing with. Know who you are. 💚Lesley Book your call here. Become a Vibrant Survivor insider here. Let's connect on IG! Share today's episode and tag me @thevibrantsurvivor Contact [email protected]
