203. The Difference Between Self-Care and Escaping After Narcissistic Abuse

Hey, Survivor! Have you ever wondered whether you're really taking care of yourself—or just trying to escape uncomfortable feelings? After a narcissistic or toxic relationship, craving relief is understandable. You might stay busy, doom scroll for hours, work a lot, shop, binge-watch shows, or dream about getting away from everything. Sometimes these activities are comforting. But sometimes, our attempts to escape discomfort can become patterns that keep us disconnected from what we need. Self-care isn't always a spa day or a vacation. Sometimes it's rest, a healthy boundary, asking for support, or taking a simple step toward something you've been putting off. If you, or someone you know, are shaming yourself for wanting relief or struggling to figure out what supports your trauma recovery and well-being, this episode 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!
