Healing from Narcissistic or Emotionally Immature Relationships
Stop second-guessing. Start trusting yourself again.
Narcissistic or emotionally immature relationships can leave you feeling anxious, drained and unsure of what’s real. You may walk on eggshells, over-apologize, or question or your perceptions.
What Narcissistic or Emotionally Immature Relationships Can Look Like
- Pressure to keep the peace, meet shifting expectations, or earn approval
- Unpredictable moods, criticism, or emotional withdrawal
- Feeling like nothing you do is ever enough
Whether it was a parent, partner, friend, or colleague, relationships marked by manipulation, gaslighting, or blame can take a lasting toll on your confidence, boundaries and sense of self.
Signs You Might Still Be Impacted by the Relationship:
- Guilt for setting boundaries or having needs
- Anxiety, even in safe relationships
- Fear of conflict or being “too much”
- A harsh inner critic or constant self-doubt
- Disconnected from who you are
These are understandable responses to prolonged emotional stress—and they can be healed.
