Navigating the 8 Stages of Recovery from Narcissistic Abuse with Mandy Friedman

Life happens, things come up and we have to preserve our progress, which is stage eight and the last stage of recovery: preservation.
Ever felt trapped in the toxic web of a narcissistic relationship and wondered how to break free? Mandy Friedman, a seasoned counselor and trauma expert, is here to guide you through the labyrinth of recovery. In this episode of SNAP: Survivors of Narcissistic & Abusive Personalities, Mandy outlines the 8 Stages of Recovery from Narcissistic Abuse, a roadmap she has developed through years of working with survivors.
These stages—questioning, discovery, education, detoxification, confirmation, reorientation, reintegration, and preservation—serve as stepping stones toward healing and reclaiming your life. The journey begins with questioning, where you start to ask yourself those nagging questions about your experiences. As you move into discovery, you begin to uncover the truth and learn the language of narcissistic abuse. Education follows, helping you differentiate between simply knowing and truly understanding what you're going through.
Detoxification is a pivotal stage where you start making life changes, focusing on self-care and setting boundaries with those who drain your energy. Confirmation brings the first rays of hope as you see the benefits of your efforts. Reorientation is about setting new goals and changing your life's direction. Reintegration helps you weave these changes into your daily routine, and finally, preservation ensures that you maintain your progress with periodic check-ins with your therapist.
Mandy's empathetic approach makes this episode a must-listen for anyone grappling with the aftermath of narcissistic abuse. Whether you're a survivor or a concerned loved one, you'll find valuable insights and practical advice to help you on your path to recovery. Tune in to SNAP and take the first step towards healing.
