Divorce is no one’s idea of a good time.
Divorce is hard, exhausting,
and in the case of a narcissist – a sociopath,
or psychopath in divorce, it’s treacherous.

Narcissists in a divorce take the proceedings one step forward, eight steps sideways, and five back. What the heck is happening? Why do they do the things they’re doing? I can tell you this, though you do suffer, their behavior is not just to make you suffer. They delight in your suffering, but their motivation is deeper.

Confusion, anxiety, and walking
on eggshells takes a toll on our bodies.
As does terror, panic, and fear of our partner
who seems to be a monster now.

Repairing health after narcissistic abuse is something some of us are aware of as a priority. To some of us there’s a clear connection between failing health and their presence in our lives. Others of us might not realize our bad health is a result of the sustained stress of time spent with a pathological user, that narcissist aka sociopath. These creatures and their effects reach our entire being: mind, spirit, and body as we live in a constant elevated “fight-flight-freeze” cycle.
