Today, we'll be discussing seven actions that narcissists usually take when you decide to enforce the 'No Contact' rule. However, before we delve into that, let's first understand what 'No Contact' entails.
Primarily, it's important to acknowledge that there are valid reasons why some of you might find it difficult or impossible to enforce 'No Contact' with the harmful narcissist in your life. That's perfectly fine. If you're in this category, this video might not be particularly pertinent to you. Everyone's circumstances are unique, and we all have to make decisions based on our current situations to manage our lives effectively. Therefore, if you're not in a position or willing to implement 'No Contact' at the moment, that's completely okay. I respect and appreciate your decision.
However, for many of you, 'No Contact' is undoubtedly the most effective strategy. Whether you've already implemented it or are planning to, you understand that it's going to be a significant factor in your healing and recovery process.
Enforcing 'No Contact' isn't a walk in the park. It often comes with irrational guilt, shame, and misplaced responsibility. It can be quite puzzling.
In many cases, we're fully addicted or trauma-bonded to these individuals. Thus, when we initiate 'No Contact', there will be a withdrawal period, which can be intensely painful, as I can attest from personal experience. The experience is similar to that of a smoker quitting smoking, an alcoholic stopping drinking, or a drug addict abstaining from their preferred substance.
Establishing 'No Contact' with someone you're trauma-bonded or love addicted to is like dealing with a full-blown addiction. The brain's biochemistry can cause actual physical withdrawal symptoms. When we take steps to escape such toxic and destructive relationship dynamics, we're bound to experience some withdrawal. It might be uncomfortable, and based on my experience, this discomfort can last for weeks, or even a few months. Riding this wave is challenging. However, establishing and maintaining 'No Contact' can be the determining factor in whether we successfully navigate to the other side.
