Understanding the Healing Plateau and How to Overcome It
If you’ve hit a plateau in your narcissistic abuse healing process, you are not the only one.
It happens to many people and is something I experienced. A plateau means you’re not growing anymore and need elevation to reach a new level of expansion. Perhaps you’ve disconnected from the narcissist and healed the core wounding of narcissistic abuse, yet you still feel exhausted, uninspired, and have no idea who you are and what you want in life.
The way out of the healing plateau is to challenge yourself, awaken spiritually and align with your soul’s purpose.
Challenging yourself will push you out of the funk and give you a sense of accomplishment. Accomplishment will raise your confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth. The trauma of narcissistic abuse destroys all three of these. It might be time to study something new, make a career change, relocate to a new place, find a new social group, start a business idea or find a creative pursuit.
If you’re going through the dark night of the soul keep going.
The dark night of the soul is temporary but may endure for a long time. It’s called the dark night because the destination is unknowable. You can’t see the light through the darkness. The illumination is the spark of hope that lights the fire. It will show you the way out of spiritual darkness. It will lead you toward the union with god. You can’t wait for it to happen, though – you have to put yourself out there and start making things happen for you.
Awaken spiritually, and I don’t mean the new age fake awakening. I mean true spirituality – grounded in action and the inner knowing of all you are. It is the part where you reclaim your soul. Commit to your spiritual growth and conscious evolution. You’ll realise how insignificant narcissists are in the grand scheme of things. Spiritual growth is about remembering who you are. Conscious evolution is about understanding who you are. It’s a process of undoing the conditioning and programming placed upon you from birth to mould you into who the controllers of this world want you to be.
It was their dream, not yours.
Doing the inner work will propel you toward something bigger than you could imagine. It will open up the door to align with your soul’s purpose. Aligning with your soul purpose is your ticket to freedom and expansion. It will shift you from the narcissist paradigm into a life of meaning and self-expression. You get to tap into your unchartered potential and embody the true essence of who you are. There is no better feeling than living a divinely guided life and trusting in the path destined to unfold for you.
The destined path is the one that lights a fire inside of you.
When you are ready, it will come to you intuitively. In the meantime, I recommend looking into Human Design and your life path number to gain some insight into yourself. Your life path number will reveal your strengths, weaknesses, talents, and ambitions. Human design is a super enlightening system for understanding your energy centres and role here on earth. There are five energy types – Manifestors, Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, and Reflectors. It’s a powerful tool for navigating life and career to utilise your innate gifts and abilities assigned to you at birth.
A healing plateau is not there to discourage you – it is there to remind you that it’s time to make some necessary changes.
It’s an incredible time to be alive, and the human race is only beginning to scratch the surface of our potential in this time of great awakening. But reaching our full potential is only possible by taking action and doing the necessary inner work to transform ourselves and the collective.
