We’ve been conditioned to ignore our intuition. “Why are you so emotional? It’s just a feeling—it’ll go away,” we’re told. The narcissist reinforces this disconnection by hiding their true self, presenting a dreamlike facade that is nothing but a mirage. This disconnection from our intuition is further reinforced by narcissistic cultures and systems, especially if you’ve experienced narcissistic childhood abuse.
This is why we often fail to listen to our bodies and intuition, missing the most crucial warning signs. Years of trauma, suffering, and grief could have been avoided if we’d listened to what our bodies were telling us. But you don’t have to blame yourself for this. You were not aware of what was happening, and your natural tendency as an empathetic person is to see the good in others. After betrayal, you may now question people’s motives, but back then, you didn’t have that awareness.
Healing after narcissistic abuse is incomplete without reconnecting with your intuition. It’s about coming back to yourself, connecting with your true, authentic self. If a predator shows up in your life again, your body will signal it, and you’ll know not to settle. Your body’s symptoms—those rashes, migraines, or stomach issues—aren’t nuisances but cries for help, urging you to run.
I want you to start paying attention to your intuition. How do you know when you’re hungry, thirsty, or tired? You feel it. That’s your body speaking to you. Your intuition works in the same way, and you have to strengthen that connection through mindfulness and awareness. I promise, if you do this, you’ll never fall for a narcissist again.
In conclusion, your body is your biggest ally when it comes to recognizing and fighting a narcissist. There is no stronger test than the signals your body gives you. You must come back to yourself, and you will be safe.
