Why You Still Miss Them (Even After Everything) | The Alignment

You can know a relationship was toxic…


You can know it hurt you…


You can know you had to leave…


And still miss them.


That’s one of the most confusing parts of narcissistic abuse.


In this week’s Alignment, we talk about why that happens.


Because missing someone doesn’t always mean they were good for you.


Sometimes it means you were bonded to the cycle.


In this message we break down:


• Why narcissistic relationships feel so hard to let go of

• How intermittent reinforcement creates emotional attachment

• Why your mind keeps going back even when you know better

• And how healing begins when you understand what you’re actually feeling


You’re not broken for missing them.


You’re unlearning a pattern your mind got used to.


The Alignment is a weekly message dedicated to helping survivors of narcissistic abuse reconnect with themselves and move forward with clarity.


New messages every Sunday.


Stay powerful.
