What steps must a victim take to break free from this control? In this video, psychologist and psychotherapist Christine Calonne presents four steps to liberate oneself and re-establish secure relationships with oneself and others. The first is the fusion phase, where the victim gradually becomes aware of their dependence, the microaggressions, and the manipulation. They realize that dialogue is impossible despite their attempts. They cross the threshold into the second phase: rebellion against self-sacrifice and domination. They have reached the limit of what they can accept. They take action to free themselves from this undifferentiated relationship and overcome learned helplessness. They move into phase three, experiencing a period of solitude where they refocus on identifying and satisfying their needs to rebuild their identity. In the fourth phase, they can connect with others through self-awareness, autonomy, and interdependence. To learn more, you can read "Victims of Narcissistic Abusers: Healing the Trauma," published by Ellipses. You can also visit her website: www.psychotherapie-calonne.be.
