The Will to Live after Psychological Abuse

Suicidal tendencies are common amongst people who are coming out of relationships with narcissists, sociopaths, and other crazy making personalities. There is often extreme loss of Self as well as loss of the illusion one has been living under. There is also loss of social support, friends and family members due to the crazy making energies of the relationship. Understanding why one has lost the will to live is an important part of the recovery process and so is regaining what has been lost. In this episode of Pandora’s Box we will be discussing why we lose the “Will to Live” and how to work with the feelings that are surfacing during such a dark time in our lives. We will also be talking about “The Journey into Darkness” and related Mythological characters who bring wisdom through their journeys.
