In our latest blog at Acadia Psychotherapy & Associates, we explore the six stages of separation distress and how therapy can support healing through grief, loss, and heartbreak. Whether you're in McKinney or nearby, compassionate help is here.

Healing is possible. 🧠💔🪷

The deepest wounds aren’t always visible.

Narcissistic abuse isn’t just about what happened—it’s about how it shaped the way you see yourself. The self-doubt, the guilt, the confusion—none of it was yours to carry.

Healing doesn’t mean ignoring what you went through; it means gently rebuilding self-trust, piece by piece. You were never too sensitive. You were never the problem. You deserve to feel safe in your own mind and in your relationships.
