6. Maintenance.
The sixth stage is maintenance. And during this stage, you will continue your healing, but most importantly, you put this experience and everything that you have gone through to good use.
The wisdom and the education you have earned is not something you will ever take for granted, and you are incredibly selective about whom you allow in your life. You cherish your peace, your independence, and that the happiness that you have fought so hard to achieve. It’s been a long road getting to this point and you have no intentions of ever interacting with someone like this ever again.
Your boundaries are strong. You can spot the narcissist out there long before they spot you. You put all that you have experienced to good use in the form of wisdom. The naive person you once were is long gone. you’re protective of your new life and you are very selective about who you choose to allow into this new and improved life you’ve created.
You realize what is at stake if you have a lapse in judgment or a break in your boundaries, and those things are just simply not an option for your life ever again. Lesson learned so to speak.
