Do You Have to Go No-Contact with a Narcissist? The Truth About Taking Your Power Back

You’ve Been Told That the Only Way to Break Free Is to Cut Them Off Completely.

No calls.
No texts.
No interactions.
No explanation.

And for some people, that’s the right choice.

If your safety is at risk, no-contact is absolutely necessary.

But what if that’s not your situation?

What if this person is a parent, sibling, co-worker, or co-parent?
What if cutting them off entirely would cost you financially, legally, or emotionally?
What if you’ve tried no-contact, and somehow, they always pull you back in?

You start thinking, "If I can’t go no-contact, does that mean I’ll never be free?"

And that’s exactly the trap.

The Lie: "The Only Way to Heal Is to Disappear from Their Life Forever."

No-contact is a tool, not a magic cure.

Because even if you go no-contact but still:
Obsess over what they’re thinking.
Fear running into them.
Replay old conversations in your head.
Feel like they still have emotional control over you…

Then you’re still on the disempowered see-saw.

Because here’s the hard truth: No-contact doesn’t set you free. Emotional detachment does.

What to Do Instead: Step Off the See-Saw, Get on the Swing

You don’t need to disappear to break free.
You don’t need to cut them off to move on.
You don’t need to fear contact—you just need to stop letting it affect you.
