Attunement and Mindfulness Month

Healing from Narcissistic Relationships

June 2026

Month Overview: 

Attunement is something you did not receive in your narcissistic relationships and is something that is central to healthy relationships and development. We can take this topic deeper and recognize that attunement is not just to other people, but also to ourselves.   When we attune to ourselves, we recognize that we are tired, or hungry, or may need a break, or to be creative, or engage in activity that is aligned with our sense of self, spirituality, meaning, or purpose. We may focus on a need we have or something we want to explore. Self-abandonment means the loss of self-attunement. And too much self-attunement isn’t good either. On top of it- you are actually REALLY great at attuning to others – because the narcissistic relationship basically requires hyper-attunement to others. Healthier attunement can be cultivated through mindfulness – a big word everyone talks about, and that is central to healing, so this month, we are going to take mindfulness on – why it matters, and why it can be SO CHALLENGING when we are experiencing or have experienced narcissistic relationships.
