Narcissistic & Emotional Abuse

This is a photo of a variety of masks, denoting the many faces of a manipulating narcissist.

Emotional Abuse. Antagonistic Relationship Dynamics. Coercive Control.

Different terms can describe relationship patterns that leave you feeling:

Chronically unseen
Confused, foggy
Angry, frustrated
Sad, ashamed
Emotionally drained

These are the “What am I doing wrong?” - relationships. The ones that cause you to question yourself constantly. No matter what you say, how you say it, or how hard you try - somehow you’re always wrong.

Recognizing that you’ve experienced narcissistic abuse isn’t easy. Letting yourself see it clearly - and acknowledging what you’ve actually been living through - is painful, and takes real courage.

Narcissistic abuse doesn't only happen in romantic relationships. It can show up with a:

Parent
Friend
Child or sibling
Boss or coworker
Spiritual leader
Community or Institution

Letting go of responsibility for someone else’s behavior is one of the hardest parts of this journey.
