Welcome to this guide to Narcissistic abuse. With the help of this guide, you will understand completely what Narcissistic abuse is, what it does and how to recover from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will show you examples of narcissistic abuse, books you can read, and even songs you can listen to. But let’s start with a good definition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Narcissistic abuse is a form of emotional abuse done by a Narcissist to someone they have a relationship<\/a> with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Continuous manipulative behavior, lying, gaslighting, and emotional blackmail can severely damage the person in the relationship physically, mentally, and cognitively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Narcissistic Abuse can be from a “loving” partner, a mother, father or other family member, and anyone who you are close with and has somehow influence and control over your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n #1 Gaslighting<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n #2 Smear Campaigns<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n #3 Narcissistic Rage<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n #4 Sexual Abuse<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n #5 Emotional Abuse<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #6 Projection<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n #7 Mirroring<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n #8 Lack of empathy<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n #9 lying<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n #10 silent treatment<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n #11 Love bombing<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n #12 Financial Abuse<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n #13 Hoovering<\/strong><\/a> and Hoovering Examples<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Read more about Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome<\/strong><\/a> in our extensive guide about this topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Narcissist often perpetrates repetitive behavior when it comes to their dating life. The people Narcissists date with are a reflection of their ego. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You might be a model, a very successful person, a smart athlete, or accomplish other important things to the narcissist. They see you and want you, and that is how the cycle of abuse<\/a> <\/strong>begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Idealization<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The narcissist idealizes you in the beginning of the relationship. They show their love and appreciation through something called Love bombing. A warning sign might be that you feel the relationship is going fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Devaluation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After the Idealization phase comes the Devaluation phase. They no longer see you as a perfect being they need to seduce and conquer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They are losing interest in the relationship and start using their manipulation tactics to get what they want and put you down\/ <\/p>\n\n\n\n Discard<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Narcissist discards their partner<\/strong><\/a> when they no longer get what they need in their relationship. As overwhelming as they came into your life, now they disappear and ignore you completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Continuous Cycle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The discard is not always final. When you feel better and want to continue with your life, they can show up on your doorstep, and the love bombing starts again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are some quizzes online you can try out to see if you are suffering from Narcissistic Abuse.
