What is Narcissistic Abuse

Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Narcissism has become a popular term in today’s society. With the increased exposure of the often damaging effects this character flaw can have on people, relationships, organizations, and society it is no wonder people are wondering what to do and how to heal from it.

The Impact of Narcissistic Abuse

Surviving Narcissistic Abuse is never easy. The trauma that often comes from surviving narcissistic abuse shapes the relationships we have with others and the one we have with ourselves and thus needs specialized treatment.

Why Specialized Treatment Matters

While many great and well-intended therapists and coaches may be aware of narcissism, they frequently lack the additional skill set and knowledge of treating survivors and can unfortunately do harm to individuals who are already going through a world wind of issues. That is why it is important to seek out someone who you can trust, is highly skilled in the area, and gets it.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  1. What is narcissistic abuse?

Narcissistic abuse occurs when individuals with strong narcissistic traits or Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) manipulate, gaslight, or emotionally, financially, physically, or spiritually harm others to maintain control and bolster their own fragile ego. This insidious form of abuse often causes profound psychological trauma, leaving survivors deeply confused, insecure, and traumatized, with lasting impacts on both mental and physical health.

  1. How do I know if I’m dealing with a narcissist?

Identifying a narcissist can be challenging, even for professionals, especially early in a relationship. Narcissistic individuals often seem charming and attentive at first, but over time, their behavior can shift to become controlling, manipulative, and gaslighting, potentially escalating to forms of sexual, financial, or even physical abuse. Narcissism exists on a spectrum, but common signs of higher-than-normal narcissistic traits include constant criticism, emotional manipulation, lack of empathy, making you feel inadequate, and causing you to doubt your own reality.

  1. How long does it take to heal from narcissistic abuse?

Healing from narcissistic abuse is a personal and unique process. The timeline varies based on the severity of the abuse, your support system, and the treatment you receive. On average, consistent therapy can significantly help within 6-12 months, but recovery may take longer for deep-rooted trauma.

  1. Is therapy for narcissistic abuse different from regular therapy?

Yes. Therapy for narcissistic abuse requires specialized knowledge of the psychological dynamics at play in these relationships. Traditional therapy may not address the unique emotional trauma caused by narcissists, which is why working with a therapist experienced in narcissistic abuse is crucial for healing.
