Ready to Start Your Journey?

There are several types of narcissism, each with distinct traits and behaviors. While all forms involve a pattern of self-centeredness, a lack of empathy and a need for attention and admiration, the expression of these traits can vary, and it is crucial to become well-acquainted with patterns and tactics. Identifying the narcissist in your life will allow you to tailor your responses and avoid being drawn into their manipulation.  Let’s explore which variation(s) you may be engaging.

 Narcissists typically follow a pattern of behaviors aimed at controlling others. These behaviors are often carried out covertly yet sensed emotionally or even energetically early in the relationship by way of feeling unsettled or that something is “off.”  In learning how to recognize these tactics, you can break free from the narcissist’s grip and safeguard your emotional health. It is essential to understand the basics of narcissism, narcissistic abuse, and related dynamics.  

Narcissists tend to target women who are empathetic, high achieving, and currently in a vulnerable life space because they provide a combination of emotional “supply,” status elevation, and susceptibility to manipulation. This collection of circumstances allows the narcissist to attempt to feed their insatiable needs. Avoid becoming a target in future relationships by setting and maintaining boundaries. 

Remember, healing is within reach, and you deserve relationships grounded in loyalty, kindness, and respect. Breaking free from a narcissistic relationship is a process that can take time. Prioritize your own well-being and strategically carry out your personalized healing journey in targeted and supportive therapy sessions.
