What is Narcissistic Abuse
Narcissistic abuse is a form of emotional abuse characterized by manipulative, controlling, and often deceitful behaviors from a narcissistic individual. It involves a pattern of psychological manipulation, where the abuser undermines the victim’s self-esteem and sense of reality through tactics such as gaslighting, constant criticism, and belittlement. The narcissist often employs charm and flattery to draw in their victim initially, only to later devalue and discard them. This cycle of idealization and devaluation leaves the victim feeling confused, worthless, and emotionally drained. The abuser may also isolate the victim from friends and family, making them increasingly dependent on the abuser for validation and support. Over time, the victim's sense of self-worth is eroded, leaving them feeling trapped and powerless within the relationship.
How Therapy Can help you heal From Narcissistic Abuse
Therapy can be a crucial component in recovering from narcissistic abuse, providing a safe and supportive environment for healing. Through therapy, victims can begin to unravel the manipulative tactics used by the narcissist, gaining clarity and insight into the abusive dynamics of their relationship. Therapists can help rebuild the victim’s self-esteem and sense of self-worth, which are often severely damaged by narcissistic abuse. Additionally, therapy offers practical strategies for setting boundaries, recognizing healthy relationship patterns, and developing coping mechanisms to manage emotional triggers. By addressing the trauma and fostering resilience, therapy empowers survivors to reclaim their autonomy, rebuild their lives, and move forward with confidence and strength. Neshama Soul Therapy provides a person-centered approach utilization various modalities including EMDR, DBT, and EMT to help you heal and recover with an approach that is non-judgemental, empathic, and provides the support needed.
