If you're reading this blog, let me be the first to say, I've been where you are. Unsure if you have been a target of someone suffering from NPD - maybe it’s a family member, a co-worker, a partner, or a friend - I can help.

Start by taking the time needed to get clear if you have experienced narcissistic abuse. This is critical to your well-being.

Below you will find 7 signs you may have experienced narcissistic abuse.

Victims of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) often experience a range of negative emotions and feelings. Some common experiences include:

  1. Emotional abuse: Narcissists can be emotionally manipulative and may use tactics such as gaslighting, blame-shifting, and verbal abuse to control and manipulate their victims.

  2. Low self-esteem: Victims of NPD may begin to doubt their own worth and abilities as a result of the constant criticism and belittling from the narcissist.

  3. Anxiety and depression: Living with a narcissist can be a constant rollercoaster of emotions and can take a toll on a person's mental health. Some victims may experience anxiety and depression as a result of the abuse.

  4. Isolation: Narcissists may try to isolate their victims from friends and family, making them feel alone and unsupported.

  5. Confusion and manipulation: Narcissists often use manipulation tactics to control their victims, leaving them feeling confused and unsure of what to believe.

  6. Trauma: Prolonged exposure to narcissistic abuse can lead to symptoms of trauma such as flashbacks, nightmares, and triggers

  7. Difficulty trusting others: Victims of NPD may have a hard time trusting others in the future, due to the betrayal and manipulation they experienced in their past relationships.
