Narcissists often use DARVO—Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender—to flip the story, making you look like the abuser. They manipulate friends, family, and therapists, baiting you to react so they can claim victimhood. Staying silent, documenting abuse, and seeking trauma-informed support are key to surviving their smear campaigns and reclaiming your truth and dignity.

Narcissistic discards are brutal, calculated exits designed to destroy your self-worth. From sudden ghosting to public humiliation and blame-shifting, these tactics are meant to confuse, shame, and isolate you. But the discard isn't a reflection of your worth—it's proof you were waking up to their manipulation. Healing is possible, and reclaiming your power is the narcissist’s worst fear.

Escaping a narcissistic relationship isn’t just a breakup—it’s survival. This post offers six powerful healing strategies to help you rebuild: validate your trauma, set strong boundaries, master grey rock, grieve, forgive yourself, and give yourself closure. Recovery is messy, but possible. You’re not broken—you’re becoming who you were always meant to be.

Not all narcissistic abuse is loud and obvious. This blog uncovers subtle manipulation tactics like fake forgetfulness, veiled ultimatums, and guilt-tripping disguised as care. These behaviours may seem minor, but they slowly erode your confidence, boundaries, and identity. If you’ve ever second-guessed your feelings or felt like you're “too sensitive,” this post helps you name the abuse and start healing.

Narcissistic Victim Syndrome (NVS) refers to the trauma experienced after narcissistic abuse, marked by confusion, hypervigilance, low self-esteem, and intense self-doubt. Although not formally recognized in the DSM-5, it’s widely acknowledged by survivors and therapists. Healing begins with awareness, trauma-informed support, and rebuilding your sense of self after prolonged emotional manipulation and psychological control.

Narcissists use triangulation to provoke jealousy, control others, and avoid accountability by pitting people against each other. This manipulation appears in romantic, family, work, and friendship dynamics. Covert narcissists especially exploit it to harm subtly and maintain their facade. Recognising and resisting triangulation is crucial for healing, setting boundaries, and reclaiming your emotional power.
