From Crazy-Making to Clarity: Understanding Narcissist Tactics
Manage episode 409304713 series 3560759
Your narcissist thrives on gaslighting you. That leads you to look “crazy” or paranoid, both to yourself and others. Because narcissists are so good at wearing their masks, it takes time to figure out what you’re dealing with, and then takes time and strategy to show others what’s really happening. Our legal and family court systems are not equipped to identify or handle extreme narcissists. Finally, there are 8 types of post separation abuse (from Tina Swithin). I encourage you to learn more about them so you can protect yourself, or support someone going through it!
