From Idealization to Discard, It is All Abuse!

Watch 7 Phases of Shared Fantasy: Why Narcissist Needs YOU • 7 Phases of Shared Fan...
Why does narcissistic abuse cease after the shared fantasy is definitely over? What in the shared fantasy triggers abusive misconduct?
The shared fantasy metamorphesizes and mutates. It can become paranoid or anticipatory or courting or nostalgic.
It is terminated only via mortification, successful devaluation (betrayal), or appropriation (introject taken over by a substitute maternal figure).
Once switched off, the abuse stop instantly and thoroughly. Why is that?
The maltreatment within the shared fantasy is reframed by the narcissist as tough love, reactive abuse, a test of loyalty and allegiance, or the outcome of disillusionment with and exposure of the partner (devaluation).
But the abuse is also a form of cathexis. It is a pattern of attempts to coercively align the external object with the idealized internal object in order to maintain the idealization.
The narcissist mislabels idealisation as profound love because it is a reciprocal process (co-idealization) and involves maternal introjects.
But the narcissist associates love with hurt and anxiety. The abuse is a prophylactic: preemptive effort to forestall pain and, possibly, mortification by controlling and manipulating the potentially frustrating objects, both external and internal.
When the internal object is dormant (suspended), discarded, or no longer idealised (cathected), it no longer possesses the power to hurt the narcissist. At that point, there is no longer call for abuse. Any interaction following this phase is civil, even amiable.
Still, the minute the object is re-idealized (recathected in the hoovering phase), the abuse starts all over again.
Abuse and idealisation are inextricably linked because idealisation is a form of abuse: it involves objectification, parentification, and instrumentalization.

The only abuse that I enjoyed was in the beginning when she was hovering and idealizing me but that only lasted about 6 months. The day of our wedding and I mean literally the day, it was like a light switch was flipped on. It was so night and day of a difference, I seriously thought about cancelling the wedding. In hindsight, I wish that I did because I could have avoided 17 years of hell. Recent subscriber here. I've watched a ton of video's over the years but you have made narcissism elementary.

It all changed because of engulfment anxiety. My girlfriend has bpd and the good phase only lasted 6 months aswell. After that more 6 months of hell. All changed when she began treatment with therapy and medication (she takes pristiq). Now we are back to the 6 months of heaven so far. Treatment is important!

I see exactly how they try to test and see if you can still be pulled into the shared fantasy again with them, even when it’s over. My ex of 30 years dumped me for a 23 year younger “stylist,” performed a brutal and horrific smear campaign against me, stole and hid money from me during divorce and then showed up at my dad’s funeral last year (2 years post divorce) and was upset he couldn’t sit with me and our kids during the service, lol, then proceeded to love bomb me for weeks after the funeral, telling me what an amazing person I was, how he missed me so much, etc…and I actually felt those same “drugged” feelings I had at the beginning of the relationship, realized how icky it was and fully blocked and went no contact. No more delusions for me. I’ll take the truth-served up cold.

[@Trashpanda888]

Sounds like your ex saw an opening with your father passing. He used a significant event to try to weasel his way in. He was hoping that you were vulnerable enough and that you forgot about the mistreatment you went through. Glad you were strong enough.

[@loriallen9237]

Which is why I would never want my ex to find out about any family deaths... We have a mutual restraining order (but I have never and would never attempt to contact him- it was just quicker than any other type of order) but I know he'd try to contact me. It wasn't weeks after our final court date before he sent an email to my attorney and me!? These guys are nuts.

Overall - It never ends. The risk of being re-idealized is always present. You never know if your introject will be re-idealized. Only one solution to that; Never ever let him/her into your life again.

Idealization, love bombing, sex bombing was great and then they became a monster you could have never imagined before..devaluating you and finally discarding you like a trash

[@clv603]

The comedic irony in the narcissist's infinitely flawed perspective is they can easily obtain what they need from their partner--affection, kindness, acceptance, adoration, etc by discarding the introject instead of the external object. The non-comedic irony is despite after repeated inevitable failures of people unable to align with their internal representation within the shared fantasy, they never learn their introject is the common denominator of failure. Their conviction of "finding the true one" keeps the idea of a perpetual, perfect shared fantasy intact forever. This is easy to spot if you're dating in the 35+ age pool, they reframe their failures as "just not having found the right one yet" despite being at that point and have dated several partners in their adult lives.

[@kimberlyfloyd1009]

You nailed it!!!! I should have known better to believe that he just hadn't met the "right woman" yet at 43 years old... Red flag, RUN! And instead, married this weirdo. Lesson learned. I even remember saying to him about his past girlfriends, "Um, well, the common denominator here is you..." We really do not give ourselves the credit we deserve that our intuition is pointing us towards... I will never doubt my gut check again. We knew it and ignored the red flags in order to somehow love them through it.

This touches on the darkest side of my ‘past’ relationship. One that I never believed could be articulated or communicated to anyone. My ex partner believed his abuse was ‘helping me’ to fulfil my potential 😢… become my higher self. I think he still believes that this relationship has served to do this… ironically in some ways it has as I recognise the humongous amount of work and inner strength in my battle to truly heal but it’s such a twisted and toxic mentality. Even now I’m (2 years out) I’m constantly aware of not being sucked back in to the shared fantasy even though there is no contact!

Well, “Kaputt” is a pretty correct word for what’s left of me. I’ve watched this video 3 times now, and am kind of shocked. Your video explains everything that within all these years never made sense, even after watching like 500 other videos and literature in more than 4 years. Now it does 🧨 Around a decade ago I was diagnosed with a very bad cancer and treated with every bad therapy available on this planet. I somehow made it to survive and after years to get back on my feet. And during this short good time I met him… followed by more than 5 years of all kinds of abuse, including his family. As you explain in understandable details, Prof. Sam, it didn’t stop at any point, not with the official end of the relationship, not with anything or any way I tried to escape it, not with any bad event that happened. It didnt stop with my health breaking down to the lowest point ever (lower than chemotherapy and radiation and 9 surgeries did !), probably not even my death will be enough 🤷🏻‍♀️ There is a saying that “understanding is nothing but the wooden spoon”. This is exactly what it feels like when I look at my current situation.

[@chillwinstonuk]

I was about to ask a question and then you answered my question, which was a profound moment. Firstly being introduced to the very clear and obvious truth that idealisation is abuse, this landed. It is so pathological isn't it, and not based in reality at all. A drug for the individual seeking validation to soothe an old wound. Secondly the approach avoid behaviour as a subconscious self protectve strategy. This makes sense and explains why I've heard psychotherapists say "They view you as their mother or father". It also validates the experience of one has of witnessing and feeling like a different person has entered the room. People ask themselves "who is this angry cold person, and why can't I reach them emotionally"?.......It is Sam a brilliant summary and reminder as I've heard to hypothesise before that all personality disorders are really responses to childhood trauma and really PTSD. Thank you

I then clearly stated (by email) I was not interested in talking to him. He flew into an all caps rage of some sort (I barely read it) and I immediately deleted and blocked him. Who knows - he might try to contact me again (we don’t even live in the same country anymore) but if he does, I will not make the mistake of trying to be polite and engaging. He will be ignored.

Always the same pattern. I know because they come to me afterwards. None of them know each other, but he makes sure they know about me, although they all have a different version of our time together. However, although I have had no contact or as little as possible for 2 decades (due to tbeing the only one having children with him) he is now trying to hurt me via my adult children and their children. Presumably I'm being re-idealised periodically, even though he finds others in the meantime.
