Some signs of abusive impact... ...shame ...grief/sadness ...self-doubt ...confusion ...feeling tension/high alert ...isolation ...reactive defensiveness ...self-sabotage ...low self-esteem ...low self-confidence ...distrustful/suspicious ...critical/judgemental (with yourself) ...overthinking/being too much in your head ...suppressing feelings/being not enough in your body ...difficulty setting boundaries inwardly (your inner values, standards, higher priorities etc.) and outwardly (clear, consistent communication to the world) For the healing process it's essential to bring "head" and "body" into balance, so that they can connect with each other. Listen to your body, learn what your body needs in the first place - this is the beginning of self attachment, self care and self acceptance.

I drop my mind into my heart area & breathe through my lungs very deliberately. Sometimes a catch of your breath on the intake can help your body relax faster. Then I link up to my spirit & go higher. My own mantra that I learned from heart centering prayer is: creative eternal love energy (cele prefix) flows to & thru my heart from home ✨

Mine passed away from agent orange presumptive lung cancer in 2018. I started standing up for myself and life got really scary. I figured he was going to end my life sooner rather than later. I did a lot of praying over the years we were married. 30 of them. His death was an event in my life I felt guilty about because I didn’t really grieve. I was more relieved. I know that sounds horrible and selfish. I went through living hell on earth during our 30 years. I am doing ok by myself. I enjoy my life, and do as I please with it. I haven’t had a relationship since he passed, and I don’t want anything to do with one. I’ve lived my life making others happy, now it’s my turn.

A caution about taking things slowly. A covert narcissist can match your slow pace, too. If something doesn't feel right, it's okay to take a step back before you have it figured out. I can still get blindsided, but these days I trust myself more, I know I don't owe anybody an explanation, and I can tolerate push back.

I'm taking your advice, Dr. C, to take things slowly when getting to know new people. The biggest challenge after narcissistic abuse is not knowing whom to trust. Especially if, before abuse, you were an honest and authentic person with everyone. I'm finding myself overreacting to the smallest slights or putting on a poker face when I should be laughing along, which doesn't look good in either scenario.

Thanks for acknowledging the onging struggle survivors of narcissistic abuse often experience while we are maintaining our other more posititive relationships with those who are in contact with both us and the abusive person whom we used to be married to. I used to have trouble understanding some of the struggles my mother was going through at times while having to cope with negative influence from commumal narcissists. Now that I am older it is becoming easier for me to understand how it is more difficult it is to let that kind of toxicity fall off our backs like water off a duck's back. Which is why friendships become far more important as we get older instead of our relationships with relatives.

I finally realized I was surrounded by narcs.always telling me “you like to argue”. No, I really don’t. I didn’t know any time I disagree with a narc I’m arguing. Any time I express my opinion and it differs from theirs I was wrong/arguing. 😂 Now I know better. I thought it was odd because during my career I was a positive, motivated, energetic leader. Compromising was practiced daily. Yes, we can change and learn to recognize all the bad patterns. I set boundaries. I walk away. I refrain from comment. I still catch myself starting to justify my choices. Thank you for this video reminder. ❤

For me, it's a visible impact on many people lives and health, firstly on the family members and firstly on the scapegoat. And here it is a (sort of) "upside" (? 🥴 so to speak) of being the scapegoat > sooner or later, we have the possibility of finding out _where is_ and _what is_ and _who is_ the problem: the person with personality disorder. The other members (enablers, golden children, invisible children, etc) usually *can't see* . They live their life that way. full stop. Meaning, they can't see the narcissist at all, they can't see what the narcissist is really doing to all the family system and members, to their lives and to their health too. This is another painful aspect because we (as scapegoats) can't even intervene to help the non-narcissists... because the long life lasting work of the narcissist kicked us out from any chance of being listened by the other family members. [ for example, about their health issues and the necessity to get the right medical help, to check some other doctor, to look for better solutions, etc. Unfortunately they are totally under the narcissist , as we were ourselves in our childhood and adoloscence and also adult life until we discover all the narcissistic stuff / actions ]

Ok , they had always been _objects_ for the narc, but they couldn't realized it at all. At the end of the day, they actually have a deeper deception than we had

For me, what damaged me the most was her consistent disagreeing with me, or telling me I was wrong, or invalidating my feelings. This was one of the first things I noticed…it’s like she brought up a topic just to take the opposing viewpoint. What really started to get to me was when she’d ask my opinion about 1 of 2 things…and EVERYTIME she ended up going with the other option.

WOW, this is one of the best videos explaining a narcissist. This is just a part of my long nightmare. My husband and I were mentally and verbally abused by our evil narcissistic demon of an adult daughter, For years. It got so bad that the stress cause an emotional breakdown for my husband, One day he started crying uncontrollably with him gasping for air ( this is a guy that never cried because of his upbringing of men don't cry ) He was asking what he did wrong on raising her to be so evil then he collapsed and took his last breath 5 years ago. She always had anger issues since she was a teen, but we chopped it up as just being a teen and hormons since she seemed to be a very well-rounded person overall. We noticed the changes in her as she got older and thought she was bipolar. But it was too late for us to get her help because she was over 18. She wouldn't amit that she has mental problems and get help. By the time I learned about narcissism, it was too late. The trauma damage was already done. In those horrible years of walking on eggshells, she had us under her control because she was kicked out of her ex-husband's home for stepping out on him and the trauma she caused. She ended back with us because she was homeless and 3 months pregnant with another's man child. So, of course, we took her in. She was lying from the start, telling us her marriage failed because he was abusing her physically. I know different now. We tried to help her, going through her pregnancy and the birth, then she couldn't handle being a mother. She wouldn't do what a mother should do and we ended up raising our grandson until he was 6 years old. She hunted down for a new supply because my husband became disabled and we couldn't give her a free ride anymore. We asked her to start paying her own way because if she didn't we would end up homeless. That pissed her off, and she really got bad. She finally found a nieve 24 year old guy, 6 years younger than her, Within 3 months, she manipulated and lied to him and they moved in together. Then she trapped him by getting pregnant. My husband I ended up homeless with her stalking us and still messing with our heads using our grandson against us. Then my husband died. She destroyed me beyond repair. I have been abandoned by everyone,... She made sure of that with her lies.. I went no contact but it is slowly killing me from the inside out. I can't have a relationship with my grandson. I can't function anymore. I'm the one who is at fault somehow. And you know what.. I'm starting to believe I must be. I'm just a failure and a lost cause.. I can not heal . It hurts so much. I'm so tired of trying. I just want to die.

With the two covert narcissistic friends I had the unfortunate luck to have in my life for way too long, boundaries meant nothing to them. If they were inflated with alcohol, even worse. NO CONTACT is the only strategy that worked. Their abuse and unwarranted nastiness has never left my memory. Thanks Dr C. Your amazing!

Fill you with themselves? Their anger, hate, arrogance, insecurities, pride, entitlement, self-righteousness, abuse and meanness? Noticed that about some people, it's not really advice their giving you, it's their ego talking more than anything, it's just being in charge for the sake of it. I get the feeling that they've never had that in their lives, and chase that feeling of power and control just so they can feel better about themselves.

These videos on the lasting impact is really important to me. I spent years taking care of my father who I believe was a narcissist. I went through also a relationship that was maybe covert. My dad died and the relationship ended the same month. I became rebellious and unwise (maybe trying to reclaim my own independence after this) I can see my own emotional changes as well like you talk about here.

Dr C .. id like to kindly ask... has society always been so rude to those of us who are generally considered seniors? Those of us who use awareness and common sense n why have we seemed to stop saying to others to have a nice day? Just wondering if this is really the new norm? Thank you for all you do. Many blessings of a nurturing nature.

That’s the one I’m scared of. I feel I’ve been surrounded my entire life between work and and family. You tend to pick up on some habits. That’s why I’m here. Hoping to know myself and learn more. I removed most from my life. I wonder about that as it is lonely. But I think I was miserable with them and if I’m the narc then they won’t miss me.

10:46 I am feeling hopeless. I feel like again I have lost everything children grandchildren. Patterns from a narcissistic husband passed on yo the kids. Now they are punishing me and believe I am the narcissist. I worked at not interfering or commenting in their life. Not getting angry. One son gas lights with things he could only have heard from his father. My other son calls me a liar and his wife severely emotionally abuses their child. Trying to do the right things but what good. My life was stollen from me. Kind of late in life to start over. No family left.

As a Computer Scientist -- I was finally amused at my ex-narcs antics. I finally realized *NONE* of her silly arguments had any purpose other than to confuse and provoke me. She was uneducated -- she argued like a 5 year old. Her provocations actually became comical. It was a total IQ mismatch. The disrespect could have gotten her killed though. That is when I got out.

Dr. C. what do I do? My N-Mother keeps telling her surroundings how I never want to see her, don't help her, etc. The opposite is the case. I am longing for doing something with her, although she has always been mean. People believe her and see her as the victim. One of a classic tactic is when I tell her 'tell me when there is an event you are going to, let's go together' ...her answer is 'YOU said you NEVER have time' - which is total gaslighting and leaves me speechless. How do I respond? So obviously she can then go and tell everyone 'see? My daughter never joins me, never comes along. She doesn't want anything to do with me'. Very tricky situation. Her neighborhood looks at me like 'here is the daughter who doesn't want to have anything to do with poor mom'.

There's nothing I can do. I don't have a narcissist to argue with the malignant covert in my life doesn't even speak with me or acknowledge me. It's my grandson's father. Who has custody after I had custody for the first 7 years but then he showed up and Florida has no grandparents rights Long Court battle he refuses to let me see him call him anything. The holidays are here again and I'm miserable today and I'm sorry to be here venting. I just don't see any Escape I feel alone but I don't want anybody around me it's been going on for years since I lost my boy caldo de ser mi madre
