Understanding Narcissism and Narcissistic Abuse: Navigating with Narc & Co

Narcissism and narcissistic abuse are complex topics that profoundly impact individuals' lives, often leaving them feeling confused, isolated, and emotionally wounded. At Narc & Co, we're dedicated to shedding light on these issues and providing comprehensive support for survivors. In this article, we'll delve into the dynamics of narcissism and narcissistic abuse, as well as introduce how our services at Narc & Co can offer guidance and healing.

Understanding Narcissism:

Narcissism is a personality trait characterised by grandiosity, a sense of entitlement, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy. While not all narcissistic traits are inherently harmful, individuals with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) often exhibit pervasive patterns of dysfunctional behavior that can negatively impact their relationships and interactions with others. It's crucial to recognise that narcissism exists on a spectrum, ranging from healthy self-confidence to pathological narcissism.

Dynamics of Narcissistic Abuse:

Narcissistic abuse is a form of psychological and emotional manipulation perpetrated by individuals with narcissistic traits. It can take various forms, including gaslighting, manipulation, exploitation, and emotional coercion. Survivors of narcissistic abuse often endure invalidation, degradation, and psychological warfare, leading to profound trauma and emotional distress. The cycle of abuse typically involves idealisation, devaluation, and discard phases, leaving survivors feeling trapped in a cycle of toxicity and confusion.
