Narcissist Abuse Support

What the heck just happened?

Horrific lies? Confusion? You are not alone… and you are not crazy!
You might have been in a relationship with a narcissist or other type of emotional abuser. For now, forget trying to learn what label they were narcissist or sociopath because much of the data is the same. Just focus on your survival right now because your world is probably upside down.

Are you confused at the way a relationship ended? The “Grand Finale” is a term that reflects the common factor in the unmasking of a con-artist called a narcissist. Disorientation lurks in the beginning of this “discard”, because you will soon learn that everything was fake. Spouses, boyfriends, girlfriends, co-workers, church members, parents and children can suffer a mental illness that makes them unable to have empathy, and they are pathological liars. They often lead false lives in order to suck like a vampire from what is called a “supply”. They have huge egos and do not like to be challenged or caught in a lie, if you do catch them – be careful they are very dangerous. They will do anything to take you go down.

Unraveling PTSD After Narcissistic Abuse

Given that psychological abusers minimize and dismiss your emotions, it’s quite common in this process to think “This is stupid” or “I’m making this all up” or “I’m actually to blame”. In fact, you might notice a lot of your healing has been done from the mindset of “What’s wrong with me?”. Again, just include these in your kind awareness. It won’t be easy at first, because these anxieties and doubts have been etched deeply in your thinking. But as you embrace these thoughts every day, the awareness will grow stronger.

Narcissisms by Jon Rhodes

Narcissists have a lot of predictable behavioral patterns. Once you learn them, you can recognize them. And you can work out what they’re up to, and why. It’s not that complicated. A little knowledge in this area can go a long way.

I promise you, if you have narcissists in your life, and you learn about them, you’ll be FAR more empowered. And it’ll make a MASSIVE positive impact to your life.

Long Term Narcissistic Abuse can Cause Brain Damage

“…The brain’s production of new neurons and laying down connections to others takes place in the hippocampus.” (Goleman, 2006, p. 273). Goleman also stated, “The hippocampus is especially vulnerable to ongoing emotional distress, because of the damaging effects of cortisol” (p. 273). When the body endures ongoing stress, cortisol affects the rate at which neurons are either added or subtracted from the hippocampus. This can have grave results on learning. When the neurons are attacked by cortisol, the hippocampus loses neurons and is reduced in size. In fact, duration of stress is almost as destructive as extreme stress. Goleman explained, “Cortisol stimulates the amygdala while it impairs the hippocampus, forcing our attention onto the emotions we feel, while restricting our ability to take in new information”
