Conversations with a narcissist aren't exchanges of ideas; they are minefields. They use three specific tactics to control the narrative and your reactions: triangulation, baiting, and circulating information. #Narcissism #AbuseRecovery

"When does a smear campaign end?"

"When you end it. When you walk away from ALL of them. When you stop caring."

The reason is blatantly obvious but most people don't see it. They're trying to discredit the source. For people that have suffered abuse the injury is compounded when we're the ones being doubted.

It will take time to change because they're scars and scars remain. They're not gone, just forgotten about for periods of time. They will pop up again in down or low moments, or real problems present.

You can leave the abuser… but it takes longer for the abuse to leave you.
The habits, the reflexes, the echo of their voice - it all lingers.
But every time you choose you, even in a small way, something begins to shift.
That is how you take back your power. That is healing.

#AbuseRecovery

👏👏👏 SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK.

But, really... I highly recommend giving this a listen if you are trying to understand someone with either one of these disorders.

Gaslighting messes with your mind, making you question everything. Trust your feelings, they’re more real than their words. #narcissisticabuse #abuserecovery #mentalhealth #healing #trustyourself

Trauma bonding can make unhealthy relationships feel like a rollercoaster you can't get off. Once you see the pattern, you can start making choices that lead to real happiness. #traumabonding #narcissisticabuse #abuserecovery #mentalhealth #healingjourney #empowerment

Ever felt like you're the problem after sharing how you feel? This isn't in your head, it's gaslighting at play. Trust your truth and keep shining bright. #narcissisticabuse #abuserecovery #healingjourney #traumabonding #mentalhealth #empowerment

Ever left a convo feeling confused? You're not alone, it's called gaslighting. Keeping a journal can help you stay grounded in your truth. #narcissisticabuse #abuserecovery #mentalhealth #healing #empowerment #gaslighting

Gaslighting makes you question your own memory, but it's a control tactic. Keep a journal; it's your truth anchor. #narcissisticabuse #abuserecovery #mentalhealth #gaslighting #healingjourney

Feeling like the family scapegoat isn't about being wrong; it's a role unfairly put on you. Break free by embracing your true self and finding supportive allies. #narcissisticabuse #abuserecovery #familyscapegoat #healingjourney #mentalhealth

Gaslighting makes you question reality. Remembering your truth is powerful. Keep your journal close. #narcissisticabuse #abuserecovery #mentalhealth #healing #gaslighting #empowerment

Feeling confused by their constant twisting of your reality? Remember, your feelings are real and valid, and staying grounded is your power. #narcissisticabuse #abuserecovery #gaslighting #emotionalabuse #mentalhealth #healingjourney
