In this episode, I explore the concept of reactive abuse - how narcissists can provoke their partners to react in ways that make the partner appear to be the abuser, when in fact they are the victim of the narcissist's manipulation.
I also discuss the feeling of not recognising oneself due to the changes in behaviour brought about by being in a relationship with a narcissist. I explain the dynamics of reactive abuse and provide guidance on how to navigate this challenging situation safely.
In this episode, we will explore:
- Understanding Reactive Abuse: What it is and how narcissists use it to manipulate their partners
- Navigating Safety and Exit Strategies: Prioritising safety when leaving a relationship with a narcissist
- Managing Emotional Reactions: Techniques for regulating the nervous system to avoid being provoked
