Narcissism Archives

Dealing with narcissistic abuse can be draining and downright devastating. You may feel like you can’t do anything right, often experiencing emotional abuse that leaves you questioning your worth. You might be riddled with doubt and questioning your recollection of conflicts and conversations. You may feel alone, depressed, and anxious. As your self-confidence erodes and you feel increasingly isolated, your family and friends may recognize the problem long before you do.

Narcissistic abuse may not be evident or easily recognizable to you at first, especially in the context of a close relationship. Though physical or sexual abuse may be easy to spot, narcissistic abuse is often largely emotional and much harder to recognize. It’s also hard to accept and admit to yourself that you are in this situation. This prolonged emotional and psychological distress can lead to complex trauma, requiring specialized support for recovery.

If you have identified this type of abuse in a close relationship, you may be angry, hurt, and unsure where to turn. PIVOT can help. Our coaching for narcissistic abuse is second to none and has been instrumental in facilitating change for thousands of our clients.

Our Process	The PIVOT Process is a transformative journey that helps you to understand and love yourself.

You will look at yourself through a wide lens as you examine the physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and financial aspects of your life. This process is not just about healing; it’s about discovering your potential for change and growth. With newfound understanding, the second part of the process empowers you to create behavioral change through actionable systems and tools. Connecting your thoughts and feelings with action, you will learn to reframe negative behavior patterns, set healthy boundaries, and form secure attachments. The result will be greater resilience and relational freedom in your future relationships.

How to Break the Cycle of Narcissistic Abuse for Good
Action You Must Take	How PIVOT Supports You
Validate your feelings	One of the most challenging consequences of narcissistic abuse is the self-doubt that permeates your thinking and decision-making capacity. Likely the result of gaslighting and other manipulative tactics, it undercuts your self-confidence and limits your resolve for change. Your PIVOT coach will help you to trust yourself and believe that change is possible.
Gain compassion for yourself	The emotional abuse of a narcissistic partner can make you feel really bad about yourself. You may have been putting your needs aside to keep the peace and please your partner. The PIVOT Process helps you develop compassion for yourself and prioritize your needs.
Recognize manipulation tactics	Many narcissistic manipulations are difficult to recognize. You may not realize you have fallen prey to them until it is too late. Learning to recognize these manipulative tactics can help you avoid the emotional pain they inflict.
Learn to set and hold boundaries	A lack of boundaries can make you a target of narcissistic abuse. Your PIVOT coach will help you learn to set and hold protective boundaries to guard against future abuse.
Articulate your feelings and desires	Breaking the abuse cycle once and for all means putting yourself first. The PIVOT Process helps you to get in touch with why you have fallen prey in the past and gives you tools to ensure you are not marginalized in the future. You will learn to express yourself and take charge of your life.

Part of breaking free of narcissistic abuse is understanding the patterns it often takes. Part of the PIVOT process is education on the cycle of narcissistic abuse, so you can identify it early on and avoid falling into the same toxic patterns over and over again.

Understanding the Cycle of Narcissistic Abuse

The cycle of narcissistic abuse is characterized by emotional abuse and manipulation tactics, often referred to as the narcissistic abuse cycle, particularly in relationships involving individuals with narcissistic personality disorder. Narcissistic behaviors, such as gaslighting and devaluation, contribute significantly to this cycle, making it difficult for victims to recognize and escape the manipulation. This abuse doesn’t just happen in romantic relationships—you can experience it with friends, siblings, and even parents. Narcissistic behavior often involves manipulative tactics that follow a predictable cycle, making it vital to recognize these patterns. By identifying such behaviors, you can take the necessary steps to break free from toxic dynamics and prioritize your mental health.

Narcissists are often drawn to specific vulnerabilities in a partner. Those who have experienced childhood trauma or abuse or had a narcissistic parent may be particularly susceptible. Partners who are lonely, lack confidence, or have low self-esteem may also fall prey to narcissistic abuse. Likewise, people who are ill and need help or suffering from emotional or financial hardships are also especially vulnerable to narcissistic manipulation. That isn’t to say that it is your fault – anyone can fall into a narcissistic dynamic. That’s why it is so important to know the signs.

Understanding the cycle of narcissistic abuse can be a profound moment of enlightenment. It’s like finally seeing the light at the end of a long, dark tunnel. This understanding empowers you to take control of your life and break free from the toxic cycle. Narcissistic manipulation can distort your sense of reality, making it crucial to trust your perceptions and seek support.

Leaving a narcissistic relationship can be incredibly challenging for you, and it requires careful planning. Recognizing narcissistic traits in your partner is the first step towards protecting yourself and seeking the help you need.
