Narcissistic Abuse Recovery
What is narcissistic abuse?
It is a repeated pattern of abusive behavior that is demeaning, antagonizing, and high conflict. People high in narcissistic traits have a high need for admiration, control, and asking for submission. It is a cycle that consists of lovebombing followed by devaluation and discard. Antagonistic and narcissistic personalities aim to build fast high emotional intensity, are “fast and furios”, and have a general disregard for boundaries and societal rules, among other things.
