How to protect yourself in a relationship with a narcissistic person?
In this episode, I explain how to adapt boundaries and strategies to both types of narcissism (grandiose and vulnerable). Men are more likely to exhibit grandiose narcissism – overt dominance, overt humiliation, control, and aggression. Women, on the other hand, are more likely to exhibit vulnerable narcissism – passive forms of violence, relational control, guilt-tripping, and passive aggression.
You will learn:
how to recognize emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and passive aggression
how to strengthen Healthy Adult Mode and effectively set boundaries
what specific responses to verbal and emotional narcissistic attacks are, and when and how to distance yourself or end contact for your own safety.
