NARCISSISTIC ABUSE THERAPY | BOWMANVILLE, ON
Understanding Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Narcissistic Abuse
Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a complex mental health condition that can impact how someone relates to others, often involving patterns of limited empathy, a need for validation, and difficulties with accountability.
When these patterns show up in relationships, they can sometimes lead to what is often referred to as narcissistic abuse - a form of emotional and psychological harm that can leave individuals feeling confused, invalidated, and disconnected from themselves.
Narcissistic abuse is not always obvious. It can include patterns such as manipulation, gaslighting, criticism, control, or cycles of idealization and devaluation. Over time, these experiences can impact your self-esteem, sense of reality, and ability to trust yourself or others.
Therapy provides a safe space to make sense of these experiences, rebuild your sense of self, and begin to heal from the emotional impact.
