Narcissistic abuse is a form of emotional and psychological manipulation used to control, confuse, or dominate another person. It often includes gaslighting, blame-shifting, love-bombing, devaluation, and silent treatment.
Over time, it can cause self-doubt, anxiety, low self-esteem, trauma bonding, and loss of identity. Recovery involves breaking the trauma bond, rebuilding confidence, setting boundaries, and restoring self-trust. Healing is possible with the right support.
