If you're new here I have NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) and I've been in therapy for the last 8 years learning how to deal with it and live a better life. From the start I've offered you the rare POV of a diagnosed narcissist but NOW I'm switching it up a little bit. I'm interviewing others that are dealing with their own mental health journeys and those that have dealt with toxic relationship dynamics as well. I'm still sharing my POV just sharing others as well.

Your brain wants to believe that they have finally realized your worth, but the behavioral reality is much darker.In this video, I break down the exact psychology of what happens when an abuser starts to miss you. We discuss the concept of a validation deficit, why they selectively romanticize the past, and how their sudden urge to reconnect is driven by a desire to regain control rather than genuine love. Stop breaking your own peace for a temporary ego play.NYC EVENT - www.mentalhealness.net/events All my links - https://link.me/mentalhealness","meta_description":"When a toxic, abusive, or controlling ex tells you that they \"miss\" you, it can completely destabilize your healing process.
