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.

In this video, we break down what happens inside a narcissistic or toxic person when you stop reacting, stop explaining, and go silent through no contact or low contact. We’ll talk about why your silence feels like a loss of control to them, how it can trigger rage, smear campaigns, hoovering and love bombing, and why staying quiet can be a powerful step in breaking trauma bonds and reclaiming your peace.You’ll learn the difference between abusive silent treatment they use to punish you vs. protective silence you use to heal, what to expect when you go no contact with a narcissist or toxic ex, and how to handle the anxiety, cravings, and guilt that come up when you stop responding. If you’re recovering from emotional abuse, coercive control, or narcissistic abuse, this video will help you understand why your silence is not weakness it’s often the beginning of your freedom.
