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, from the perspective of a diagnosed narcissist, I break down the moment their manipulation and gaslighting stop working, how they react when you stop responding the way you used to, and what that means for you as a survivor or thriver. We’ll talk about the first red flags that their control is slipping, the internal “ego death” and narcissistic injury they experience, why they briefly question themselves and then flip it back on you with blame, accusations, and new tactics, and how you can stay safe and grounded as you stand up for yourself, stop reacting, and break out of the cycle of abuse. If you’re dealing with a narcissistic, toxic, or emotionally abusive partner, this video will help you understand their mindset when they lose control and why your new boundaries matter.
