Are you in a relationship with someone who makes you feel crazy and "not good enough" all the time? Do you find yourself constantly shocked at the outrageously disrespectful behavior and excessive bullying of a friend, family member or co-worker? This might be gaslighting or ambient abuse, and you may be dealing with a narcissist.

Narcissists and people with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) make you feel worthless and numb, and they leave you wondering if you're even a real person sometimes. It leads to CPTSD and many other issues.

Being involved with a narcissist can be a crazy roller-coaster ride of emotions - from the highest of the highs to the lowest of the lows.

That's because their gaslighting and manipulation tactics are so well-honed and laser-targeted that you often don’t even realize that you’ve become codependent and enmeshed in a toxic relationship until it’s too late.

You're NOT ALONE. I know because I've been there.

If you've ever been involved with a narcissist, whether it was your husband or your mother or your co-worker, there's one thing that they all have in common: the gaslighting attacks. Gaslighting, of course, is the pervasive manipulation technique that toxic narcissists use to control and manipulate the people around them and make them do as they want and need - to behave like a good little narcissistic supply.

Here's a free tool from QueenBeeing.com to help you get through the gaslighting moments: http://queenbeeing.com/perk/

I've made a terrible mistake - and here's how it can help your narcissistic relationship recovery. If you are someone who is recovering from a toxic relationship, then you know how easy it can be to fall off the wagon. I did that over the weekend, and today I'm sharing my confession of what I did wrong and what I'm doing to change it in the future.

Plus ,I'll share a message of hope for you - and for me. Recovering from a narcissistic relationship is hard work - and overcoming toxic families is even harder. Today, we're going to get through this together.

Our self-talk creates reality. And we know all about self-talk psychology, don't we? But it's easy to understand in theory. In real life, it's a lot harder to implement - and to stick with. Even when we think we've got it all handled. Trust me - I know what I'm talking about here.

Invalidation is part of codependency and CPTSD. We have to validate OURSELVES.

Why Being Raised By a Narcissist Might Cause You to Marry One

Can being raised by a narcissist cause you to marry a narcissist? Why you chose to get into a toxic relationship - and why you couldn't see it in the first place? Why did you marry the wrong person? In this video, I'll explain why narcissistic parents and the damaging effects of being raised by them can lead you to find yourself married to a narcissist, or at least continuing in toxic relationships long after you leave your family of origin.

Why therapy for narcissistic abuse isn't effective and doesn't always work. And why you should never go to couples therapy with a narcissist. Therapists are often under-educated when it comes to narcissistic abuse recovery and toxic relationships with people with narcissistic personality disorder. It's not that therapists are useless, it's just that they don't always know the depths of emotional abuse and how to recognize someone with narcissistic personality disorder. In most cases, when you consult psychologists on love, they are fairly accurate. But when it comes to finding a good narcissistic abuse therapist, it's often easier said than done. And going to couples therapy with a narcissist will almost definitely set you up for victim-blaming. In this video, Dana Morningstar and Angela Atkinson discuss the possibilities and explain how to find the right therapist for you - whether you're dealing with CPTSD, narcissistic abuse syndrome or any other complication of toxic relationships. With Dana Morningstar from Thrive After Abuse.

If you have ever struggled to figure out how to explain a narcissist to someone who doesn't get it, this video is for you. As explained by Dana Morningstar from Thrive After Abuse, being with a narcissist is like being in a cult - and I'll go into detail on how to explain as well as WHY she's so right!

Just like with a narcissist, when you first learn about a cult, chances are that you aren't really aware of what you're getting yourself into. The members and the leader show you their "best" and they draw you in with a process very similar to love bombing.

While they seem to be very generous and loving, often using your own childhood wounds as sort of a "way into your heart," they are pretty much always based on the cult leader's desire for personal gain, in one way or another.

These so-called leaders usually use various forms of brainwashing, along with other methods, to slowly and pervasively draw you into their circle of control and before you know it, you're stuck and feel like you can't escape.

Narcissists guilt trip you like crazy - and who among us hasn't been on one of those? Only sociopaths are able to NEVER feel guilt - and for those of us who do feel it, guilt is distressing and draining.

Narcissists manipulate us in so many different ways and most of them involve a certain amount of invalidation. One of those is when they hurl insults your way and then pretend to have been joking - then accusing you of being "too sensitive" - when in reality, they are hurting your feelings and your self-esteem. In this video, I'll fill you in on why they do that and what you can do to deal.
