As narcissistic abuse survivors, we are particularly prone to being triggered during this difficult time in the world. I discuss my experience and ways of coping whether it be with covid 19 hitting close to home, grieving things or people we miss, being retriggered with memories of abuse, eye-opening experiences realizing friends or others we were close to are narcissistic or otherwise toxic, setting boundaries and the experience of dating during this pandemic. Part 2 (stay tuned for Part 3 coming soon)
