In this video, Ross Rosenberg, M.Ed., LCPC, CADC, explains how narcissists control, manipulate, and gaslight codependents, or those with Self-Love Deficit Disorder (codependency), by getting them to accept the stark but sad realities about their narcissist partner's harmful intentions, actions, and future plans.  By being able to predict the narcissist's treatment of you, you give yourself an opportunity to choose how you will react. 

In other words, if you change you expectations about the narcissist while accepting the dysfunctional reality of who they really are and are not, you have effectively neutralized their most impactful/effective weapon used against you: Induced Conversation.  And when you have accurate expectations, you then can choose the very potent defense strategy of my "Observe Don't Absorb" technique.
