Narcissistic Abuse Can Make You Feel Isolated and Confused

-
Disorientation
-
Self-doubt
-
Low self-esteem
-
A lack of healthy boundaries

Isolation
People who have narcissistic tendencies or a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) often inflict abuse on those around them. They engage in manipulation, gaslighting, and verbal abuse. They may even exploit those closest to them in a need for attention or power.
The effects of narcissistic abuse can bring unnecessary shame and guilt. You may wonder if the abuse was your fault or what you could have done to prevent it. If you feel this way, there is nothing wrong with you. We understand talking about your experiences may feel awkward. You may feel embarrassed or ashamed that you let the abuse continue. Our therapists understand these feelings and can help you make sense of them and move forward.
