Decoding Narcissistic Abuse: Understanding Manipulative Tactics

Facts and truth are actually kind of like kryptonite for narcissistic, manipulative people, facts and truth are what they're trying to avoid, and they're trying to get you not to see the facts and truth.
Ever felt like you were living in a fog, questioning your own reality? Licensed counselor Mandy Friedman LPCC-S sheds light on this unsettling experience in her podcast episode about narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic abuse isn't just limited to individuals with a diagnosed personality disorder. It can come from groups, systems, and even institutions. Mandy dives deep into the deceptive tactics used by these abusers, including gaslighting and creating cognitive dissonance.
These manipulative strategies can leave victims doubting their own perceptions and feeling utterly confused. Mandy explains how abusers craft false narratives and fabricate evidence to maintain control and mask their true intentions. They often oscillate between grandiosity and victimhood, making it hard for their targets to see through the façade. But there's hope. Mandy offers practical advice for recognizing these signs and taking steps towards recovery.
She emphasizes the importance of seeking help and building a support network to reclaim your sense of self. If you're looking to understand the mechanics of narcissistic abuse and find your path to healing, this episode is a must-listen.
