If you feel guilty about your actions, if your own conscience starts berating you, if that critical voice starts shaming you, then for the narcissist the job becomes easier.
Ever wondered why you sometimes feel like you're turning into the very thing you despise? In this episode of 'Heal from within after Narcissistic Abuse,' Danish Bashir dives into the complex world of reactive abuse. When you're continually subjected to narcissistic manipulation, it's only natural to become reactive. Danish explains how this reaction is a survival mechanism for empaths, who might end up fighting, fleeing, freezing, or fawning in response to relentless abuse.
These reactions can make empaths feel like they're losing their true, compassionate selves and turning into someone unrecognizable. Danish stresses the need to leave the toxic environment to stabilize your nervous system and regain your sense of self. He also touches on the importance of self-forgiveness, reminding listeners that these reactions are not a choice but a survival instinct.
If you're struggling with these feelings and looking for ways to reclaim your empathy and integrity, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.
