    The Royal We has helped Millions to escape the grip of narcissistic abuse. Here’s a deeper look into what narcissistic abuse looks like and steps to heal from it:
    Narcissistic abuse looks like:
    Lack of Empathy: Narcissists often show little to no empathy for others, making it easy for them to manipulate and exploit. Narcissists use various tactics such as gaslighting, love bombing, and devaluation to control and dominate their victims.
    Common Tactics Used in Narcissistic Abuse:
    Gaslighting: Making the victim doubt their own reality and sanity.
    Love Bombing: Showering the victim with excessive attention and affection to gain control.
    Devaluation: Undermining the victim’s self-worth through criticism, belittling, and emotional neglect.
    Isolation: Cutting the victim off from their support systems to increase dependency on the abuser.
    Triangulation: Using others to create jealousy or competition, keeping the victim feeling insecure.
    Healing from Narcissistic Abuse
    How to begin healing from narcissistic abuse:
    Understand that you have been enduring narcissistic abuse. This awareness is the first step toward healing.
    Get Help:
    Work with The Royal We to get the tools to understand and process your experiences. Visit - www.jointheroyalwe.com
    Establish No Contact or Low Contact:
    Limit or completely cut off communication with the narcissistic abuser. This helps you gain emotional distance and begin your healing journey.
    Rebuild Your Self-Esteem:
    Engage in activities that boost your confidence and self-worth. Surround yourself with supportive, positive people who value and respect you.
    Educate Yourself:
    Learn about narcissistic abuse and its effects. Knowledge is empowering and can help you recognize patterns and avoid future toxic relationships.
    Practice Self-Care:
    Prioritize your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, adequate sleep, and mindfulness practices can all contribute to your recovery.
    Set Boundaries:
    Develop and maintain healthy boundaries in all your relationships.

      @@IAm-zu4ql you do this by believing in yourself, and knowing that whatever you feel it is valid. I let someone in my life brainwash me into believing that my feelings are not valid. That I'm oversensitive dramatic and even emotionally unstable. after years of reading books on the subject, watching videos such as this, and six months or so of counseling--I've got come a long way in terms of being able to validate my own feelings and perspective. In fact I'm still living with this person at the moment, and this knowledge, while it hasn't stopped me from feeling really frustrated or angry from time to time, has helped me see the situation for what it is I'm no longer falling into these traps.
      I had to switch my strategy. For instance I no longer expect to be able to resolve issues problems or my feelings with this person part. If this person crosses my boundaries does is inconsiderate rude or disrespectful, I no longer try to get them to see the error of their ways or ask to be treated differently. What I do do, it's basically treat them like a child. I tell them what I didn't like in that I do not want want them to do it again, and I usually State some sort of a consequence. I leave it right at that. no more trying to explain no more trying to get them to understand my feelings or any of that f****** endless, pointless, masochism.
      you have a right to your feelings and no one has the right to tell you otherwise. Don't expect a narcissist to validate how you feel ever it's a recipe for serious psychological harm.

    You're not the cause of the problem, they just want you to think that you are. Detach yourself emotionally from narcissists and toxic people, observe don't absorb. If you allow yourself to be brought into their wrestling ring, there is a chance of getting hurt. So observe what they're showing you or what they're saying to you. Just don't absorb it, don't let it become a part of you when it's a part of them.

    • @l.5832
      @l.5832 Před 4 lety +2

      Remember if you are in a long term marriage (mine over 20 years) that things don't end when you leave them. The legal stuff can drag on for YEARS if the narc spouse wants to confound and confuse legal proceedings. This is not something you can shrug off and walk away. Mine promised he'd bankrupt me and did his best to do so. I had one lawyer quit because it took 3 months to get one document out of him (should have taken 2 minutes) and she never COULD get it from him. Trying not to absorb is very difficult when you need to be extremely vigilant and you will need to do much of the legal work yourself unless you are a millionaire. The alternative is to declare bankruptcy as soon as you leave the relationship.

    I just divorced my narc from a 8yr relationship and have a 5yr old. I’ve tried explaining to people that I’ve been conditioned and they don’t grasp nor believe me. They think I’m too strong for it but it happened so gradually I didn’t realize it. He withheld love and affection when needed and looking back I’ve only had conditional love which was the reward. No contact is hard and you have to rewire. So here’s to no contact ❤️

      Do not engage with people who don't have a clue about your experience. If you're still in a fragile state , someone's well-meaning advice may lead you back to your abuser. Only discuss your struggles in recovery but someone you trust completely and whose judgment appears to be sound. Someone who is mentally and emotionally stable to the point that you can see it. Look for someone who has self respect and something you want for yourself. Much love.

So glad I learned the truth soon after. There can be no true relationship with a narcissist. They don’t want one.

      ShiaGirl18: I was in high school when I started sleeping all the time. I would go to sleep when I got home from school. I remember my friend telling me that she called and was told by a family member that I was asleep (in the middle of the afternoon). I told her that I felt like a fish out of water; and that was because my family moved to another state when I was just 14 years old. I left all of my friends behind (the only love I ever received) and was being bullied by these mean girls at my new school. So no wonder I was sleeping all the time--I was trying to shut out all of that pain from being the scapegoat at home and at school. How in the world did I ever survive this hellish nightmare?!?

    I survived an overt narc and 18 mos latter I had to survive a covert one. The universe keeps throwing challenges (different demons).
    In this world of duality we're at war with the opposing forces of darkness and those caught or blinded by them. I don't feel like a victim for attracting these predators, I choose to see myself as the light or opposite magnetic force which attracted them. These experiences have made me stronger, taught me about these types, to detect early red flags, to set up boundaries and going no contact. I am aware now, a surviving warrior.

      I have come to the same conclusion, that anyone... anywhere near normal... cannot peacefully coexist with the narcissist. It just can never work. If you have a backbone it threatens their defenses and they discard pretty fast. If you don't have a backbone then they get tired of it anyway, they see your spirit dying and that is not useful to them, and they discard anyway... Stir clear and see the flags next time so you don;t waste any time , energy, resources or emotions in a dead end game. Getting free is much harder than avoiding them at the start! People who don;t know the cluster B personalities are out there and are a dangerous roller coaster ride through crazy , pain and disappointment... all of that and it's never even real... or close to real, for them.... you may as well love a movie star (from afar, no stalking) and you'd be saner, safer and not lose as much.... ! You are an extra in their movie... everyone is an extra in their movie... so they swap out the extras right and left and with little to no regard.... you matter even less than you think once your mind fog clears! It is amazing, and I believe there is some self hypnosis going on... he wasn't what I wanted him to be, but I tried to feel he was and every excuse or runaway train of thought worked to get me there....
      Nope... see them as they are. If you wouldn't want your daughter, sister or best friend to be in the kind of relationship you have w/ the narc, then why are you accepting less for yourself? If you set the bar higher, the narc will fail very very soon.... weeks not months or years... and you will avoid wasting time. Set the bar for truth, respectful , compassion, care, connection, being kind / helpful, being responsible, working together. No way a narc will stay around you for very long.... they can;t deal... and those expectations are like Narc-Raid! PSSSSSST ... bye bye narc...... Also, if anyone is out and getting back to their own true mind and happy again... and fears a Hoover... my Hoover plan is this... to ignore the first 3 attempts, and if here is a fourth... I will either send the legal code for "harassment" (just the code, nothing else) or... the telephone # of a sheriff deputy friend with the note...
      "Call Deputy XYZ at tel # XYZ to find out how and why your contact is unwanted." I know that will freak him out and he will stop... dead in his tracks! (He does not want a TRO against him!) Which BTW is my next step if there is any contact after contact #4....... Whether they are rabid and ill and can;t help it, or sly foxes doing what works for them, matters not... the outcome for everyone else is wasted energy, lies, confusion, pain and crazy time.

The attraction between this perfect storm of target & someone vulnerable is nothing less than preditorial. So habitually done, the narc doesn't even comprehend it. You sure aren't going to get them to introspect their actions or how they made you feel. Their only analysis will be a manipulation error to data bank for future. The real mindfuck is you do everything that is caring, genuine & real....and it's exploited. All to pacify a tormented mind. Your a disposable mental trash recepticle. Tough to try again when your confused & know you did everything right. Zero contact is like utopia. Find your bearings, know you did nothing out of bounds & call it what it was.

His pain loss envy depression anger etc is his business... So yes they hate humanity because they feel outside it looking in.. and all they can do is mimic feelings,,, that never reach their core.. they never know love or caring or putting the welfare of anyone else before theirs... ever. and they resent the bonding and emotional ties we have.
      They are ill and defective and broken and pity is our natural response... but they are dangerous and will never want rescue or healing. Move away from the Narc! LOL (all of them, not just your recent... but all of them!)

You must do this until you believe it (because you are). Look at a photo of yourself (it doesn't matter if you're a child or an adult in the photo) and speak to yourself kindly and lovingly. Tell yourself how sorry you are that you abandoned yourself and that from now on, you promise to be 100% loyal to yourself. Promise that you'll be the most loving parent and best friend to yourself. You should start seeing your "soul" in your photo, and it will be like coming home to yourself. Good luck with everything.

    Kevin, I thank you for talking about this. I was not going to talk about this in a public forum but, I am an RN and want to share so others can learn what happens.
    The narc I was dating did put me in adrenal fatigue which caused me to go in to an Estrogen heavy imbalance. Adrenal fatigue creates high amounts of cortisol which creates the fight or flight syndrome. That adrenaline rush. When the body creates high amounts of cortisol it pulls from other hormones, primary progesterone which balances the Estrogen in the body. We know estrogen and progesterone as the menstrual cycle hormones/sex hormones.
    I developed a breast tumor 2 years into the relationship. The Breasts have estrogen receptors. The Cancer was created by the excessive amounts of estrogen in my body. The estrogen was the fuel for tumor growth. Thank goodness I caught it early with monthly breast exams and no, there was no help from the Narc through the surgeries. He literally cared less and did not support my family through the crisis and didn’t bother to show up for one of the surgeries. I was finally strong enough emotionally to leave the narc by year 4.5. He started cheating on me before the surgeries, the recovery from the deception at that point was extremely painful. I am lucky I am alive.
    What I want to tell women is don’t take their sexual organs for granted. You know the old Adage “men will use you up”. If you don’t, then learn it now.
    This can happen with the Narcs, psychopaths, sociopaths and other abusive relationships. Women of all ages please head this warning, when these kinds of stressful relationships occur with women you think that its only your emotions, NO, it is also the body. The female body is a delicate balance of hormones as you know...periods can be awful. Get out as soon as you can. Literally save yourself from a shortened life or not being able to conceive at all.
    Get a full check up and yes STD check too. If this guy doesn’t care then he probable didn’t practice safe sex either.
    I am now living a cancer free life but, I also live with the guilt that I let this terrible person in my life that caused so much stress on my body that has changed it forever. Please ladies do not take your body for granted.
    Take the time to know who you are dating. Just like Kevin says, do you want someone like this to have children with and abuse you into fatigue that can effect you with disease. This is serious stuff.
    Do your inner work and get educated. Most men these days are serial dating and are not going to buy the cow if the milk is free.
    Thank you Kevin for all the good work your doing. You have made a huge difference in my life.

    This is so true. It's been 5 months and I'm still in the trama bond. I'm currently forgiving myself for falling in Love with my Ex Narc. I'm on a Self Love Journey and by being a CoDependent I'm going through allowing myself to not do for anyone but myself rigjt now. I ger severe anziety being around anything or anyone that is needy. It feels Narcissistic by doing this and gives me severe anxiety doing for myself being told all my life from relationships that it's selfish to do for myself. My Mother who was BiPolar/Narcissistic/Sckitcofrantic all her life passed away 6 months ago and I went into this lost child state of emotion. This started my Journey to self love. My Ex abandoned me a month later because he couldn't deal with my grieving so it was a Double Whammy from both Narcissistic relationships. It's my responsibility to look deap inside and heal that little girl looking for Love. I see everything so clear. My Faith in GOD has also helped me stay strong and disciplined to walk with Love and Forgivness. Even though they were both very toxic I still Loved them both dearly. I feel free by sharing my story. Thank You

    The idealization phase is really good. You see a person that really wants you. Her mirroring of you makes the hoovering look like genuine attraction. It masquerades her sick twisted objectification and makes it look like authentic affection. The devaluation phase sucks but doesn't suck completely. This is where they play mind games. Get you emotionally addicted. You walk on eggshells, you feel frustrated, but timely dose of dopamine keeps you in there. It builds momentum. You feel like you are headed for somewhere. It's like running on gravel. You find it discomforting, but the pain goes away for chunks of time, and you feel like you are gaining speed, you can almost see the sweet destination, you can almost see your abuser permanently transform into the amazing person that she pretended to be in the idealization phase. You gain speed, get used to the discomfort, the anticipation of the abuser's on the verge transformation is enchanting, and then out of nowhere you hit a wall. All that momentum, all that effort just vanishes. You feel confused. You don't realize what just happened. The abuser now acts like there was nothing there in the first place. It was all in your head. You feel like you cannot trust anybody, not even yourself. You feel like a addict who has suddenly been deprived of the timely supply. Not only does the sweet destination doesn't exist, but the candy-land you had been to in the beginning was all a farce. Frustration, anger, resentment, guilt are feelings that now control you. It's hard to be productive. You don't know what to do. Is it revenge that you want, or the hope that the abuser may finally come around some day. I have seen it twice. I know the later would never happen, and the former is what the abuser wants. She wants you to react, to feel miserable. That's her victory. The only way to heal now is to forget and ignore. It's hard but its the only way.

      Nomore Tears: Here's how I look at it--forgiveness is divine if you can extend it to those who have hurt you. However, narc abuse is a different type of abuse because it's insidious and unrelenting--not to mention the narc gets a kick out of kicking you--especially when you're down. To that I say, "extend the forgiveness to yourself and let the narc/s extend the forgiveness to themselves," because the last thing we need as scapegoats and empaths is to feel obligated to forgive an unrepentant monster. If they want forgiveness, let them forgive themselves. The only thing I would caution against is that we don't hold grudges--because that will definitely eat us up inside and cause us illness (which the narc would delight in).

He dumped me again just before new year. Nothing caused it, he just left me by text. As he's always done. He abused me a lot. Emotionally, and psychologically. He deletes pictures off his Instagram but keeps some and I suppose it's part of the slow abuse after the break up. He's always come back saying it was this reason why, and that reason. He's never meant any of his apologies when he comes back because he dumps me again shortly after. It's cruel. Yet in person he seems charming and so kind.

    Number 3 is a challenge for me. Just watching you touch yourself and saying sorry to you made me feel this immense regret I have within me. I did let myself down by being in that relationship long past its expiry date. Forget abt forgiving him, I am struggling to forgive me first.
    Secondly, I DID have an addiction to that relationship. I didnt like the dynamic, toxicity AND the person but it felt like a gambling machine to me. I kept wanting to drop a quarter into the machine and see if I got somethin out of it .
    The blame game and devaluing made me wanna prove to him that I was a nice person and I didnt deserve this so treat me better.
    Its like most of the time when he would blame me for what HE did wrong, I was expected to take accountability for it.
    Sometimes I did cause I knew he just wntd to fight and create drama so Id just apologize to shut him up.
    That was one part of me, the other part of me didnt wanna be alone.
    I was also TIRED of dating and starting over.
    There were many negative things at play.
    Felt like every guy Ive ever dated was a narc. Im wondering Kevin, is it even possible for an empath to be in a relationship with another empath ?

    • @TheRoyalWe
      @TheRoyalWe  Před 6 lety +14

      +Rebecca-Joy Henson it is possible for an empath to have a relationship with another empath. And I imagined it would just be an explosion of fireworks. However, the difficulty in finding this relationship comes with slowing things way down to the point of really truly getting to know the person everything about them.

    • @ak-47intelligence75
      @ak-47intelligence75 Před 6 lety +8

      The Royal We : I dont mind slowing down. I kind of like it actually. These days, however, as a defense mechanism, I tend to push and rush thru relationships cause I hv wasted valuable time being in rships with narcs for YEARS ( a cumulative of 13 years with different narcissists ) and then finding out I need to get outta dodge. The last one was a huge blow. He acted like an empath SO well ! I figured finally I have someone on the same page but of course, the good ol' narky habits come out like daisies. He KNEW I was looking for an empath so the day he blew up, he tells me while screamin on top of his lung " you wanna see the real me ? This is the real me !!". Not sure why I decided to stay after he said that but it was CREEPY. "Its" voice even changed. I somehow thought maybe he was just goin thru a rough time at work. I dont mind mood swings cause ALL of us have it every now and then but did I think he was actiing up bcos he was a narcissist ? Not at all. A very rude awakening. If only we had empath clones like you.

    • @iamkat8104

      Rebecca-Joy Henson I took a 14yr hiatus from men after my divorce because my sociopathic ex did so much damage. Then I met a guy this past year...and he turned out to be textbook covert narc..about killed my heart. I didn't want to be alone all my life but man, I can't keep doing this heartbreak stuff. I can't just 'move on' like friends suggest. I am not built like that. Thankfully with this channel and a few others like it, I am getting educated on myself and the kind of men out there that I need to stay wayyy clear of.

    I learned from experience that a narcissist will never want to fix a problem. Even going to them to hear their side causes anger in them. They know they have acted badly, even a step to be willing to admit your own things is intimidating to the narcissist. They love to hate us when we attempt to fix things it shows them we are the more mature person who resolves things. Narcissists love conflict, just like the devil loves it.

    My mother breeded with a narcissist-the worst decision ever! He triangulated and manipulated his daughter into seeing him as a saint but he was a demon -i know this because I was his target. His scapegoat. And he eventually turned the entire family against me and I left home carrying the family's shame as well as his shame and blame.
    Well after long 6 years, I finally had a breakthrough and realized who he really was - a empathy lacking malignant covert narcissist, and I slowly proved that I was the victim all along -he was the real perpetuator. And since I was his target I know that he had stopped loving me first ever since I was a child because he lacked true empathy. Without it, there's no true love. Therefore he has never loved me. And he hides his demonic nature behind a mask.
    As we speak I'm having my photos removed from my mother's house where he stays at and I will NEVER bring my children there EVER! In fear that he may treat one of them like he has treated me.
    Like they say, the scariest thing is when the scapegoat rises from the depth of despair and reclaims his or her self worth that was lost many years ago and when the Real narcissist has been exposed.
    He's finished bruh and everyone knows it, except him.

(It was from a previous year and didn’t update it). I texted him briefly then reblocked. I had to for my own sanity. Just knowing he has access to me is not good. His 7 discards prior spoke volumes. He doesn’t feel good about himself and I wasn’t going to be the recipient of his frail ego and poor self worth. You are so right, Kevin. One can never do enough to please these nutters.

    What you need to understand as well is that the narc is going through the same thing or worse. It's the same program. They are sitting there needing you to call them. You just have to be indifferent and say I don't care what he or she or they are doing. Just smile at yourself and know they are missing you even more.

      @StitchShifter Před 5 lety +2

      @@MsPeppersmom I almost implied the narc gas feelings like a human there.. So instead of them "missing you" it's more like them missing what you could be doing for them.
      It's almost like you trying to have a relationship with them to start with. You try but it always goes wrong and it's just never right. Its even accepted as just grouchyness or their sour disposition. You will try every angle to try to accept them but it all boils down to the same thing. You having to work double time to try to please everyone before yourself and you suffer for it.
      Also I'm speaking from my perspective as a child who was brought up with this disorder by narc parents so this is a parent child situation and every relationship and narc are different.

The second time it happened he tried to triangulate and said a girl in a cafe was flirting with him while I was in the bathroom, then told me to shut the f*** up a bunch of times when I calmly asked him what he meant by her flirting with him (gaslighting again) and I never spoke to him again after that.

He has always had someone else in the picture but says its because of me and that he is doing this to make sure he stays with me because he didnt realize he was getting with a woman who isn't nurturing. It hurts and for so long I believed it. He brought another girl into our home and she has been living there since we got married and of course his thing is that they are best friends and he doesn't look at her like that and that we need help but he wont get a job... I feel so stupid and weak. I cant believe I allowed this for so long. We have 2 young boys and I kept staying thinking I was giving them their father.

He falsified court documents and defaced my character to protect his fake image because he didn't want me to expose him by moving forward with charges (I told him I would press charges because he physically attacked me.) Do not have mercy on these narcissists, they DO NOT give a shit about us and they are RUTHLESS. Be strong and STAND IN YOUR TRUTH. DO NOT HESITATE OR WAIT, THEY WILL RETALIATE AGAINST YOU.

Put him on Ritalin when he was a child and displaying unhappiness eith her after she took him away from his father. He at a young age had anxiety, depression ended up Turing to drugs..heroin. fst fwd 20 years...he's still using, his mother has been enabling him and supporting his drug addiction in secret all while telling other people she doesn't and complaining about his issues to get attention. My cousin feels no self worth, he's has no voice anymore, he lives in fear of his mother and now his sister whose very narcasstic as well. He just entered a rehab for 90 days and he really wants to trun his life around but I fear if he doesn't cut off his narcassist mother and sister he will fall right back. He uses because he can't display his pain they caused. It breaks my heart for him. He needs you and your coaching. I'm sending him some of your videos and I hope it opens his eyes so he can really heal and kick this habit once and for all.

      Accept the invaluable lessons. Love yourself and lift your self esteem. You are lovable even if he made you feel like a disposable trash. His behavior is NOT a reflection of your self worth.
      The more you will love and accept and know your self worth the less likely to attract such disrespect and games.
      You are worthy of love.

      Same here.
      This is a narcissistic trademark way - to throw people away like trash. This is exactly what hurt me so much.
      Good people would not do it to anyone.
      We just have to mentally pick ourselves up and move on towards real happiness.
      But do not worry dear.
      Life/God/karma/universe/etc. will deliver them exactly to that trash hole. Leave the vengeаnce to God. There is no deadline on it. And karma never looses addresses.
      Thank God the trash took itself our.
      We are blessed.
