Imagine waking up to discover that the person you trusted most has been systematically dismantling your sense of self. Your reality feels distorted, your confidence shattered, and you're left wondering if you'll ever feel whole again. This psychological devastation is the hallmark of narcissistic abuse-a phenomenon that affects countless lives across all demographics. The good news? Complete recovery isn't just possible-it's your birthright. Narcissistic abuse creates trauma so profound that victims often describe it as worse than death, feeling their very being is no longer their own. But this suffering serves a profound purpose: it reveals how we've failed to become our own source of love, approval, and security.
