Have you ever met someone that is so charming, giving and caring until you questioned them, gave them a suggestion, or challenged them and their mask came off? You were shocked to find that the person underneath is nothing like other people know them to be.
You are left feeling alone and confused, blaming yourself, wondering what happened. Narcissistic individuals have an identifiable pattern of gaining control over their victims. Narcissistic abuse recovery can help you get your life back.
Your relationship has changed. Lately you feel that your partner has grown distant. When you try to talk it out the conversation can end in a fight.
Maybe things improve for a while, but soon you both find yourself in the same cycle. You feel that your partner is not understanding your needs, making you feel more and more alone.
You want to find ways to connect, have tools to communicate where you both feel seen and heard. You want things to get better but wonder if couples counseling is for you.
You're good at keeping appearances- you have a job, you pay the bills, manage your household, take care of the kids. You tell yourself that you just need help taking the edge off. A reward at the end of the day.
The problem is you find yourself drinking or using more and more and hiding things from your partner.
You suspect that something is not right, but you don't know where to turn, or even if you have a problem.
Feelings of stress and anxiety have taken over, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and unable to sleep.
You are more irritable and on edge, at times you are so apprehensive about the future that you find yourself having panic attacks.
You feel helpless and scared, unsure of how to handle the next attack or how to prevent them from happening.
You want to find peace and manage the angst, but when the ruminating thoughts start you find yourself helpless against them.
You find it difficult to do things you once enjoyed. Your mood and lack of energy make it very difficult to carry out your day to day tasks.
Things that were easy and enjoyable to do before, now seem like overwhelming chores that bring you little pleasure.
You feel alone and like life is passing you by.
You want to find tools to help relieve your symptoms and live the life you want.
You find yourself in a relationship that may have started out great but have slowly become one sided.
You are a natural giver, and find it difficult to say no. When you find yourself taken advantage of yet again, you wonder what it is about you that attracts the wrong types of people into your life.
You want to have healthy boundaries but wonder why you feel so guilty when you say no.
