Narcissism

Common Problems in Relationships with a Narcissist

Over the years, we have encountered many types of personalities and have learned how to help clients cope with finding the balance. Often clients realize they are faced with understanding how they found themselves in these situations and with doing the deep diving, inner sanctum soul work that was needful to live fuller more peaceful lives. In short, many of my clients realize they have been sleeping with the enemy and must face their narcissist spouse. Because we have come across this so much in the practice of law, we thought it fitting to provide you with a short glossary of terms that you can research and reflect on that may be useful for you to navigate the murky water of life with a narcissist.

These relationships are mentally and often physically dangerous and it may take extra help to find the strength to remove yourself, especially if you have children or are financially dependent on the narcissist in your life. If so, we want to make sure you get help and ultimately find your way out of the toxic situation if that is the deliberate result you seek and wish to create.

Things Your Narcissist Partner Doesn’t Want You To Know They Do or Are

• Stonewall
• Future Fake Love Bomb
• Scapegoat
• Employ Flying Monkeys
• Gaslight
• Devalue & Dismiss
• Discard & Invalidate
• Trauma Bond
• Blame
• Irresponsible
• Manipulate & Coerce
• Suffer Narcissistic Injuries
• Have Grandiose Tendencies
• Entitled
• Painful Sarcasm
• Use You for Narcissistic Supply
• Toxic
• Breadcrumb You
• Overly Critical

This tactics in concert frequently results in narcissistic relationships lasting for years or decades past the time they should have expired. Since we are creatures of habit, once the narcissist learns they can employ a combination of these tactics to keep you bewildered and searching how to stay in their good graces, they become masterful at it and before you know it, your sense of self is lost and you are needlessly spinning your wheels jumping through hoops for your narcissistic partner.

The only way to ward against the diminishing onslaughts of the narcissist is finding your own inner sanctum. You must seek your own value and learn to self-partner and be responsible for loving yourself.

Diet and Nutrition

Exercise and diet are always of the utmost importance, but during intensely stressful times, it is even more important. Exercise and diet will enhance your immune system to get you through a divorce with a cheating spouse, being prosecuted for DWI, traversing through the probate after the transition of your beloved family member or in the fight of your life against police brutality.

Self-care during this time is of the utmost importance. You alone are in the guardian of your soul and the foundation of growth is peace. Your inner world is the precursor of what your outer would will become and you have the sole responsibility of empowering yourself and charting a path to wellness, regardless of the painful and disappointing circumstances you face.
