Narcissistic Abuse: Recognising the Challenges, Reclaiming Your Power
The image above is a sobering reminder of the silent wounds left by narcissistic abuse. From relentless self-judgment to the paralysing fear of trusting again, these challenges often linger long after the abuse ends. Whether it’s the need for approval, catastrophising over small problems, or loyalty that goes unreciprocated, these behaviours reflect the deep emotional impact of living under someone else’s control.
For many women—and men—this cycle of self-doubt and overcompensation becomes a painful norm. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. Recognising these challenges is the first step to breaking free. Healing begins when you understand that these struggles aren’t a reflection of your worth but the imprint of someone else’s manipulation.
