Therapy with a Push
Develop Immunity to Narcissistic Manipulation
Are you a magnet for narcissists?
This might be for a number of reasons, such as being raised by narcissistic parents or learning in childhood that love means doing as you are told and not making a fuss. If you have a tendency in relationships, intimate or otherwise, to give more than you receive, you are the perfect fodder for narcissists.
There is currently so much being written and talked about regarding narcissism that I won’t describe the behaviours you are probably well aware of here. In part, this is because I am taking a different approach to the issue.
It is tempting, once aware of having been prey to narcissistic abuse, to get involved in forums and lengthy conversations about what the narcissist did next. This might initially have helped you understand what has happened to you. However, I want to focus more on what it is about you that enabled you to be reeled in.
Why me?
A manipulator is as strongly conditioned to sniff out self-doubt as you are conditioned to defer to the other. If you are unsure of yourself and take responsibility for others’ mistakes, a manipulator will work this out in no time and get to work on you.
You defer to others and people-please because you don’t like or trust yourself much and assume others know best. A narcissist will recognise this and tune in to the most effective way of drawing you in, usually using love-bombing.
If you dislike yourself and feel worthless, the intensity of this attention will feel like the sun is suddenly shining on you and you will be hooked.
Let me help you develop immunity
Let me help you turn around your self-concept so that you are immune to such flattery. I would like you to be in the wonderful position that if a narcissist were to attempt to reel you in with flattery, good cop/bad cop, control, guilt-tripping or any of the other devices, you would just walk on by. This could save you years of manipulation because enter a relationship with a narcissist and repent at leisure.
Don’t make yourself a slave to manipulators for the sake of 5 minutes of inflated self-worth. Let me help you improve your relationship with yourself – it will improve your life in every way. Once you know that no one knows you better than yourself, life will begin to feel good. Click here to find out more about the way I work.
