Narcissist's Secrets Series #6: They Don't Believe in Morals, Ethics, and Loyalty- But They Expect Everyone Else To!

Enjoy our sixth episode on the Narcissist's Secrets Series. What makes narcissists most successful in the abuse of others, comes with the misunderstanding that their targets are usually very concerned with what is right and wrong.

Narcissist’s Secrets #4: They Don’t Want You To Know You Can Say No

Enjoy this episode, the fourth in the series. I discuss the concept of why the narcissist doesn't want you to know that you can say no, and that is usually based on their continued attempts to control their target and target's environment, gaslight the target, to get them to refrain from their interests, hobbies, in a way to gain control of their daily lives. At the end, these abusers, if successful, can achieve an almost "slave-like" target that is 24/7 all about the narcissist, causing the tar...

Victim vs. Survivor- for those of us who have experienced abuse and are learning about it and how to prevent it moving forward- we are survivors, not victims. The victims are the abusers- they hav...
