Introduction
On Facebook, I have seen numerous posts about people caving in to exploitation by others. Examples include continuing toxic relationships because of guilt about being “cold-hearted,” lending money that is not repaid, and doing favors for others that are not ultimately beneficial.
Codependency is an intimate dance between codependents and narcissistic personality types. Let me share my favorite codependent joke to help you better understand codependency.
Two codependents have sex. In the afterglow, one asks the other, “Well, it was good for you; how was it for me”? Codependents don’t have positive relationships with themselves. They often choose the needs of others over their own. This is not good.
Additionally, narcissists have an unhealthy relationship with themselves. They placed their interests first. They take advantage of others and relationships for personal gain without regret or sorrow. They fail to recognize their role in wrongdoing and shift the blame to others.
It is easy to understand how codependents and narcissists become entangled. It resembles the fitting together of two puzzle pieces. One is the easier target for the other. However, there is more of a relationship.
It is discovered that this interaction has familial ties. You are more likely to develop codependency or narcissism yourself if you have one narcissistic parent. The same is true if you have two narcissistic parents.
Codependency recovery enables a person to begin establishing boundaries and challenging the narcissist. All humans find it extremely difficult to imagine someone who is completely incapable of feeling empathy or being able to learn from past mistakes. A codependent's primary mistake is assuming the best about the narcissistic partner because it is difficult to imagine how someone could be so unforgiving and selfish. Thus, the dynamic starts.
The good news for the codependent is that there is still the possibility for healing once they fully appreciate how lacking in compassion the narcissist is—an attribute that characterizes us as humans. Codependents can work well with a therapist to make adjustments because they are ready to place the blame for issues on themselves. For the narcissist, not so. They are pathologically incapable of changing because they are trapped in their universe of non-blame. How can people change if they cannot recognize that they have a problem?
This book intends to provide helpful insights and techniques to help you recover from gaslighting and narcissism, with strategies to detect, disarm, and manage narcissistic and abusive relationships. If you’re ready to start your recovery path through personalized coaching and support, this book can help.
Break Free From Toxic Patterns—Discover What Keeps You Stuck
Do you feel trapped in a cycle of constantly giving, while your own needs are overlooked? Codependency and narcissistic abuse create a painful dynamic where, no matter how much you give, the narcissist’s need for control leaves you feeling drained, confused, and questioning your worth.
The toll of these relationships runs deep. Persistent self-doubt, isolation, and emotional scars often become part of daily life. If you find yourself walking on eggshells, fearing anger or disapproval, it’s likely that your identity is fading as you become increasingly dependent on their approval. This exhausting cycle can make breaking free feel nearly impossible.
But real freedom starts with understanding why these patterns exist. Our free “What Is Your Psychological Archetype?” quiz helps you uncover the traits that influence your behavior and make you vulnerable to toxic dynamics. With this insight, you’ll gain clarity on what drives your actions, empowering you to disrupt these patterns and reclaim your life.
You deserve more than the constant struggle of prioritizing others while neglecting yourself. Take the quiz now and begin your journey toward understanding, healing, and lasting empowerment. quiz.books4growth.com
Understanding Narcissistic Abuse And Codependency
The terms codependence and narcissism are familiar to many of us. Codependency is when two people are entangled in a life where they depend on one another and suffer from emotional distress. A narcissistic partner is self-centered, arrogant and lacks empathy for their partner.
In this chapter, we will discuss narcissistic abuse in greater detail. We’ll also look at codependency, a natural complement to narcissistic abuse.
What Is Narcissistic Abuse?
Narcissistic abuse is a method of emotional abuse in which the perpetrator only cares about himself and may exploit their partner’s actions and words to control their mood and behavior. The effects of narcissistic abuse can differ depending on how long a person can handle these relationships. The effects might be minor or severe, and while some survivors recover, others may experience lasting damage.
Narcissists often project their emotions onto other people because these emotions bring them pain. They might have grown up with narcissistic carers, suffered abuse, or went through terrible experiences that affected their childhood. This does not, however, justify the mental or physical abuse perpetrated upon their victims.
Signs Of Narcissistic Abuse
Whether platonic, familial, or romantic, narcissistic abuse manifests itself in relationships in various ways. To establish or maintain control over the relationship or marriage, narcissists can use various strategies to shatter a person’s sense of reality and confidence. They could make you feel crazy, making you less likely to ask friends and relatives for support. A narcissist can abuse someone sexually, emotionally, mentally, physically, financially, or otherwise.
The following are 25 indicators of narcissistic abuse:
Gaslighting
Narcissistic gaslighting involves intentionally leading someone to doubt their understanding of reality or think they’re mentally ill. Narcissists will accomplish this by using precise, targeted gaslighting language.
You no longer feel like the person you used to be; you feel like everything you do is wrong; you always believe it’s your fault when things go wrong; you feel less confident and more anxious than you did previously; you often wonder if you’re being too sensitive; you often doubt whether your response to your partner is appropriate; you apologize frequently; and you have a sense that something’s wrong but are unable to pinpoint what it is.
Verbal & Emotional Abuse
A narcissist often emotionally or verbally abuses you to maintain control and further undermine you. Behavior that is intended to hurt you is what defines emotional abuse. This may appear as lying, threatening to harm you, or calling you stupid. Name-calling and insults are examples of verbal abuse.
Projection
Narcissistic projection entails blaming the victim for one’s problems rather than accepting responsibility. For instance, a narcissistic abuser would claim that their partner lied when, in fact, they had lied (this is known as DARVO, or deny, attack, reverse victim and offender). Or they accuse a partner of wrongdoing when they haven’t. This confuses.
Attempts To Keep You Away From Your Loved Ones
Narcissists make you dependent on them by cutting you off from your friends and family. They can control you if they cut you off from your support network. They can claim they don’t like your friends or family, complain that you spend too much time with them, or disparage their behavior or interactions with you to influence how you feel.
Physical Violence Threats
Narcissists often experience anger, although this emotion does not always translate into physical aggression. Narcissists can use threats of harm as coercion to prevent you from leaving or seeing your family. They frighten you by threatening to use violence to keep getting what they want. They might say something like, “You'll regret leaving! Or, "I'll punch you if you try to go out with your friends tonight."
Regular Criticism And Insults
One of narcissists’ tactics is making you feel dependent on them as a means of control and manipulation. They will degrade you and others to appear and feel superior to everyone else. They can never be wrong and must always feel superior to others to avoid appearing "stupid."
