Stop allowing abusers to get off easy: Dr. Ramani explains narcissistic abuse

[Meditation guide]

If you are a survivor of abuse watch this and learn why it leads to self blame and depression. Stop rationalizing bad behavior. I've had to learn about narcissistic abuse to explain what I went through and it has been helpful.

Thank you for sharing, it was interesting ! I have a friend who is a survivor of narcissistic abuse and it's been extremely difficult to make my friend see what is really going on ! In fact I failed miserably although it probably wasn't my fault because it is so deeply ingrained ! My friend can sort of sense that something is wrong... but self-blames A LOT and keeps finding excuses for the narcissist's unacceptable behaviour ! Narcissistic abuse drives some wonderful people to suicide... it makes me so sad and angry !

I am sorry to hear that you had to go through something like this @Meditation guide but I am glad to hear that you were able to see it for what it is Nobody deserves to go through that !

My wife is a narcissist but is doing good when it comes to being self-aware of her actions and its affect on me. Though it pains me to see her do something that she is uncomfortable with. Like it's fighting against her own personality to be a better person and not let her actions take control. I do self-blame a lot and I believe I enable her often even though I don't mean to. She desires to be mean, and is sad that she can't.

I made excuses for my mother for years before I finally learned that she was, in fact, a malignant narcissist. My therapist also recommended a book called INSIDE THE CRIMINAL MIND by Stanton Samenow. Malignant narcissists have the same mindset, even if they may not be convicted criminals, legally speaking. (But the two often go hand-in-hand.) If I had known then what I know now, I'd not have been so forgiving, knowing that she knew all along what she was doing. But hindsight is 20-20, I suppose...

it says "This video is private". I can't watch. but anyways, I wonder how many people CTB for reasons that are directly related to narcissistic abuse. probably a lot. the amount of trauma and suffering the narcissists can cause is huge.
I generally recommend going No Contact.
get financially independent, learn what the No Contact policy is and apply it.

Not sure which video that was, but here's a recent one from her that I just shared. She has many videos there on the topic.
