Signs of narcissistic or emotional abuse

Many clients seek therapy after experiencing patterns such as:

• Chronic criticism, blame, or gaslighting

• Feeling responsible for another person’s emotions

• Walking on eggshells to avoid conflict

• Cycles of idealization and devaluation

• Loss of confidence, identity, or self-trust

• Difficulty leaving or fully detaching from the relationship

These experiences can leave lasting emotional and nervous system effects, even after the relationship ends.

The impact of narcissistic abuse

Emotional abuse often leads to:

• Anxiety, hypervigilance, or panic

• Depression or emotional numbness

• Shame and self-doubt

• Trauma symptoms or intrusive memories

• Difficulty trusting others or setting boundaries

Because the harm is psychological rather than physical, survivors are often minimized or misunderstood, making compassionate therapy especially important.

Our approach to recovery

At Waypoint Psychotherapy, recovery from narcissistic abuse focuses on:

• Restoring clarity about what happened

• Rebuilding self-trust and personal identity

• Processing trauma through trauma-informed therapy or EMDR when appropriate

• Learning healthy boundaries and relationship patterns

• Developing a stable sense of safety, autonomy, and confidence

Therapy is respectful, non-judgmental, and paced carefully, allowing healing to unfold without pressure.

Moving forward after abuse

Healing from narcissistic abuse does not only mean leaving the past behind.
It often includes:

• trusting your perceptions again

• feeling emotionally steady and grounded

• forming healthier, reciprocal relationships

• reconnecting with your own values and direction in life

Recovery is possible, and many clients discover a stronger and clearer sense of self than they had before the relationship.
