I get a lot of comments saying “not everyone is a narcissist” — and that’s true.

And I also want to be clear: I’m not here to diagnose people I’ve never met.

What we talk about here has less to do with diagnosed pathological narcissism, and more to do with narcissistic style — patterns of behavior that show up in relationships and create confusion, harm, and emotional distress.

My guidance comes from years of working with narcissistic dynamics and the people impacted by them. I can name manipulation tactics, help you understand patterns, differentiate behaviors, and point out red flags that are often hard to see when you’re in it.

But I’m not here to label people.

I’m here to help you make sense of your experience through education, tools, and emotional support that actually helps you heal, and go Beyond Healing.

Healthy relationships allow space for individuality, boundaries, and mutual care.

Narcissistic relationships erase the separation entirely.

Your needs feel inconvenient, your autonomy feels threatening, and your role becomes keeping the narcissist emotionally regulated at your own expense.

That’s why survivors often say they “lost themselves” in the relationship. Because they were never allowed to fully exist within it.

Part of the healing journey is relearning that you are allowed to have needs, opinions, and interests that do not revolve around someone else. Healthy love does not require self-erasure. 🤍

Ever wonder why narcissists can’t just own up to their sh*t? 🙄

There IS some psychology behind it. Alloplastic defense often manifests as shifting blame, avoiding responsibility, and projecting guilt onto others – and it is common in Cluster B personality disorders like narcissism.

Narcissists are unlikely to take accountability, because that would mean accepting that the image they’ve crafted is wavering.

Instead, they’ll shift their own mindset to a victim mentality – everything is happening TO them, not because of them.

Does giving it a psychological definition make it okay? Of course not. But it might help you to understand where this behavior is coming from, and why it is not normal or acceptable.

Complex PTSD is a very real struggle, but it’s often minimized or ignored because it does not stem from one “big” trauma.

I’m here to tell you that what you’re experiencing is valid, it is common, and it is possible to heal.

Healing from CPTSD is no easy task – you have to unlearn hardwired behaviors, and teach your nervous system that things like safety, boundaries, and rest are no longer threats.

Have you ever tried asking a narcissist about their past?

I guarantee you, they’ll struggle to tell you about it. 🤔

A fragmented episodic memory is a common trait of narcissism – and one many people don’t know about.

But when you look at the psychology behind it, it makes sense. 🧠

Narcissistic individuals often struggle to form authentic emotional connections, even with parts of their own identity and life experience.

At the same time, they are highly focused on curating and protecting a specific image of themselves.

Put those things together, and it becomes easier to understand why some narcissists may distort, exaggerate, rewrite, or “misremember” parts of their past.
