If you’re currently in a relationship of any kind with a narcissist, or you have previously escaped from one, I could really use your help. See, it’s my mission to help you and others like you to heal and to learn how to rediscover your true self and to live the life you truly deserve. But first, just in case you’re not sure, let’s define narcissistic abuse.

What is Narcissistic Abuse? 

Narcissistic abuse involves subtle manipulation, pervasive control tactics, gaslighting, and emotional and psychological abuse.  Many narcissistic abusers might be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder – if they actually go to a psychologist for diagnosis, but this rarely happens as narcissists don’t feel that there’s anything with them. They may be overtly narcissistic, or they may be more of a covert narcissist. In either case, anyone in a close relationship with one of these toxic people will be used as a form of narcissistic supply and not treated like an actual person. Sadly, even the most intelligent and educated people can be manipulated and abused by a narcissist.

If you’re not sure you’ve been dealing with narcissistic abuse, you can take this test and find out.
