Updated: Oct 23

Woman who suffered narcissitic abuse

Growing up with a narcissistic parent can leave deep, lasting scars that follow you into adulthood. The emotional wounds inflicted by such relationships often manifest as low self-esteem, trust issues, and difficulties in establishing healthy boundaries. As a Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT) who has personally navigated the turbulent waters of narcissistic abuse, I understand the profound impact it can have on your life. My mission is to help you recognize these effects, guide you toward healing, and support your journey to reclaiming your true self.


Understanding Narcissistic Abuse


Narcissistic abuse is a pervasive form of emotional maltreatment where the parent’s needs and desires are prioritized over the child’s well-being. This dynamic often leads to several detrimental effects:


1. Emotional Neglect:

Narcissistic parents typically focus on their own needs, leading to significant emotional neglect. You might have felt unimportant, unloved, and invalidated.


2. Conditional Love:

Love and approval were likely contingent on meeting your parent’s expectations, creating deep-seated feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt.


3. Role Reversal:

You may have been expected to provide emotional support to your parent, taking on adult responsibilities prematurely and missing out on your childhood.


4. Manipulation and Control:

Narcissistic parents often manipulate and control their children, causing them to doubt their perceptions and feel powerless.


5. Lack of Boundaries:

Personal boundaries were likely not respected, making it challenging for you to establish healthy boundaries in your adult relationships.


Long-term Effects of narcissistic abuse in Adulthood


The impact of growing up with a narcissistic parent often extends far into adulthood, manifesting in various ways:


Low Self-Esteem: Years of conditional love and criticism can erode your self-esteem and self-worth.


People-Pleasing: Seeking approval and avoiding conflict might become second nature, making it hard to assert your own needs and desires.


Difficulty Trusting Others: Past manipulation and betrayal can lead to trust issues, hindering the formation of healthy relationships.


Perfectionism and Overachievement: A drive to prove your worth might result in perfectionistic tendencies and overachievement as coping mechanisms.


Emotional Regulation Issues: Identifying and expressing emotions appropriately can be tough after years of emotional invalidation and neglect.


How RTT Therapy Can Help


As a practitioner of RTT, I utilize a powerful combination of hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to address the root causes of psychological issues quickly and effectively. Here’s how RTT can support your healing journey from narcissistic abuse:


Identifying Root Causes: Together, we will uncover and understand the deep-seated beliefs formed during your childhood. This awareness is the first step toward healing.


Rewriting Limiting Beliefs: Through hypnosis and other techniques, I will help you replace negative beliefs with empowering ones, transforming feelings of inadequacy into self-acceptance and confidence.


Emotional Release: In our sessions, you will have a safe space to express and release repressed emotions, leading to emotional healing and freedom from past trauma.


Building Self-Worth: I will guide you in building a positive self-image and self-worth, independent of external validation. This involves reinforcing your inherent value and capabilities.


Establishing Boundaries: Together, we will work on recognizing and establishing healthy boundaries, improving your relationships and personal autonomy.


Developing Coping Strategies: I will equip you with practical tools and coping strategies to manage stress, regulate emotions, and navigate relationships effectively.
