Recover, Rebuild, and Thrive Beyond Narcissistic Abuse
Narcissistic Relationship Trauma Therapy in Fort Wayne
Recover, Rebuild, and Reclaim Your Life after Narcissistic Abuse
Understanding Narcissistic Relationship Trauma
Being in a relationship with someone who displays narcissistic behaviors can leave deep emotional wounds. Narcissistic abuse often involves manipulation, gaslighting, control, and a cycle of idealization and devaluation — leaving the survivor confused, isolated, and emotionally drained.
Unlike physical abuse, narcissistic relationship trauma is often invisible, but the psychological scars are real. Many survivors struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, and even symptoms of PTSD.
At Insight Counseling, we offer Narcissistic Relationship Trauma Therapy in Fort Wayne to support individuals on their path to healing. Whether your experience was with a romantic partner, parent, or close friend, we’re here to help you understand what happened, rebuild your sense of self, and move forward with strength and clarity.
What Is Narcissistic Abuse?
Narcissistic abuse is a form of emotional manipulation used by individuals with narcissistic traits or Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). This dynamic is often cyclical, alternating between charm and cruelty, praise and punishment — which keeps the survivor emotionally confused and psychologically dependent.
Common behaviors in narcissistic abuse include:
Gaslighting: Making you doubt your reality or memory
Isolation from friends or support systems
Love bombing followed by devaluation
Criticism, control, or passive-aggressive behavior
Blame-shifting and lack of accountability
Using guilt, shame, or fear to maintain dominance
These relationships can cause long-term trauma even after they end — affecting future trust, emotional stability, and personal identity.
