Narcissistic abuse inflicts profound emotional and physical damage on survivors, often manifesting as confusion, isolation, and trauma bonding. In an interview with Orenda Fink, the complexity of these abusive dynamics is discussed, including tactics like gaslighting that foster dependency on the abuser. Fink's memoir, 'The Witch's Daughter,' illustrates her own experiences with this manipulation. Jungian depth psychology emerges as a beneficial approach to help survivors recognize their internalized narratives and triggers, including the erratic nature of narcissistic relationships that are often cloaked in charm and charisma, complicating the survivor's healing process.
Narcissistic abuse is a form of emotional and psychological manipulation where the abuser seeks to control their victim to extract emotional, physical, or material resources.
Victims may experience confusion, isolation, emotional rollercoasters, physical symptoms, and trauma bonding, feeling an intense attachment to the abuser despite the harm.
