FAQ

● FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED NARCISSISTIC RELATIONSHIPS

You're Not Imagining It

Narcissistic relationships leave invisible wounds. While you might look perfectly fine on the outside, inside you may be experiencing:

  • Constant self-doubt and questioning your reality

  • Difficulty trusting your own perceptions

  • Feeling like you're 'too sensitive' or 'overreacting'

  • Apologizing for things that aren't your fault

  • Walking on eggshells to avoid conflict

  • Losing your sense of identity and preferences

  • Exhaustion from trying to prove your worth

These are normal responses to abnormal relationship dynamics. Your experiences are real, and healing is possible.
