Resources and Support for Narcissistic Abuse
Victims of Narcissistic Abuse
After an individual has gone through the confusing, emotionally devastating and damaging effects of narcissistic abuse it is important that he/she get the help and support that is truly necessary to make a full recovery.
The Narcissism Resource Directory provides a wealth of information, articles, therapists and practitioners who specialize in narcissistic abuse, spiritual resources, personal growth and development and more.
If you believe someone you love or have been involved with in some capacity may have narcissistic personality disorder than you have come to the right place to get the help you both need and deserve. However it is important to carefully examine all information that is presented and come to your own conclusions. Part of your recovery involves learning to trust yourself and what feels right or doesn't feel right. You will know when something you read rings true for you, and you will also get a feeling when it doesn't. So trust your feelings and make your decisions accordingly.
Beware of any information that completely alleviates you of the responsibility for what was created in your life. Although you are not responsible for the behavior of the narcissist you are responsible for your reactions, your thoughts and your feelings. You may not have been aware in the past of how you attracted this type of situation into your life and you may not be aware of the things you were doing to perpetuate the cycle, nevertheless it always takes two to tango and without the "victim" providing narcissistic supply, the narcissism could not continue. This is why it is important to understand how this disorder works and how you have been playing a part in keeping it going.
Individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder
If you have been diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder or think you may have it, there is also a world of information available to help you understand this disorder. Although there are many schools of thought that believe there is no cure, there are just as many who believe that any cure must come from within and if you sincerely are looking for positive change in your life and are willing to do the work, you can have a shift of consciousness and live your life from a healthier perspective.
I have talked to many people who feel they had strong narcissistic tendencies before making a serious commitment to spiritual or personal growth which helped them to develop true compassion for others and a deep sense of self. Recovering from narcissistic personality disorder would require in depth self-examination and a belief that you can change. You must also be willing to take personal responsibility for what you see outpicturing in your life. This means that you would come to the understanding that you are not just attracting people into your life who are to blame for your problems but to see that you are responsible for what you are creating in your life and if you want a different result you must make different choices.
