If they weaponize therapy like THIS... they’re a narcissist
One of the most confusing things about narcissistic abuse isn't the lying.
It isn't the gaslighting.
It isn't even the manipulation.
It's when they start using the language of healing, growth and development... against you.
Suddenly they're talking about boundaries, triggers, regulation, projections, accountability, and what "their therapist" supposedly said.
And somehow... you end up questioning yourself.
I've heard women say things like:
"He told me his therapist thinks I'm the narcissist."
"We went to couples therapy... and I left feeling even more confused than when I walked in."
"I started wondering if maybe I really was the problem."
If any of that sounds familiar, I want you to know something:
Knowing therapy language and using personal growth vocabulary is not the same as being emotionally healthy.
In this week's video, I explain how narcissistic people can weaponize the language of therapy and personal growth to control the narrative, undermine your confidence, and keep you doubting your own lived experience.
More importantly, I'll show you the simple shift that helps you stop evaluating people by how emotionally intelligent they sound... and start evaluating them by how emotionally safe you actually feel around them.
That shift changes everything.

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments after you've watched.
Enjoy!
