Narcissistic abuse is one of the most damaging — and misunderstood — forms of psychological harm.
It often goes unseen by others, leaving survivors questioning themselves, isolated, and emotionally exhausted.
Whether you’re dealing with a narcissistic partner, parent, friend, or ex, the impact can be profound. Many people struggle to make sense of what they’ve been through, often wondering: Was it really abuse? Why can’t I move on?
This course is designed to give you clarity.
Grounded in lived experience and professional insight, it breaks down how narcissistic abuse works, how to identify the tactics used by narcissists, and how to begin healing from the trauma. If you’re feeling confused, overwhelmed, or stuck, this course is here to help you make sense of it all — and take back control.
