The Royal We has helped Millions to escape the grip of narcissistic abuse. Here’s a deeper look into what narcissistic abuse looks like and steps to heal from it:
Narcissistic abuse looks like:
Lack of Empathy: Narcissists often show little to no empathy for others, making it easy for them to manipulate and exploit. Narcissists use various tactics such as gaslighting, love bombing, and devaluation to control and dominate their victims.
Common Tactics Used in Narcissistic Abuse:
Gaslighting: Making the victim doubt their own reality and sanity.
Love Bombing: Showering the victim with excessive attention and affection to gain control.
Devaluation: Undermining the victim’s self-worth through criticism, belittling, and emotional neglect.
Isolation: Cutting the victim off from their support systems to increase dependency on the abuser.
Triangulation: Using others to create jealousy or competition, keeping the victim feeling insecure.
Healing from Narcissistic Abuse
How to begin healing from narcissistic abuse:
Understand that you have been enduring narcissistic abuse. This awareness is the first step toward healing.
Get Help:
Work with The Royal We to get the tools to understand and process your experiences. Visit - www.jointheroyalwe.com
Establish No Contact or Low Contact:
Limit or completely cut off communication with the narcissistic abuser. This helps you gain emotional distance and begin your healing journey.
Rebuild Your Self-Esteem:
Engage in activities that boost your confidence and self-worth. Surround yourself with supportive, positive people who value and respect you.
Educate Yourself:
Learn about narcissistic abuse and its effects. Knowledge is empowering and can help you recognize patterns and avoid future toxic relationships.
Practice Self-Care:
Prioritize your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, adequate sleep, and mindfulness practices can all contribute to your recovery.

    This shows how the subtle abuse works and we do not see all the scenes. At the end we realize that even when he was being nice that might not actually be the truth. This woman becomes a total mess, she starts to lose projects, then gets fired from her job and by the end everyone including herself believes that she's crazy and she's already taking psych medication. At this point she already got some mental illness diagnosis (anxiety/depression/borderline/bipolar) and even all her friends who knew her not like that just think she suddenly got mental illness from a sneeze, like covid or sth. She's now trapped without knowing the reality and nobody believes her. The movie already shows him getting into physical abuse by throwing the glass off her hand and causing her an injury...then tells her she did it herself.

    For me personally, I knew what really happened, but he would manipulate me into thinking that’s not how it happened. He accused me of getting too drunk at his friend’s birthday party and embarrassing him. In reality, I got really sick after two drinks and only had plain soft drink for the rest of the night. He didn’t know this so saw it as an opportunity to claim I had 10+ alcoholic drinks. He started laying into his friend for smoking, said some really cruel comment about the friend’s mother having cancer and how she should know better. She looked ready to kill him so I sternly told him to back off, she’s an adult, and he was out of line. He claimed the next day that I was screaming at him and everyone at all the other tables were staring at me and I was an embarrassing drunk mess. He claimed the friend sent him a text saying she was so sorry she got him in trouble and didn’t realise his girlfriend would react like that and be so crazy. Lying about the message from the friend, he knew that would make me doubt myself. It worked just enough, he saw me hesitate and went for the kill. They’re masters at what they do. I knew the whole time that it wasn’t reality but the tiny sliver of doubt was enough to make me think maybe I wasn’t remembering it correctly. I know now what a bunch of bullsh*t that is but hindsight is 20/20.

    Had a moment of dawning with this. I grew up around those who I feel fit the bill of a narcissistic and physcally abusive father and two brothers. ...and later a friend who was verbally abusive. I see ways that I've bent over backwards for their approval. Ages ago thru counseling I felt relief over recognising my role as scapegoat. Fortunately their behavior granted me the freedom of having zero sense of obligation and I left familal proximity decades ago .... only to invite in a friend I suppose to fill in those decades. The dawning is that I believe the abuse created in me inhibition and a sort of stutter on one hand and at times rather overly talkative, overly friendly behavior especially when I meet strangers -- falsely bubbly and a bit anxious -- too many punchlines and basically acting a little nutty when in my private world thru practice and lifelong contemplation I'm actually pretty grounded and this sometimes oddball behavior surprises me. It's like I'm proving the narcissists correct.... not worthy of being taken seriously. I don't need to do this pleasing thing anymore. Update: I'm so grateful for this understanding. It's something profound. I no longer have a need or feel compelled to or be afraid of that behavior. There is power in recognition. It's all about self-respect.

He knows he's lying, but he creates the "you're late" scenario to make her feel bad and more anxious...yet "he forgives" to make himself look superior and oh so magnanimous.

    I watched the movie before listening to your comments. You were spot on about everything! Good movie but I wish it was a little longer so that it had time to give more detail and more of a sense of how this kind of brainwashing occurs little by little to pluck at the victim's self-esteem. I didn't feel like it did a good job of that. Although I liked the movie, I thought that it was something that only people fully versed in narc abuse could resonate with. I don't think that it really teaches those who are unaware of the abuse much about it unless they follow your step-by-step explanation.

    If you are dealing with a covert narcissist most people won't see it. Because they put on their image that they want the world to see around those that they are trying to impress. But you can't worry about how other people feel or whatever the case maybe. If you have to end the relationship. You simply end the relationship for your own joy, peace, and sanity. Being in a toxic relationship with someone like that can really destroy you mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in the end. It's NOT worth it.

I must have misunderstood. I bet it's delicious". DANG. Once you experienced this kind of abuse to the point you start to act out of character and driven suicidal. In a desperate attempt to understand what was wrong WITH ME i found about narcissism and realized the longest and most damaging narcissists in my life were my parents. For a long time I thought my mother was just evil. After studying my lesson now i can pick up narcs really fast even from text messages, many are dumb and they really just can do sth if the target is vulnerable. Others are extremely smart and i believe to be also high functioning sociopaths.

    yea in most situations of bringing up things that happened...therapist have told me to stay in the relationship or ignored what I said and accused me of being the narcissist. Too many times of being targeted due to my kind and easy going nature. 20 years of being in and out of relationships not knowing what I was dealing with only to be out of jobs and seen as a loser by friends and family. The manipulation, triangulation, minimizing things I say and smear campaigns destroy a person...words can hurt and destroy your whole reality of things going on that destroy a persons self worth, confidence and self esteem. This was done by women and men in relationships and jobs. Most therapists aren't qualified to handle C-PTSD or trauma because it changes your physiology. Had one employer literally take their hate out on me on a daily basis. If they are insulting you that is a way of them taking their anger out on you. Dr. Ramani, Lisa Romano and a few others are super helpful in bringing all the red flags to attention. Took me a few times to realize it in the workplace but after a period of time...I plan my escape or I walk out.

    I'd like to add some pointers/subtle cues that weren't mentioned in the video: 1. Invalidating her telling him that she had already informed him about her hanging out with her friend a week before and he seemed to have been okay with that back then and him acting like a victim and then continuing to deny her offer but then finally accepting it as if that was not his plan all along (emotional manipulation/blackmail at its finest-to get you to obey without being the bad guy- this happens way too much in relationship/frienships/family dynamics) 2.Being unempathetic about the fact that she had lost her project and calling it a shame(words are imp) and topping it up his great success and how happening his job situation is being invited to a celebrity party and expects her to just get over it and join him in his celebration without even taking a moment to listen or encourage her with kind words: 'Hey it's okay, you're capable, I'm sure you'd do better' is the least a healthy individual say to his/her companion. Instead telling her that she need not worry about her job anymore, as he's doing great, subtling demeaning and discouraging her. 3. Her not finding her phone and before an important meeting and her being anxious didn't not affect Mark at all. Instead of helping her or asking her to relax/ lower her anxiety(that's again a basic support a human being would give to a partner), he was completely ignoring her laying there acting like that's not my problem and him later explaning Oh see I knew you'd find it(that's why I didn't bother) 4. Him ignoring her and not picking up her calls when she clearly seemed not okay for past few days/weeks. 5. The truth is even if the last scene was still red-flaggish, had it been the reality, the scene still shows how he's again blaming her for consuming alcohol even. And it doesn't affect him when she says she got fired. Takeaway from the above: A person need not wait to diagnose that they're in a narcissistically abusive relationship in order to get out. It's important to understand that small toxic/abusive behaviours overtime can also cause serious emotional and psychological damage and cognitive dissonance. Everyone deserves to be in healthy loving dynamic that doesn't take away from you if not add. It's all about learning how to communicate and enforce healthy boundaries, setting consequence and acting on it if they're violated. Doesn't matter if you've been stepped over a couple times, the moment you see the truth, get out before it gets worse- yes that takes strength but when your entire self-worth, self esteem and mental health is at stake, you've got to try and be strong enough while being kind to yourself Also, It's not that simple to exercise in reality if you're anxious/people pleaser/codependent or simply vulnerable/sensitive and highly empathetic, but the more you do it, the easier it becomes. Understand your worth and accept nothing less than you deserve.❤️
