What's a Narcissistic Abuse Cycle?
The more times you experience the narcissistic abuse cycle - the highs (love bombing), and the lows (devaluing and discarding) - the more you reinforce your attachment to the narcissist. Spotting this pattern is key to understanding you're in a toxic relationship.
Ideally, boundaries are communicated kindly & assertively. Focus on sharing how you feel & what you need in a respectful way, even if feeling anger & spite. While these are valid feelings, they are not always the most helpful when communicating boundaries. When you find yourself struggling to communicate your boundaries, remind yourself that doing so will support efforts to build and maintain the relationships that are important to you #fmf #boundaries #relationship
