Welcome back to Part 2 of the series on malignant narcissism. Today, we dive deeper into the relational impact and manipulation strategies commonly used by malignant narcissists, including:

TOPICS COVERED:

• Love bombing, gaslighting, discards, and other cycles
• How they adapt their masks depending on the person and situation
• Why their treatment of you (or anyone else) is not a reflection of your worth
• The role of “backup supplies” — partners, family members, or others kept in reserve
• Why no one is safe or exempt from their manipulation games

The goal of this episode is to help you step back, recognize the patterns for what they are, and begin to release the self-blame.

📌 If you missed Part 1, you may want to start there for the foundations.
