STOP telling people to manifest their way out of narcissistic abuse

Are we really still pushing this manifesting nonsense? The idea that you “attract” everything in your life might sound nice when things are going well, but what about when they aren’t? This toxic positivity blames people for their pain, especially survivors of narcissistic abuse, turning real harm into some twisted spiritual lesson. Let’s talk about why this mindset is not just wrong—it’s dangerous.

    Yes! Thank you!!!! This is so true and just goes to show how people who have never experienced narcissistic people up close and personally do NOT understand it. At all. Great video topic!

    • @user-ef5ej8ms5v says:

      True people who are in normal relationships never get it and suggest me to reconcile
      Seriously people are ignorant about narcissist abuse

  • @p.w.352 says:

    Since listening to Dr. Ramani, Whenever family members imply that we need to excuse the bad behavior of narcissists in the family (some even deny there was abuse), I’ve started telling them that it’s not my job to be responsible for regulating other people’s emotions, and that their behavior is their personal choice and not excusable to me.

    Thank you!!! ❤

  • @JLTravels says:

    💯 agree, my “mindfulness / spiritual” friends blamed me for toxic relationships that I was born into: Parents & siblings! Went NO contact with them all!

    • @ericb8413 says:

      People can be so shallow and ignorant. How are you supposed to control who your parents are. Glad you saw through their stupidity.

    • @Sufferingsassafrass says:

      Bravo! ❤I had similar: parents and a brother. No contact is self-preservation for me.

  • @Musicandfilms7 says:

    Thank you for addressing this issue. I’m sick and tired of listening to celebrities or influencers saying that you atract everything that is in your life. They’re just lucky people, some of them nepo babies and they’re not helping anyone with this law of atraction nonsense. I didn’t atracted two narcissitic parents I was born to them.

    • @ildikoesztergalyos7306 says:

      I fully agree with u in this,however adding: on our reaction and on our boundary we can and should work. Even IF a healthy,self confident person “would attract” a toxic one,would say goodbye at the first gaslighting,rudeness or sign of agression. But codependents, way too emphats, naives or people who lack of self-confidence and boundaries – they won’t say goodbye but stay for long time,hoping for the best. (Ps: also I’m “blessed” with two horribly emotionally abusive parent, but in the past years I’ve learned a lot – thanks to Dr Ramani 🙏- how to keep my peace and not to take the bait. THIS we can and should learn, even “if we would attract” a toxic person in our life to recognize early and kick them out from our lives as soon as possible – without questioning ourselves)

      Prosperity gospel & it’s false!

  • @manasashridhar8093 says:

    People say until you haven’t healed your trauma you’ll always attract the same kind of people in your life but honestly can we acknowledge the fact that there are just a lot of narcissistic people out there ?? No one wants to acknowledge the actual problem!!

  • @carolynspence6358 says:

    The worst part of being in a narcissistic relationship is that they use our positive personality traits against us (compassion, love, sacrifice, empathy, dedicated, forgiving, intelligence, etc.). So I had to learn how to go against my own personality (and beome “selfish” in my own eyes) in order to walk away. Truly painful but it was the best decision.

  • @costelloandlizzievolk2233 says:

    I can’t stand the ‘manifesting and attracting’ crap. Totally a way to victim blame. Tired of defending myself and explaining this to know it all condescending people who don’t get it. Thank you Dr Ramani ❤

    • @alrinaleroux9229 says:

      It’s really strange that the trend for thinking about life in a “manifesting and attracting” way has gone on for such a long time. I think the forces of evil can reward it in the beginning stages (similar to them orchestrating “beginner’s luck” for gamblers), but over the long term it should become clear that it’s “not working” anymore, that it was never a workable concept to begin with — that it’s delusional wishful thinking.

  • @meganlovesresearch5944 says:

    I’m so glad you said the words “two to tango.” One of the most horrible behaviors my parents in law says to my husband after he has been severely verbally abusive for sometimes hours straight without me even talking is, “Well, it takes two to argue.” I hear his mom say this phrase to him nonstop on speakerphone to him after he says that “we aren’t getting along.” It’s like she helps make him believe this. This entire video describes my life. My daughter who has already moved out of the house, has been telling me to get a divorce for years. I don’t know how because I have epilepsy, I can’t drive and it’s been really hard trying to find an online job, my parents are dead, I’m the only child, and I don’t have 5,000.00 for an attorney. I used to be the funniest girl in the room. My confidence has turned me into an introvert that isn’t even allowed to be funny or sarcastic without getting yelled at by him. It’s like he doesn’t even understand comedy or something. It’s as though it’s a tearing me down technique to help be become less confident giving me social anxiety that I never had. It’s like I have to stay quiet all of the time because everything is about him or what “should have happened” when any minor mistake has happened.
    But those words “It takes two to argue” when I’m sitting there quiet for hours getting yelled at about something that happened five hours ago, makes me sick.

  • @moniquejackson7741 says:

    Wow, so brilliant. This is not about Meaningful Coincidences, and we’ve all had them. In your latest book, Dr. Ramani, you mentioned how the book came about through otherworldly coincidences; but these are always random and can’t be controlled. As you so well described, this weaponizing of the idea of Attraction to guilt, blame, and shame is abusive. If it were true, that would mean that someone attracted Hitler, 911, or the 10-year-old who is raped in her own bed. Sometimes it’s just abusive people taking advantage of and preying on the unsuspecting. You didn’t “attract” the narcissist, and you can’t manifest them into an empathic and aware individual.

  • @Myopia2047 says:

    Thank you for highlighting this fallacy of manifesting the current situation or relationships. No amount of manifesting will set you free from the toxicity

  • @wakeupordie says:

    This victim blaming and shaming crap really needs to stop. Sick of it.

  • @aaloha2902 says:

    💯 🙌🏼 There’s a lot of spiritual narcissism out there, claiming abuse during childhood is also ‘manifested’. Understanding the Narcissistic/Empath dynamics and the patterns of being raised by a Narc parent is one thing, but it doesn’t mean it’s your ‘fault’. Thank you Dr. for this post 🙏🏼🌺

    • @Michelehoffman-q7c says:

      How about the Dolores Canonites who think you planned the abuse for the evolvement of your soul before coming to the “prison planet?” I can’t with these Karens.

  • @autistictomatoes says:

    Thank You Dr. Ramani. Words are not enough to express just how much hearing someone speaking about this frees me to do the same. I am not at fault for the situation I am currently in, Its entirely due to the narcissist – their behaviors, their manipulations, and their actions are on them, not me.

  • @cecebackporch619 says:

    I tried to manifest my way out for years. Finally I realized I just have to leave.

  • @gilliandale4854 says:

    Thank you, as ever, for your sound explanations.

  • @neptunelove8534 says:

    Incredible Dr. Thankyou, awareness yes more so the attention really needs to be on the narrississis for manifesting turmoil. The person being abused is blamed for everything. Really I never came here for evil people to treat me like garbage. I came here for so much more like love and kindness.

  • @nevariTara says:

    THIS!!!! my ex actually used my my belief to his advantage.

  • @Tarotlynx says:

    Thank you, Dr. Ramani. Even if attraction worked, what is won by magic will be lost by magic. The notion that people can manifest disease and misfortune to themselves is quite dangerous.

    thank you for your statement on manifesting… ist so esoteric
