What if the type of narcissist you faced changes EVERYTHING about how you heal?
Let me ask you this: What’s the hardest type of narcissistic person to heal from?
I’ll be tackling this crucial question in my live, virtual workshop on July 1, 2025, at 9am PT / 12pm ET – exclusively for members of my Healing Program.
Join here:
Don’t wait: the price for the program is going up on July 15 – lock in the current rate now at $24.99/month or $240/year. Once the price increases, it will never be this low again.
Thank you Dr Ramani for all that you do ❤
My mum, dad and sister were all narcissists. The damage was huge and lifelong for me
I can understand
Same story 💀
Grandiose and malignant you can run from, covert narcs you need to heal from. Just my 2 cents.
Malignant? Are you sure?
Easier said than done.
Not malignant. Those people are violent.
@@ceterisparibus8966as sure as you are.
@@Doso777for sure!
My mom, dad, stepfather and sisters are narcs. Then a lifetime, 62 years worth, of narc relationships , personal and professional so probably the rest of what life i have left attempting to heal from all of it. 😢
I get it glad we found Dr. Ramani when we did
I say covert, because they cause a lot of cognitive dissonance.
Having CPTSD from being life long abuse by my malignant narcissistic mother, I’d say the MN mother over a son from the day your unwanted birth till the day they die is the hardest to heal from. At 62, im still dealing with recovery
Have faith that you will get stronger each day keep on the path with your sanity intact- nothing is more peaceful
I’m still healing. It will be two years in September since the divorce. I appreciate my therapist.
OMG, I feel like I’m stuck in a clown car full of different narcissists sometimes! I can almost hear the looney tunes. Thank you so much for all that you do to help people sort this confusing dynamic out.
I’m feeling you loud and clear as I sit here alone with my cat in peace And emotional quiet
I’m trying to heal from a covert malignant narcissist. It’s very difficult.
I hate it when people say time, but that’s what it takes that and listening to Dr. Ramani and others
I agree. It takes much more than time. It takes educating ourselves with podcasts such as Dr. Ramani’s podcasts, looking inward about ourselves with how to be a better version of ourselves in the healing process, having special friends to help us navigate our healing journey and for therapy to help us heal from the messages we were hit with. @LPoppy2023
The type is one thing, but it is also the narcissist’s role in our life. The emotional abuse from the parents it will be harder to heal from than if it comes from our boss. (Even if the parents have a less severe form).
All types do damage. For who I am the female coverts caused the most damage. Will I recover? I think not. I’m seeing a very different environment than I used to. The narcissists consciousness is a completely different animal than I am. I was prey and now know it. This is the realistic environment that we as humans find ourselves in. I definitely fell for narcissist lies. I have my personal spiritual goals. Understanding the narcissists traps and manipulations is essential for my moving forward.
You capsized your experience so well, thank you. I can resonate with it.
Healing from my vulnerable malignant narcissist ex husband, and I can’t wait for this!
The grandiose one who uses “socially acceptable” tactics like using “love” and “family” as a “weapon”- it’s very difficult to spot this type of gaslighting and manipulation, all the while, the people who listen to them and rally around them think you’re the crazy one.
Thank you for this comment. For the life of me I couldn’t reason with myself why I keep trying to get out of my marriage with my abusive narcissist husband when he keeps telling my he is trying to get back for the sake of our family. Deep down I would always guilt myself because family had always been so important to me and couldn’t understand why I was willing to give that up to protect our child and me. Bad mental programming. Then, I read your comment here and understood it is just a tactic to weaponise what i wanted the most against me to justify abuse. Thank you. ❤ You don’t realise how your simple comment was a lightbulb moment for me CPTSD brain.
I agree I experienced this in the worse way it was hell
I am
Literally here in this right now
Thank you Dr Ramani
I don’t know healing from the covert is very hard. They seem harder to spot and harder to accept that their act was just a phoney act
I’m going back to your program. Thank you, Dr. Ramani ❤❤❤
I have a sibling who showed all the types all the time. The malignant was mostly for me. She was incredibly difficult as a young child. I ended up having no choice but to absorb and manage her for many years.
That’s my father. I got lucky in finding a partner who supports my healing journey.
My father was a beautiful triad of all kinds.
To anyone who’s suffering depression, anxiety, insomnia and other mental health problems, you are not alone. I feel you. You are so brave. You are doing so well. I’m proud of you. I’m sending you a virtual hug ❤ what helped me get out of that dark spiral was journaling and mindfulness from Shift Your Mind by Alexander Brooks. The anxiety that used to control my whole day barely shows up now!🙏❤
Narcissists never give you anything that they don’t take back with usurious interest.
Closure is a slow but rewarding journey that you go on by yourself. It is the journey back to yourself.
I recall how utterly broken in mind, body and spirit that I was after I left the narcissist. I was a fragment of my former self, a trembling shell, a ghost. I had a distant memory of who I’d been, and I held that wisp lovingly in my hands. This is what you have left when all your hope for a life with a narcissist has died. You have a memory of who you were, and you start with that.
Coming out of a narcissistic relationship is like trying to uncrush yourself after being crushed beneath a giant’s foot. Have you ever watched an ant that’s been stepped on writhing around trying to untangle its limbs? It struggles in a little tangled-up ball on its back, gradually freeing its limbs, and then righting itself, and hobbling along on its way. When you are a crushed-up little ball on your back, it is hard to imagine you can get out of this fix without some help. Maybe from the giant who stepped on you. But just like the ant, you can.
With narcissistic abuse, which takes your mind, body and spirit and ties it in knots, you have to reverse the process like you do when you are working knots out of a ball of string. You pick out the knots one by one. You do that by reading about narcissistic abuse, and writing your experience. As you describe how the knots were created, you reverse them. As your sentient system begins to stretch out again, you begin to breathe again, and breath is life.
Alongside this process of reversing the damage to your being, it is helpful to practice gratitude, and to practice feeling love. The earth and the air and the sky are filled with love, and it is yours for the taking. Take part in it, and praise God or Mother Earth or the Universe for the beauty and the love that you are able to feel again, after your long, loveless sojourn in Hell.
Closure after abuse by a narcissist is a slow process. I have been through it twice, and each time it took 3 years. Believe that you can be well again. When you get to the other side of this devastating experience, and you look back at where you were, you won’t believe what you have overcome. A human being is an amazing, resilient thing. Additionally, I hired a private detective MetaspyHub@gmail. com. Once I knew what the narc was up to, it got easier to get over that lying, cheating, sack of doo doo, loser. I didn’t need closure from the narc, I paid for it. Best money I EVER spent!
