DR. RAMANI’S NARCISSISTIC TRUTH BOMBS: "Victims of narcissistic abuse often gaslight themselves, ignoring red flags." "The narcissistic person has to be in the power position and the other person has to be diminished." "Stealing someone's sense of self to me, that's a betrayal." "They're not conscious of all of these processes, but they do know what they're doing is often wrong." "They use the threat of abandonment...especially if abandonment is your thing." "Silent treatment is the ultimate form of domination." "In a narcissistic relationship, these things pile up, hundreds and thousands of them. It almost becomes your new normal."
