Therapy for Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

Virtually Province Wide: Reclaiming Your Voice & Well-Being

Narcissistic abuse can be deeply confusing, emotionally draining, and damaging to self-worth. Whether from a parent, partner, friend, boss, or family member, this form of abuse often involves manipulation, gaslighting, control, and emotional neglect, leaving individuals questioning their reality, boundaries, and sense of self.

At Wellness Counselling Centre, we provide a compassionate, trauma-informed space to help individuals understand, process, and heal from narcissistic abuse. Therapy can support you in breaking free from unhealthy patterns, rebuilding self-trust, and reclaiming your confidence and autonomy.

Understanding Narcissistic Abuse

Narcissistic abuse is often subtle and insidious, making it difficult to recognize. Common signs include:

Gaslighting & Manipulation – Being made to question your reality, feelings, or memory
Emotional Neglect & Dismissal – Your needs, emotions, and experiences are minimized or ignored
Control & Domination – Constant criticism, blame-shifting, or using guilt and fear to maintain power
Chronic Boundary Violations – Your personal space, emotions, or decisions are repeatedly disrespected
Intermittent Reinforcement – Cycles of affection followed by emotional withdrawal or cruelty, keeping you emotionally entangled
Loss of Self-Worth – Feeling worthless, guilty, or dependent on the abuser for validation

Narcissistic abuse can erode self-trust, create confusion, and lead to anxiety, depression, or complex trauma (C-PTSD). Therapy helps you recognize these patterns, regain clarity, and rebuild emotional safety.

You struggle with setting or maintaining boundaries in relationships
