DOMINATE the Narcissist with These 3 Simple Mind Hacks
Take Your Power Back in 3 Easy Steps
Even if you find yourself at your wits end with a narcissist’s mayhem, these three steps will lead you to take your power back every time.
1. Self-Control
Narcissists thrive on making you the subject of their reactive abuse, but did you know that there’s a strategic reason why they seek to break you of your self-control first?
If you can control your responses, you’d avoid their traps and give them no supply.
To get back what they took from you and start responding instead of reacting again, you need to notice when the narcissist is trying to trigger a reaction from you.
When this happens, whatever your brain was on fire with that you wanted to spew all over them don’t, instead hold your peace and walk away.
The narcissist will probably heckle after you, but that’s normal for them.
What you’re doing is you’re building up your restraint after the narcissist destroyed it.
Once you’ve done this a few times, you’ll be able to think of something to reject them with instead of walking away, as I’ve discussed in other articles.
