MODULE 1
THE TRAITS OF NARCISSISM – THE HIDDEN MASK
This module provides an overview of narcissism, including its definition as a personality disorder characterized by a grandiose sense of self-importance, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. The module explains that narcissism can be a learned behavior, and discusses the diagnostic criteria for narcissistic personality disorder. The module also explores the possible causes of narcissistic personality disorder, including genetic, environmental, and neurobiological factors. The module further dives into the various ways in which narcissistic behavior can manifest, including manipulation, bullying, and a constant need for admiration. The module covers a series of questions for individuals to ask themselves if they suspect they may be in a narcissistic relationship, and suggests the best way to overcome the effects of narcissistic abuse is to know oneself inside and out.
In this module, we will cover:
- Narcissism is a personality disorder characterized by a grandiose sense of self-importance, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others.
- Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is defined by the DSM-5 as a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, need for admiration, and lack of empathy.
- To be diagnosed with NPD, a person must meet specific criteria, including a grandiose sense of self-importance, preoccupation with fantasies of success, belief in their own special abilities, a sense of entitlement, interpersonal exploitation, lack of empathy, envy of others, and arrogance.
- Narcissism can be a learned behavior from childhood experiences and generational programming, in addition to a combination of genetic, environmental, and developmental factors.
- Research has suggested that people with NPD may have impaired functioning in the prefrontal cortex, imbalances in certain brain chemicals, such as dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin, and may have brain structure differences.
- Narcissists are not limited to romantic partners and can include parents, family members, adult children, bosses, coworkers, friends and acquaintances, neighbors, community leaders, and co-parents.
- Narcissists manipulate and exploit others for personal gain, have a sense of superiority, lack empathy, behave arrogantly, expect special treatment, and are in constant fear of failure or losing.
- Narcissists have extreme shame, and their self-esteem remains stuck in their core shame.
- Manipulators have an impaired conscience, are unable to see beyond their own self-interest, and are aggressive in pushing their own agenda forward without regard for other people’s feelings, rights, or interests.
- There are two types of manipulators: overt and covert.
- Victims of manipulators often believe that aggressive behaviors are due to the manipulator’s own problems or suffering.
- It is essential to know yourself inside and out to beat the manipulator.
- Questions to ask if you are in a narcissistic relationship

OVERCOMING GASLIGHTING
Gaslighting is a type of emotional abuse that manipulates a person’s sense of reality and leads them to doubt their own perceptions, memories, and sanity. It can cause a loss of self-confidence, anxiety and depression, difficulty trusting others, physical symptoms, and isolation. If you or someone you know is experiencing gaslighting, seeking support, setting boundaries, documenting the abuse, and seeking professional help can be helpful. The first step in overcoming gaslighting is recognizing the signs of the abuse, such as questioning your memory, denying your feelings, blaming you for their behavior, and isolating you from friends and family. Trusting your instincts, keeping a record, setting boundaries, and taking action are crucial steps to regain control over your life.
In this module, we will cover:
- Gaslighting is a form of emotional abuse where a person manipulates another person’s sense of reality, causing confusion, anxiety, and a loss of trust in oneself.

MODULE 4
STAGES OF HEALING FROM NARCISSIST ABUSE
The stages of healing from narcissistic abuse include feeling sorry for the abuser due to reasons such as trauma bonding, empathy and compassion, guilt and shame, and manipulation and gaslighting. When a victim starts to change and grow, it can lead to shifts in power dynamics, changes in communication styles, new interests and hobbies, changes in values and beliefs, and improved self-care and boundaries in the relationship. Leaving an abusive relationship hurts because the victim becomes dependent on the abuser to make them feel good about themselves, and they may struggle with denial, guilt, and bargaining. To heal, the victim needs to rediscover themselves and their boundaries, relearn their values, and find support and professional help.
In this module, we will cover:
- Overcome feeling sorry for the abuser may occur due to trauma bonding, empathy, guilt and shame, and manipulation and gaslighting.
- Change in the relationship dynamics can occur when one partner undergoes personal growth, including shifts in power dynamics, communication styles, new interests and hobbies, changes in values and beliefs, and improved self-care and boundaries.
- Leaving an abusive relationship hurts because of the emotional dependence on the abuser and their ability to make the victim feel good about themselves and how to shift this.
- Believing empty promises to change and needing closure may also contribute to the pain of leaving.
- Rediscovering oneself involves relearning boundaries, values, and identity that were lost in the process of adjusting to the abuser.
