How to have boundaries with a narcissist
Manage episode 436050883 series 3491184
This is all an inside job.
The thing to hold in mind is that a boundary requires YOU to uphold and execute the consequences to, but does not mean that the other person has to adhere to them.
With a narcissist, having a boundary can feel like an impossible task because any boundary you express is also you admitting you are worthy of having your needs met, disrupting their pre-exiting concept of relational dynamics involving a heirarchy.
Your boundaries might be rejectected in the form of gaslighting or blackmail.
And so you do not negotiate the boundary.
You need to remain secure and self-assured in your own needs, prioritise these, and recognise that the rejection is a lesson you are learning about them.
Set yourself up for relationship success and get the best marriage advice. Whether you're surviving infidelity, solving relationship problems, improving your relationship, growing your self-worth and confidence amidst a trauma bond, here's the place to be.
Helping you to feel relationship empowered and set you up for relationship success.
