Why Is It So Hard To Remove A Narcissist From Our Life?

Most have no idea what is happening, until it’s too late, and the bond is created.

The quick answer…TRAUMA BOND

You may know this person is manipulative and abusive, but you can’t break free. It’s the chemical addiction.

You won’t be able to explain it to yourself, or others until you reach and study it. Once you do, you will understand the sick and twisted addiction to one of these toxic people.

And each time you chase or let them back in your life, it strengthens a already vicious bond.

There’s also the Cognitive Dissonance.

This is where you are in limbo questioning the times they appear to care, or show affection. But they can also flip very quickly. So, the constant flip flopping of “they’re good their bad.” It is mentally and psychologically exhausting.

And trauma bond will never be broken until you label the behavior and get out of the Cognitive Dissonance phase.

This is the one time I agree with labels. Their behavior must be “labeled” for the mind to accept the abuse that is happening. Label it what you like, just know it’s abusive!

The conditioning they do, is unreal. It’s almost like they brainwash us to chase and accept the abuse while wearing blinders.
