Loss of Self and Self-Worth

Many survivors of narcissistic abuse report a loss of self and self-worth. They describe feeling like they have lost themselves and no longer recognize the strong individuals they once were. This loss is often accompanied by a sense of helplessness and difficulty making decisions. Survivors may also experience a loss of pride and dignity, feeling like they have been stripped of their sense of self-worth. These feelings can be intensified by the brainwashing and manipulation tactics used by the abuser, leading to a profound impact on the survivor's self-perception and decision-making abilities.
