Ask Dr. Ramani: How To Go "No Contact" with a Narcissist

Navigating Narcissism with Dr. Ramani

NOTE

Preparation Eases Unwanted Encounters

Effective preparation can significantly reduce anxiety when anticipating encounters with challenging individuals, such as a narcissistic ex-partner. Techniques like breathing exercises and self-talk help center oneself and grant permission to step away from discomfort. Planning responses, even rehearsing dialogues in front of a mirror, enhances confidence. Having a supportive friend present can provide emotional security and lighten the experience during unavoidable meetings. In the absence of preparation, reactions may include panic and discomfort; thus, having exit strategies, such as retreating to a restroom or stepping outside, can offer relief. Utilizing calming techniques like breathing, cold water splash, or calling a friend can aid in regaining composure.
