We often think of narcissists as brimming with confidence, obsessed with themselves, and utterly immune to insecurity.But here’s the truth: beneath that carefully constructed mask lies a deep well of shame. And when that shame gets triggered, they’ll do almost anything to avoid feeling it — including blaming, projecting, and gaslighting you. Lynn Catalano explores why and what you can do.

If you’ve ever felt like your words of praise disappear into a bottomless pit when dealing with a narcissist, you’re not imagining it. Complimenting a narcissist can feel like pouring water into a bucket with no bottom — it’s exhausting, unsustainable, and emotionally depleting. Lynn Catalano, narcissistic abuse expert, leads you to ways you can protect your peace.

If you’ve been in toxic or narcissistic relationships—romantic, family, workplace—it’s likely your nervous system was trained to feel familiarity where there should have been safety. If you find comfort in their chaos, it's time to break these patterns.

The reality of narcissistic abuse is that it's designed to make you question your own perceptions, emotions, and memories.

Today, I want to validate what you already know deep down: your reactions are normal, your feelings are valid, and your experiences are real.
