Eventually everyone will be on the receiving end of narcissistic rage. For those who are married to narcissists or work for them, their exposure is much greater, The level of narcissistic rage is bottomless, volcanic and primitive. There are several ways to deal with narcissistic rage. Learn to be calm by developing a practice of stillness such as meditation. Consistent practice will create a sense of separateness and strength in the individual, change the way you perceive yourself and those around you. Learn to not overreact to the narcissists's rage. That is what he/she wants you to do. The art of not reacting to the rage contagion is powerful. Many spouses asnd partners of narcissists must learn to lead their own lives and develop their potential despite the narcissist. You are entitled to use your full creative potential, free to express your thoughts and emotions, to be treated with respect, have a sense of deep inner peace and islands of solitude where you can go to be inspired and renewed.

This site has been extremely helpful to me, as I am recovering from having dealt with a high-level narcissist in a romantic relationship. The relationship ended quite some time ago, and yet I had many questions and was confused about what the heck was wrong with this person. I thought that I had encountered someone that was just plain evil and hated that there was no real explanation for the way I was attacked and wounded by this person...until now. Thank you for shedding light- I wish I had known there was a label for people like this: NPD. My ex fits about 95% of the NPD profile. I especially like the fact that you are providing suggestions for how to effectively MOVE FORWARD during the aftermath. I love this quote from today's message: Developing and nurturing your strengths and every facet of yourself will prepare you for the formal severance of this relationship. Take stock of your life, both day-to-day and with a long lens. You are entitled to use your full creative potential, free to express your thoughts and emotions, to be treated with respect, have a sense of deep inner peace and islands of solitude where you can go to be inspired and renewed. THANK YOU FOR THE GUIDANCE. A WEIGHT HAS BEEN LIFTED. AN EXPLANATION HAS FINALLY COME FORTH AND I AM GRATEFUL THAT I CAN FULLY HEAL WITHOUT THIS PERSON NEEDING TO BE INVOLVED IN MY OWN HEALING PROCESS. Boy oh boy is knowledge power!

i just learned my bff has narcissistic personality disorder (she meets 8 of the 9 DSM criteria), by doing my own online research to try to determine how to heal myself from the severe brain-f---ing she left me with from enduring: (1) numerous episodes of narcissitic rage (as the displaced whipping dog in her sphere of things); and (2) numerous stonewalling episodes, because she is just unable to admit she is ever wrong, because she thinks she is so perfect and above everyone else, and also, because she is trying to punish & get revenge for me actually telling her finally she should be ashamed of herself by her behaviors (before I realized she had this personality disorder and it was exactly the wrong thing to say to her). i feel this 'friendship' has aged me by 10 years. her sister is also a good friend, but as she is beholding to her sister financially, can only enable her and is therefore no help to dealing w/ her. i still care very much for both of these ladies. i only wish i'd known abt this disorder sooner, as it would have enabled me to not take things personally and known how to properly react in response to the behaviors. i know she was unaware, until i told her via emails a few days ago, that she has this disorder. but she is so obstinent abt devaluing me & treating me with utter disdain (because I shamed her by finally getting angry at her numerous episodes & saying she should be ashamed) & her ego just can't take it, she may only be just deleting my emails upon receipt without reading the same. i work for attorneys and so i can see that all the literature i read is directly 'on point' abt her having this disorder. it all fits exactly to what's been happening.
