This video serves as a companion to my previous video, “9 Questions a Narcissist Can’t Answer—and What They Reveal About Them.”

How do you respond to a narcissist without getting pulled into confusion, arguments, or self-doubt?

In this video, I explain how to respond to narcissistic behaviour by understanding common patterns like defensiveness, silence, blame-shifting, boundary violations, and narrative control.

This video is especially relevant if you grew up with childhood trauma or emotional neglect and now find yourself over-explaining, second-guessing, or giving too much leeway in relationships with people who show narcissistic traits.

Rather than focusing on confrontation, this trauma-informed approach focuses on:
❖ responding instead of reacting
❖ protecting emotional boundaries
❖ trusting your perception
❖ reducing emotional triggers
❖ breaking unhealthy relationship patterns

If you’re healing from narcissistic abuse or learning how to set boundaries with difficult people, this video offers clarity, support, and practical guidance.

Please let me know in the comments what you think of these ways of responding or what has worked for you in the past. I read every comment. Or leave me a smiley face emoji because today has all been about regain your power and centre.
