L'Erin's Instagram Post:
“The cycle of narcissistic abuse —
1. Love bomb
2. Devalue
3. Discard
4. Hoover (like a vacuum)
5. Wash, rinse, repeat
Narcs don’t like the abuse cycle disrupted or interrupted by anyone other than themselves. They need to have control and power at all times.
When YOU leave, they do not go away quietly. They are not sane or rational losers. Narcissistic rage, smear campaigns, gaslighting, blame shifting and flying monkeys are guaranteed to ensue.
We as a nation have been under direct narcissistic abuse from 45. Instead of obsessing or focusing on what he’s doing now, focus on YOUR OWN HEALING + RECOVERY.
Heal your central nervous system.
Rest and restore.
Unplug from the news cycle + socials.
STOP discussing him.
Focus on YOUR wellbeing.
The last 4 years have been a global concentration of narcissistic abuse. Time to heal + take your mind back.”
