Seek Help From Professional Therapist
The best way for victims of narcissistic abuse or manipulation to cope with these situations is by seeking help from a professional therapist. A qualified therapist will be able to provide you with the tools and resources necessary for dealing with these types of situations effectively, as well as providing support during your recovery process. This type of therapy is often called “cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT).” It teaches people how their thoughts affect their actions, which in turn affects their emotions.
Talk To Friends and Family
Friends and family can also be a great support system for victims of narcissistic manipulation. They can provide emotional support, as well as practical help such as food, shelter, or transportation.

Keep Journal
Another way to deal with narcissistic manipulation is by keeping a journal.

This can be helpful in terms of understanding what has been happening in your relationship, as well as providing evidence should you decide to pursue legal action.
Get Support From Support Group
Another option for getting support is by joining a support group specifically for victims of narcissistic manipulation or abuse. This can be an excellent way to connect with others who are going through the same thing, as well as learn new ways to deal with the situation.
Take Care of Yourself
It’s important for victims of narcissistic manipulation to take care of themselves both physically and emotionally. This means eating healthy foods, getting enough sleep, and taking time for yourself to relax and de-stress. It’s also important to avoid any situations that might trigger your stress levels or cause you emotional distress. It’s important to remember that the narcissist may try to use your emotional state against you, so it’s vital for victims of narcissistic abuse or manipulation not only to take care of their bodies but also to keep track of how they feel emotionally.
Try To Avoid Contact With Narcissist
The best way for victims to avoid contact with narcissists is by staying away from them. If you are in a relationship where there has been abuse or manipulation, then it’s important for you not only to stay away from that person but also any other people who might have had contact with them. This includes friends and family members of theirs as well as colleagues at work or school.
Limit Your Social Media Use
Limiting your social media use can help prevent narcissistic manipulation because this means less opportunity for interacting with others online. You should limit access to sites like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and WhatsApp so that they don’t get too much information about what’s going on in your life. This also makes it harder for them to communicate with you through these platforms or even see what’s been posted about their activities online.
Take Control of Your Finances
If the narcissist has access to any of your bank accounts, credit cards, debit cards, or other financial resources then take control of them as soon as possible by changing passwords and PIN numbers on all accounts that could potentially be accessed by this person without permission from yourself first. This may mean closing down accounts altogether if necessary.
Helping Someone With Narcissistic Manipulation
There are many ways you can help someone with narcissistic manipulation. The first step is to understand what they’re going through so that you don’t end up doing more harm than good when trying to assist them in getting help for themselves or their children if there have been any incidents involving child abuse at all.
Be Good Listener
One of the best things we can do as humans are to listen without judgmental opinions. This is without others say – even if it sounds like something totally irrational! When listening carefully, try not to interrupt too often (unless absolutely necessary). This will show empathy and make people feel supported by us rather than criticized or judged unfairly based on our personal beliefs or experiences. Be sure to always remember: no matter what happens, stay calm and patient throughout the conversation.
Encourage Them To Make Changes
When someone is dealing with narcissistic manipulation or abuse, it’s often difficult for them to make changes in their life. One way we can help facilitate this process is by encouraging our loved ones on their journey towards healing from past experiences that have caused pain and trauma for so long now without any kind of intervention or support system available before now – which means helping those who need us most when they’re at their lowest point!
Avoid Blaming Victim For Their Condition
It’s easy to blame victims of narcissistic abuse. This is because they are usually not able to see how manipulative these people truly are. This is until after many years have passed since first being subjected to such control over their lives. If you’re trying to help someone who has been abused by a narcissist, then it’s important not only that you don’t blame them but also make sure they understand what happened. This is so there aren’t any lingering doubts about whether or not this type of manipulation occurred before now. This could lead back into denial.
Give Them Space To Heal
It is common for victims of narcissistic abuse or manipulation to feel like they need space. Give them time away from other people and activities. These activities might trigger memories related to these traumatic events if possible. However, remember sometimes taking too much time off work can cause financial consequences. This may ultimately hurt them more than benefit them in the long run.
Encourage Them to Seek Professional Help
If someone is dealing with narcissistic abuse or manipulation, then it’s important that they see a professional counselor. They can help them cope with the trauma. This is by providing coping mechanisms for when these triggers occur again in future relationships down the road of life.
Conclusion
Sometimes the best thing we can do for someone who is struggling with narcissistic manipulation or abuse is to provide them with the tools they need to get help and start healing from these traumatic experiences. With time, patience, and support – victims of narcissistic abuse can often move on from these negative events and live fuller lives without this person’s destructive influence in their life anymore.
If you have been a victim of narcissistic manipulation, please know that you are not alone. There are people who care about you and want to help – reach out for support if necessary! It’s never too late to start healing.
