What is the theory behind this Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Worksheet?
Narcissistic abuse refers to abuse incurred in a relationship by a person with narcissistic tendencies. The effects of this sort of abuse can be long term and devastating for the victim. It may take years for the victim to even realise they have been manipulated and controlled and it takes just as much or more to recover from the ill after effects of surviving such a relationship.
How will the worksheet help?
The worksheet will help victims of narcissistic abuse who are seeking therapy to write down the boundaries they should have to maintain from now on to protect themselves from the abuser. It is especially helpful for people whose abusers are trying to contact them again or whose abusers are people they cannot avoid on a day to day basis.
How to use the worksheet?
This worksheet can be used as part of therapy for recovering victims of narcissistic abuse. After having a thorough discussion on the need and importance of maintaining personal boundaries, use this worksheet to help the individual set personal boundaries for themselves.
