Is My Partner A Narcissist? | The 5 Stages of Narcissistic Abuse with Abuse Expert Dr. Tamara Knott

Is my partner a narcissist? That is a question that Dr. Tamara Knott seeks to answer through her groundbreaking research on the five stages of narcissistic abuse.
Dr. Tamara Knott has done extensive research on the stages of relationships with narcissistic partners. She identifies five stages: the foundations of the relationship, where partners experience some life transition; the stage below the surface, where one gets a peek at the narcissist's manipulative behaviors; the roller coaster stage, characterized by intense ups and downs; the recovery and leaving stage, where people start the recovery process before leaving the relationship; and the hindsight stage, where people look back on the relationship with clarity.
We also take a look at the innate skills that narcissists possess and their ability to lure in and manipulate prey for long-term benefits. The conversation also touches on the origins of narcissistic behavior, suggesting it is a combination of nature and nurture.
Dr. Knott emphasizes the importance of education and empowerment for those affected by narcissistic abuse. She offers counseling services through her website, www.adventurecounseling.com, and provides online counseling for those around the world.
