I go into why narcissists use the silent treatment and how to respond to it. In my opinion, when dealing with a narcissist, the best solution is to go no contact and protect your energy.

From experience, I know how challenging it is to deal with narcissists and their manipulative behaviour. I would like to add here that going no contact is not the same as the silent treatment, as it has no abusive purpose but rather is the best way to save and protect yourself. It’s essential to learn to protect yourself and your energy.

I hope this video can be helpful to you in some way. I wish you strength and more kindness in the future.

About @dealwithnarcissist: I created this channel to offer a form of help for those experiencing narcissistic abuse. I decided to use my experience in order to help others and hope this channel and my site can provide quality insight in order to recognize, understand and deal with narcissists. I do this based on my experience/research and this website thus doesn’t provide professional help. I’d like to emphasize that it’s important to seek professional help and support if required.
