Many survivors of narcissistic abuse get frustrated with the policy of going no contact because it is not always possible, especially in cases where the narcissist you are dealing with is your co-parent, a parent you cannot let go of, your boss, a colleague, a friend, or someone else you cannot completely cut off.
So, how do you deal with such a situation?
The truth is, you have to deal with them in one way or another.
● What is the best strategy to minimize abuse, protect yourself, and shut them down
● Let’s get started with understanding and unravelling this strict strategy.
● The strict strategy stands for setting unshakable, unbreakable, and extreme boundaries.

● Narcissists see boundaries as a challenge, something they have to break one way or another because it’s all about an ego battle for them.
● There is no cooperation or mutual understanding.
●There is no respect for you at all. It’s all about winning; it’s a war for them.
● When you try to set boundaries or say, “I don’t want this,” or “I don’t want that,” they won’t care. They will target the point where it hurts the most. So, you have to set extreme boundaries.
● What does that look like? You have to be clear, extremely clear. You have to dig in the line, not just draw it.
