The NPD Cycle of Abuse

The narcissistic cycle of abuse. It’s their pathology.

This is the standard flow of the cycle. However, steps can be repeated depending on how it may serve the abuser.

• Idealization… Love bombing

• Devaluation… The mask begins to crack

• Discard… Thrown out like yesterday’s trash

• Hoover… When your NPD Ex (spouse, relationship, family, etc.) comes back, please choose yourself.
