00:00Emotional interrogation common in narcissistic relationships is a form of course of control
00:04that can go on for hours and actually impacts your brain. So even after the relationship ends,
00:10you still doubt yourself and are vulnerable to going back. It looks like this. They accuse you
00:16of something you didn't do and initially you defend yourself, but that's actually a part of
00:20the distraction because they're not trying to understand or resolve it. They're trying to
00:25exhaust you. So they repeat a false accusation or it could be an attack on your character
00:30over and over and over until you give in. Relentless questioning, accusation loops,
00:37emotional pressure for hours, especially after closeness or intimacy, just when you felt safe,
00:43shifts your brain into survival and shuts down reasoning. So you're less able to think clearly
00:48and more focused on ending the discomfort because your brain starts prioritizing. How do I make this
00:54stop instead of what is actually true? You leave confused, apologizing and unsure of why. Your own
01:02memory becomes distorted. If you know this confusion, you will not find clarity with them. They will never
01:08validate your reality. In fact, interacting with them, even just briefly, can activate your survival
01:13strategies that make you more compliant, even if that's not what you want.
