Summary

Today's episode will be all about Reactive Abuse.  Reactive abuse occurs when the narcissist pokes and provokes you and causes you to react out of character. While you are there yelling, screaming and perhaps getting physical, the narcissist is calm, cool and collected. Reactive abuse is meant to cause you confusion and is a tool of control used by narcissists around the world.
