Narcissistic Personality Disorder in men is characterised by an inflated sense of self-importance, a constant need for admiration, and a lack of empathy, often masking deep insecurity and fragile self-esteem. It commonly presents through control, entitlement, manipulation, and difficulty maintaining balanced relationships. Social and cultural pressures that equate masculinity with dominance and success can reinforce these traits, leading men to express narcissism through power, status, and emotional detachment. Beneath the confidence, however, lies vulnerability, shame, and fear of inadequacy. Relationships with narcissistic men are often marked by cycles of idealisation and devaluation, leaving partners feeling confused, criticised, and emotionally drained. While change is possible through long-term therapy that fosters self-awareness and empathy, progress is slow, and partners often need strong boundaries and support to protect their emotional wellbeing.

Narcissistic abuse in marriage is a deeply damaging yet often misunderstood form of psychological trauma. It erodes self-worth, distorts reality, and creates cycles of emotional dependency that can take years to heal. This new clinical article explores how narcissistic abuse operates, its long-term impact on mental health, and the evidence-based therapeutic approaches that support recovery and post-traumatic growth. Understanding these dynamics is the first step toward reclaiming autonomy, identity, and emotional safety.

At the London Psychologist Centre, we offer systemic therapy to help families, couples, and groups understand the patterns that keep them stuck. Rather than focusing only on one individual, systemic therapy explores the wider dynamics — how communication, roles, and relationships influence one another. This approach creates space for healthier dialogue, deeper empathy, and practical solutions that improve the whole system, whether that is a family unit, a couple, or other important relationships.

Shifting blame in a relationship happens when one partner refuses responsibility and makes the other feel at fault. Over time, this erodes trust and self-esteem, leaving the other person confused, guilty, and silenced. At the London Psychologist Centre, we help survivors of this abuse rebuild confidence, recognise unhealthy patterns, and move towards healthier, more balanced relationships

Coercive control is a pattern of manipulation and intimidation that traps someone in fear and dependence. Unlike physical abuse, it is often invisible — but its effects are profound. Over time, it erodes confidence, creates isolation, and leaves lasting emotional scars. Recognising these signs is the first step to breaking free and beginning recovery

Addiction within families has far-reaching effects that extend well beyond the individual struggling with substance use. Partners and children often live with chronic instability, financial strain, and emotional unpredictability, creating an atmosphere of fear, secrecy, and mistrust. Children in particular may take on premature responsibilities, becoming “parentified” to compensate for the absent or impaired parent, which can disrupt healthy development and leave lasting emotional scars. Spouses frequently experience feelings of betrayal, resentment, and loneliness, while the family system as a whole becomes organised around the addiction, with routines, communication, and emotional energy dominated by managing crises. Over time, families may become socially isolated due to shame or stigma, and patterns of co-dependency and denial can perpetuate the cycle. Even when recovery begins, the relational wounds caused by addiction often require therapeutic attention to rebuild trust, restore roles, and promote healthier functioning across the family unit.

Infidelity and betrayal in a marriage strike at the core of trust, which is the foundation of any intimate relationship. The discovery of an affair often leaves the betrayed partner experiencing profound shock, grief, and feelings of humiliation, alongside symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress such as intrusive thoughts, hypervigilance, and difficulty regulating emotions. It can trigger a crisis of identity and self-worth, as partners question their adequacy and re-evaluate the meaning of the relationship. The sense of betrayal frequently extends beyond the marital bond, disrupting family stability and, where children are involved, affecting their emotional security. Long after disclosure, couples may struggle with intimacy, communication, and trust, and even when reconciliation is attempted, the lingering effects of betrayal can reshape the trajectory of the marriage.

DBT, or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, is a type of therapy that helps people manage strong emotions, improve relationships, and cope better in difficult situations. It teaches practical skills in four areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
