This website is meant for those seeking healing and educational tools of empowerment for those who are abused through a casual empathic, emotional communication, but also rooted in socially responsive researched-based methods and personal experience. I want to dedicate this page to the survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV) and family violence (FV), more specifically specializing in Narcissistic Abuse Recovery methods. The path to healing is challenging.
Why do narcissists want control?
A narcissist wants control because it takes the place of love. When you lack love and true affective empathy for another, then control takes the place of that.
Control becomes synoymous with "life" itself for a narcissist. Everything they do has to be exactly as they want. It's not for the betterment of all involved, but simply because they feel that they need to have control over you.
