"For a long time, it has been implied that being in a romantic relationship with a narcissist could potentially cause post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms. However, such an association has not been empirically studied until now. In my 2022 research study conducted at Harvard University and published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, I found that narcissistic traits, particularly grandiose narcissism, predicted PTSD symptoms in those who had been in romantic relationships with partners high in these traits. This is the first large-scale research study to establish an association between narcissistic partner traits and PTSD symptoms." - Shahida Arabi, MA
Relationships With Narcissists Can Cause PTSD Symptoms, A New Research Study Finds
This is excellent news! And I believe with all my heart that being in a relationship with a narcissist can certainly result in victims suffering from PTSD because it happened to me and many other survivors. The result of long term abuse and stalking can also lead to severe alcoholism and drug addiction. I struggled with both and got diagnosed in 2017 after escaping being under his control. Being with a narcissist and sociopath is deadly ☠️ I always love reading your work as it is incredibly informative with raw honesty and powerful hope! 🙏💜
