Best of luck with you appointment. A knowledgeable and experienced therapist is critical in this area. IMO, unless people have experienced the insidious affects of narcissistic abuse, the abused can sound like dramatic, exaggerating, "angry" people, and be dismissed by some therapist. That happened to me, yet I stayed with the therapist and was blamed and told repeatedly that I was playing the "victim"....I was a victim, not playing one! He told me "It couldn't have been that bad!" I knew I should have left, but was hooked and very unknowing about a lot. I wanted help to recover and process this pain and abuse; so I uncovered every stone I could, on my own and found hope and knowledge, which lead to power. I hope today goes well!
