Narcissists have a unique ability to drain the emotional and mental energy of empaths. The constant manipulation, gaslighting, and emotional rollercoaster often leave empaths feeling exhausted and powerless. Narcissists thrive on attention, and the more energy you give, the more they take.

To reclaim your power, you must learn to protect your energy. Establishing emotional boundaries is essential. This could mean limiting conversations that feel draining or avoiding situations where you know the narcissist will try to provoke a reaction. Grounding techniques, such as deep breathing, visualization, and mindfulness, can help you stay present and prevent emotional overwhelm.

Additionally, learn to say "no" without guilt. Narcissists often rely on an empath’s tendency to please others, but reclaiming your power means prioritizing your well-being. By cutting off the narcissist’s energy supply—your emotional involvement—you slowly take back control of your life and begin to feel empowered again.
