Narcissistic abuse is described as a hypernym for the psychological, financial, sexual and/or physical abuse of others by someone with narcissistic traits. This rather accurate and factual description fails to capture the anxiety, depression, terror, isolation and often paralytic hopelessness that clients I work with experience as a result of narcissistic abuse.
