Identifying Victims of Narcissistic Abuse By Christine Hammond, MS, LMHC

"Several names have been tossed around to describe what happens to these victims. Some have called it Narcissistic Victim Syndrome (NVS), Trauma-Associated Narcissistic Symptoms (TANS), or Post Traumatic Narcissism Syndrome (PTNS). However, none of these is an official diagnosis. Each of these has a similar list of symptoms:

Flashbacks of the behavior and trauma
Extreme fear for their personal safety
Highly strung or nervous
Constantly scanning environment for potential threats
Depression, irritability, and guilt
Multiple physical complaints
Might engage in self-harm
Panic attacks
Numbing and shock
Impaired concentration and memory
Feeling they are going mad
Insomnia and nightmares
Obsessive compulsive behaviors or eating disorders
Suppressed anger
Might be dissociative
Might be suicidal
Constantly second guessing
Difficulty making simple decisions
