Narcissistic Abuse: Recognizing Double Bind Coercion @ Echo Recovery

"The Ultimatum Double Bind
A dilemma requiring a decision between one thing and another thing, but choosing either one of them will bring a consequence you do not want to experience.
Then, if you comment or confront the person bringing you this dilemma, that will bring you a consequence you do not want.
All three responses will bring you consequences you do not want.
So you decide you are not going to participate in this, but making no decision at all will also bring you a consequence.
Trapped on all sides
No winning
You are in a catch-22"
