Abstract
There is little published research exploring Narcissistic Abuse Syndrome (NAS) and it is not a well-known phenomenon. NAS consists of: gaslighting, manipulation, social isolation and unease. Individuals who have a relationship with those diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) could be suffering from this form of abuse, but their suffering could go unrecognized and therefore, unaddressed. NAS occurs behind closed doors and survivors may be reluctant to ask for help for fear of others not believing their situation. It is essential for counselors to recognize the signs of NAS and advocate for individuals' mental wellbeing and right to not be in a toxic, abusive relationship, even when abuse may not leave visible scars.
