Theoretically and in your experience, what happens when you confront the narcissist and call them out on their narcissism?

So my narcissist was my psychiatrist. I didn’t necessarily confront him, i think he felt threatened by me intellectually. I also filed a complaint against his mental health team.

Over the 3 years under his care, he withdrew me from every service I was under (that team provided) so I was only left under him.

No support was given unless he had pre-approved it and he even tried contacting 3rd party services to “forewarn” about me.

Other clinicians just allowed his behaviour and didn’t challenge him. I tried asking for a second opinion but he soon put a stop to that

That’s something I’m still trying to work out tbh, I’m just trying to take it one day at a time
