"You're Not alone...we've got your back!"

The first of its kind in the uk, RISE Scotland's mission is to empower women & children survivors of narcissistic abuse through compassionate support, education, and advocacy—helping them reclaim their voices, rebuild their lives, and thrive in safe, healthy environments.

 

💔 What is Narcissistic Abuse?

 

Narcissistic abuse is a deeply harmful form of emotional and psychological manipulation.

 

It often involves controlling behaviour, gaslighting (making you question your reality), constant criticism, and subtle or overt intimidation.

 

Survivors are frequently left feeling confused, isolated, and as if they’re "not enough" — even when they’re doing everything they can to hold things together.

 

It doesn't always look like traditional abuse — and that's what makes it so dangerous. Narcissistic abuse can be invisible from the outside, but devastating on the inside.

 

🚩 Red Flags and Common Signs:

 

• Feeling like you're constantly walking on eggshells

• Being blamed for things that aren’t your fault

• Having your memories or feelings denied or twisted (gaslighting)

• Being isolated from friends, family, or support systems

• Regular silent treatment or unpredictable emotional outbursts

• Constant criticism, even for small things

• Feeling like you can’t do anything “right”

• Your self-worth has eroded over time

• A cycle of love-bombing, devaluation, and discard

• Feeling confused, emotionally exhausted, or like you’re “losing yourself”
