Reactive abuse is a term used to describe a phenomenon where the victim of abuse reacts to the abuser's behavior with aggression or abuse of their own. In narcissistic abuse, reactive abuse can occur when the victim has been pushed to their limits by the narcissist's manipulative behavior and reacts in a way that may be considered aggressive or abusive.

Narcissists are skilled at manipulating and controlling their victims, often using tactics such as gaslighting, verbal abuse, and emotional blackmail. This can cause the victim to feel powerless and helpless, leading them to lash out in an attempt to regain some control over the situation.

While reactive abuse is not a healthy or productive way to deal with narcissistic abuse, it is important to understand that it is often a symptom of the victim's trauma and desperation. Victims of narcissistic abuse may feel trapped and hopeless, and reacting with aggression may be their only way of trying to protect themselves.

It is important to note that the narcissist can also use reactive abuse as a form of manipulation. They may deliberately provoke the victim into reacting in a way that can be used to justify their abusive behavior, or they may use the victim's reaction to further control and manipulate them.

If you are a victim of narcissistic abuse, it is important to seek support and help from a qualified professional who can help you understand the dynamics of the abuse and develop healthy coping strategies. It is also important to remember that reactive abuse is not your fault and that you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity.
