Breaking Free from the Hoovering Phase: How Narcissists Pull You Back Into the Cycle
The hoovering phase is a powerful and manipulative tactic used by narcissists to draw their victims back into the toxic cycle of abuse. After a period of emotional distance, they may use guilt, promises of change, or emotional pleas to regain control. In our latest blog, we explore how hoovering works, its impact on victims, and practical insights on how to break free. At Acadia Psychotherapy in McKinney, TX, we're here to support you through your healing journey and help you stay grounded during this emotionally confusing phase.
